    Bridley Manor Farm - Change in Management - BEWARE

    I worked at Bridley manor when the yard was separate. We had the indoor American barn which was full livery, the outside yard was a mix of assisted DIY and part livery. At the time Pam and Gary ran it. There was almost never an empty stable, it was such a lovely place to be with great facilities...

    Cooking linseed in a rice cooker

    Google says they do, as long as there is water in the cooker it will heat to and remain at 100° I’m trying to avoid the inevitable mess of my saucepan and hob 😣

    Cooking linseed in a rice cooker

    As per title really, has anyone cooked linseed in a rice cooker? I’m keen to feed linseed cooked rather than stuff you buy from Charnwoods milling. I’m useless at remembering stuff on the hob and I don’t really have time to be stood watching a saucepan for hours. We used to cook up boiled...

    Wahl KMC+ they have a much stronger motor than the harmony’s. I can clip my 17hh warmblood out, legs, face the lot, with them.

    Best hot horse shower?

    You may as well save yourself a bit more money and buy one on eBay then. There is absolutely nothing that matches the quality of Hippo, you do get what you pay for.

    Where are the good 7.5t horseboxes?

    Older more sturdy bodies are put on to newer chassis. I have now found almost exactly what was looking for and it’s not £15k

    Where are the good 7.5t horseboxes?

    How much did you spend on a lorry and then on the build? I’m on a bit of a time constraint as having no transport isn’t really an option but neither is putting him back in the trailer.

    Where are the good 7.5t horseboxes?

    I’m in the market for a 7.5t Horsebox. My horse has decided that the nice new equitrek trailer is offensive because of the tack locker - fair, he is a big lad. Can I find a decent 7.5t WITHOUT tack lockers…… no, I can’t. My budget is up to £15k but ideally more £10-£12k so I have some wedge for...

    Strangles vaccine - should we be embracing it more??

    It isn’t hard to find the manufacturer of the vaccine - it’s Dechra UK, the horses passport will contain the batch number, self report. My horse has had it, had his second dose last week, he reacts to everything and to my absolute disbelief, he hasn’t reacted to this one.

    Audi Q3 and towing

    No it’s not big enough to tow with. I bought a Q3 2.0 TDI with the intention of towing, brakes weight tow capacity was 1800kg which for me wasn’t sufficient to feel comfortable to tow with. I would imagine the petrol version with a slightly smaller engine is even less capable. ETA - I sold it...

    Best vit and min supplements?

    I have been using equilibra 500, interested to hear what people think. It was one I could get without nasties in, he won’t eat powders.

    Strangles vaccine - should we be embracing it more??

    I have been doing a bit of research about this as i’m considering giving it to my horse. I have also spoken to my vet practice. There is a 94% success rate at preventing or significantly reducing infection in vaccinated horses. The vaccine is believed to be effective for up to 400 days after the...
