Hi Does anyone know please if there's any off road riding around Munderfield Stocks? I've looked on a map and can't see much, but local knowledge is always better so I thought I'd ask on here! Failing that, does anyone know of a nice horsey discussion group on Facebook for the Hereford...

Thank you for all your views, I think I may leave the hat cam!

I would love a hat cam, but I've been told they are dangerous as they can affect the integrity of any safety hat or helmet worn for sports, and this is why Michael Schumacher was so badly injured. He was wearing a hat cam, fell on it, it caused his ski helmet to split which then caused his...

Oh poo, sounds like I may have bought a white elephant then. I think I'll send the company an exploratory e-mail and see what they say. :) My horse doesn't stand in the sun all day with no shade available. He comes in 11ish til 5ish anyway and I wanted a fly rug for him to wear from 5pm to...

I've just bought my horse a silver fly rug and read the blurb beforehand that said the rug was a silver colour to reflect the sun's rays and keep the horse cool. So I thought "Oo that's good" and bought one on line. Put it on my horse yesterday afternoon and went back at 8am this morning...

I was in the stable with my horse the other day, just mooching about as my phone had rung so I was yakking on the phone. I reached up absentmindedly to stroke his forelock and accidently poked him in the eye! He was most upset and then wouldn't let me stroke his head, and went to stand at...

I've come across lots of really nice motorists recently, not a single unpleasant one. It must be the summer weather putting everyone in a good mood! :) (I hope I haven't cursed myself now!)

I did exactly the same as you! When I first bought my horse, I could hardly eat or sleep for 2 weeks afterwards. Handy, as it meant I shifted half a stone in weight without even trying :p But now I'm a year on and I can honestly say the more you do, the easier it gets. ;)

I gave up on both companies so my boy is still unmarked. Freezemark Ltd wanted me to organise a group of 8 people to make it worth their while coming out (which I thought I would be able to do but failed to in the end). Farmkey gave me the number for their representative for my area. So I...

Great idea!

Yes it's caught me out. Mine has been out in a muzzle for 4 weeks and has digital pulses last night. What does everyone use to soak hay? A friend I have fallen out with now used a black dustbin with a tap at the base to drain the water, like a water butt has which seemed a good idea...

I've had my 11 year old gelding for eight months and had the vet out today for a routine dental check and rasp. She asked if he was a crib biter as his lower teeth were quite worn down. Well he isn't a crib biter, at least I've never seen him doing it and there's no evidence of him doing it...

Okay thanks. I was worried it might be glued together and so would fall to bits in the washing machine. :)

I've just got my Shires grazing muzzle today, and on the tag it says : "Muzzles are designed to be used as part of an overall weight management program or for clinical purposes and are not intended to be used 24/7. They should only be worn for part of the day." It doesn't say why...
