Wer have just administered ours. Ordered in the bit between Xmas and new year. Delivered on 2nd Jan from hyperdrug. Just looked and they are now showing as unavailable!

Ijust swap to high fibre bagged haylage. It's often lower in sugar anyway. I also do this in freezing weather when it isn't possible to soak. My boy seems to cope with this quite happily.

Sounds like an excellent opportunity. I am local and DIY stable and grazing, with no school but good storage is about £35 per week. So if 5 stables works out at £175 per week. Or £758.30 per month.

Connie boy turns 22 in 2026. I've owned him since he was 4. He is still in full work , although he doesn't compete anymore after a very successful competition career.

We have 11 horses (a mix of retired and youngstock) living out on about 15 acres. Due to good grass growth in the Autumn we have only just started feeding them hay. Our lovely hay man will be delivering one four string hay bale every 10 days or so, depending on the weather. We also have 3 horses...

My boys live out for 7/8 months of the year, but come the end of November they want to come in overnight. They have grass, hay, shelter and hard standing in their field, so not standing in mud. I think they just like the routine of coming in and my older boy definitely likes to have a good sleep...

My Reincoat light kept me completely dry while doing the yard and walking the dog in very heavy rain.

Anything connected to heart, breathing or eyes no straight away. Also anything connected with potential lameness would be an absolute no, although I ask for very 'mild' flexion tests, as I don't really believe in them. Sarcoids it would depend on location. I wouldn't want melanomas on a 6 year...

My buckskin connie was super easy, some of you will remember bady dun. As a youngster he never really bothered about anything. Backing and riding away was easy. First competitions were easy, never bothered about dressage boards or fillers. He is 13 now and doing the job of a safe sane allrounder...

English bridles.

I bought them from ebay about £40 each,but that was a few years ago. I'm sure they could be made if you know someone handy!

I have wooden hay feeders -made from pallet wood. I tie slow feeder hay nets into the base.. My horses are shod and this works really well!

Form me it depends a lot on where the horse is coming from.

Just turned awful here. Strong wind and heavy rain. There are 4 horses on our yard who normal live out, we have taken to putting them in the indoor school over night when the weather is like this. Those that normally come in are all tucked up in bed.

Nothing as wonderful as a grey over height connie -says the owner of a grey over height connie! :)
