My gelding either picks the bucket up in his mouth and throws it or puts his feet in it if he can’t pick it up. He gets turned out during the day and has likits and toys to play with in his stable. I have tried putting the bucket in one tyre, two tyres and even three tyres! Tried putting bricks...

Will have a look at ruggles thanks! Nasicus that gives me hope that he’ll grow into a normal shape! :D

He wears a fly rug as he has had a few reactions to fly bites

Sorry forgot to put it’s fly rugs I’m struggling with! Praying that I can find a turnout rug to fit him come winter time though

I have a 2 year old section c and his chest seems to be the last thing to grow! Every rug I put on him slides down his chest so the buckles sit at the top of his front legs. I’ve tried so many different sizes and brands on him but none seem to fit:( he measures to be 4’9 but when I put that size...

I have been bitless with my horse for about 6 months now and we are both loving it! I haven’t actually bought a proper bitless bridle for him yet, I have just taken the bit off his usual bridle and added steel rings to it. I have borrowed a cross under bridle from a friend for him but the...

It’s only just started this year, didn’t think about pollen. Thanks:)

My gelding has recently started nodding his head as if a fly has landed on his nose. It’s not a continuous nod or one for attention. He does it when he’s tied up, being ridden, in the stable, in the field etc. It’s like something touches his nose and it makes him jump a little and then he nods...

My horse lost part of his mane 3 years ago due to his fly rug rubbing. It’s still not grown back, just a few straggly hairs. The skin itself looks healthy, is there any miracle cream to help hair grow back? Is MTG worth a try?

He’s a pure D

I have a Welsh C who is 18 months and standing at 12hh. His dam is 12.3hh and sire 14.1hh. I’m hoping he will make 13.2hh, is this realistic? Does anyone else have any welsh yearlings and know what height they’re standing at now?

I have a dark palomino yearling with a white mane and tail with black streaks. Or that’s how he should look! His mane and tail are currently yellow and the end of his tail is brown. No matter how much I wash it, it’s still not clean. Any tips? I heard ketchup takes stains out? Or is that a load...

The other, he's 17

My welshie will not stand whilst being ridden but he will stand to be groomed for hours. He isn't in any pain, he will be fidgety whether he is wearing a saddle or not. He just wants to move. If I ask him to stand then he paws at the ground and walks backwards, I want to take him to riding...

Thank you equi, will try that tomorrow. He was so good as a baby and now he's hit his teens he just always has to be the centre of attention!
