    Newbie in Ayr

    Hi Jane, I live about 15 miles from Ayr. Places closest to you would be Ayr Equestrian, Muirmill just outside Dundonald (I'm sure they still do lessons, but I could be wrong, you would need to check), Lionsgate just outside Ayr or Woodside which is in Monkton. All these are good riding...

    Best food for dog with sensitive skin

    I have tried every food under the sun with my Jack Russell who has a bad skin allergy, including raw, to no avail. He has had steriods, shampoos, creams & lotions from the vet and nothing has had any effect for long. A friend suggested I try goats milk, build it up a little at a time...

    Would you deliberately hack in the dark with hi vis?

    Sadly it is a common occurrence on the road to my house. I have 2 yards in close proximity and riders from both are regularly out on the roads with NO hi viz, reflectives or lights! I found that out the hard way when I came across a stupid young girl on a black pony with her wearing head...

    What wormers should I use for January??

    If the SQP advised Pramox and you told her you wanted to worm with Equest & Equitape instead, then I don't see the problem. They do the same thing when combined. This is what was used before Pramox was introduced after all. I'm sorry if I seem too officious about it too, I'm really not like...

    What wormers should I use for January??

    If they came in with a written prescription from the vet then yes I would in theory be able to sell the prescribed wormer. If I thought the prescription was blatently wrong ie: horse would be underdosed etc... then I would question it, we are allowed to overrule vets in this sense. It is me...

    Horse started dipping his haylage in his water?

    Thank you for all your replies! He has been known to windsuck/crib bite but since moving him to another stable away from the only other horse on the yard who does the same, he has stopped. The haylage is pretty good quality considering the horrible summer we have had up here. His teeth...

    What is reasonable money per week for sharing my horse?

    I share a 17hh ISH and I'm not expected to pay a penny! Owner is just glad of the help. I do a combination of mornings and nights on different days. I do all jobs and yard duties as required and treat the horse like my own. I pay half his shoes as I feel guilty about not paying for him but...

    Horse started dipping his haylage in his water?

    Hello, Just wondered if anyone would know why he has started doing this? He normally has an automatic drinker but I have covered this up as he dips so much haylage in it the floor ends up soaking and his water is filthy! He does do it with a water bucket too, but not as much. No changes...
