    Livery near St Boswell’s?

    I’m moving up to the borders from Somerset in June. Can anyone reccomend any livery yards within about 25mins drive of St Boswell’s? Full or assisted part livery considered.

    Nearest to the Comfort Zone Lapel Rug?

    Used to love these rugs and gutted that I sold my old one! Can anyone reccomend something similar? Looking for a rug for winter travelling and post exercise or bathing so must have good wicking properties. I’ve found the ‘giraffe’ version on eBay but looks like it might be a lot thinner?

    Insurance query - splitting claim

    You only get 12 months from when the condition is first noted. So if it’s time that is tight then splitting the claim if they do let you won’t change anything.

    bridle/rein dilemma for in-hand showing- opinions needed please!

    Judges really don't care if tack is brown or black as long as the rest of it is correct! Adults should be shown in doubles or Pelhams with two reins inhand but for a local show a smart plain caves son bridle with a set of reins will be fine.

    Weak stifles on a young horse?

    You have a year from when the problem was first noted on the record in order to get any tests or treatment claimed through the insurance. If you're covered I would bone scan her now. You may still end up turnning her away but you won't have the option of insurance cover if you turn her away...

    PS of Sweden High Jump Bridles

    I'm thinking of treating my boy to a new bridle. Just wondering what the leather quality and fit of these are like? Anyone seen them in January sale?

    Any Duck experts!?

    If it's a newly acquired thing I would be concerns about mycoplasma arthritis that is now causing tendon slip (mixed practice vet here). If that is the case antibiotics needed asap but potentially untreatable.

    3.5T lorry and hay issues - what solutions are there?

    I've recently purchased a 3.5T Nissan conversion. It was converted 6m ago but only in a basic way so plenty of scope to individualise as I want it. I always travel my boy with a haynet but the horse area opens into the grooms area at the back, with the saddle racks on the back doors as per...

    Five British Labs Use Horses in Experiments, Claims Animal Right

    They don't have barns of ex-racehorses etc. This will also include things they do do such as extra tests on bloods initially taken for diagnostic reasons etc.

    Reading through BEF results

    We were discussing that the other day cundle green, that the marks seem to be lower. Maybe its just the standard of horses coming forward, but also the mark sheets have changed alot this year, with much fewer categories of marks. I do think the vetting has been much more thorough this year which...

    How Are The Evaluaters At Futurity Or Gradings Evaluated?

    If county shows up and down the country can release judges names months in advance (as entries for some do close ridiculously early!) surely the BEF can? We all know that illness/accidents do happen so last minute judges changes can occur, but surely what harm is there in releasing the names?
