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...
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.

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...
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.
