Are there any hoof related benefits to feeding hay rather than haylage? I have the option at my yard but she has always been on haylage, no particular reason other than she likes it and seems to do well on it.

Thats encouraging to hear, thanks Gemma. Her feet are so short that I worry if she chips any more off she will have no feet left! It cant put her in very good balance when I ride her barefoot in the school... fingers crossed she starts improving soon :)

Thanks so much for your help Lucy it really is appreciated. I will try and take photos tonight. I admit I dont know enough about the right thing to feed and tried seaweed because someone suggested it and the lo cal balancer because I wasnt aware of more hoof friendly options at the time, just...

Could you possibly let me have the details of the yard you are on near Wirksworth? And any others around there with nice floodlit arenas? Thanks :)

I am looking for livery near duffield, preferably Assisted DIY type thing with turnout included. The most important thing for me is having a good floodlit manege and all year round turnout in the day :)

Hi, Does anyone know of any DIY/Part livery yards in Belper and surrounding areas with an indoor or covered arena? Or if not a DIY yard with a floodlit arena at least 20 x 40 with nice surface? I am struggling to find one with all year round turnout in the day. I could go to Belper, Holbrook...
