    Sole use yard rates?

    Hi guys wondering if any of you could give me a rough idea of what you'd expect to pay a month renting a yard. I've been at my current yard for 20 years, unfortunately they're selling up so having to look at others but feeling I'm extremely out the loop regarding the current monthly rates...

    Back person recommendations kent

    Depends what part of Kent your in, I'm down Canterbury way. Can't recommend Victoria Henderson (physio) and Julia Ledger-munich (chiro/acupuncture) enough. They've both worked wonders on my horses.

    Coping with competition nerves

    Highly recommend reading the book perfect mind: perfect ride by inga wolframm. It's based on sport psychology, starting off with the theory then moving onto methods you can utilise. I couldn't put it down!

    Cold backed mare

    Thanks for the advice guys! My local tack shop only had Naffs no bite but it certainly seems to be doing the trick! Rugs in once piece now! I also sprayed some on the straw beds as mine like to have a chomp on that too! They haven't touched it since. Thanks again :)

    Youngster biting/breaking field mates rugs. Help!

Messaged you too but thought i'd also post here :) I've actually decided to turn my boy away for 6 months, although i was against this to begin with, the pros outweighed the cons.
