    Long Riding Socks

    I’m really liking the Lemieux competition socks at the moment. Have bought quite a few pairs in the sale recently 🙈

    Bone chip removal

    When baby spice demolished his sesamoid he went in to Rossdales to have 3 chips removed, which maxed out our insurance limit of 6k in a matter of hours 🙈 I can’t remember in the end if he had all 3 removed and ended up with one left in as it was lodged in his suspensory branch, or if it was only...

    Actually waterproof rug brands 50/100g

    It doesn’t help with the budget, but I love Bucas rugs. Our boys are in atlantic turnouts and even the rug wreckers have failed to destroy them! I have 2 warmbloods (though one is basically part dinosaur!) and a TB and they fit them all equally well and haven’t leaked so far.

    Costs of running a 3.5 t horsebox

    For a 3.5t you’re looking at tax, mot, insurance with recovery, and servicing on an annual basis, plus depending on age you’ll want a contingency pot for any unexpected repairs that crop up. Specifics will very much depend on the age/cost of the box you go for. For the last 8 years we had a...

    Is everyone surviving Flooding Friday OK??

    We’ve just brought the boys in for the first time since we turfed them out last October as it’s wet and blustery here. I’m half tempted to keep them in tonight but will see how it is in a few hours. My youngster is away on schooling livery and having a duvet day.

    Charles Owen to cease UK Production

    I’ve ended up panic buying a back up MIPS halo after CO confirmed the models manufactured in the UK won’t continue once the remaining stock has sold. They did go on to say they may “reinvent and relaunch them at an appropriate time in the future” but I didn’t want to risk not being able to...

    How many horses do you own!

    Technically 5, but one is away on permanent loan so doesn’t count. The other 4 live at home, though my youngest is currently away on schooling livery.

    Moving to a house with land. Should I bring my old, anxious horse with me?

    I know it’s not the crux of your question, but just on this point, will you have enough land to rest/rotate if they do end up needing separate paddocks? We’ve had the horses at home coming up 5 years now and I truly hadn’t appreciated just how quickly land can get messed up without adequate...

    Hay prices

    6.50 up from 5 for a small bale. Farmer has mentioned he’s not taking on new customers and is charging those that aren’t regulars 7.50 a bale.

    YHL discount code?

    The only one I could find is SEIBSFAS25 which is the extra guest code for search for a star. It looks like you can use it without verifying who you’re a guest of, but whether there’d be checks on the gate I’m not sure.

    Herwig Radnetter

    Ah I’m so jealous, we’ve since moved 3hrs away and don’t seem to get the same calibre of clinics up this way.

    Herwig Radnetter

    Yes! I’ve been to several clinics of his over the years. I really rate him and got a lot out of the sessions at the time.

    Viewing a youngster, is he overpriced?

    £5k sounds pretty reasonable tbh. That said I know from friends that breed that they’ve really had to drop the price to get youngstock sold lately, so this close to winter you may get lucky with a cheeky offer.
