    Top chop zero

He comes in to his netted soaked hay and has a few pulls I push in the trug of Topchop damped down and he turns away from his hay and tucks into...

    Top chop zero

    When I first gave it to him he was mad for it ate it before his hay then the enthusiasm petered out now he is happy to eat it. I weigh out how much I give him every night. Some morning the tub is licked clean sometimes it has a small wet amount in the bottom and occasionally it is buried in his...

    Top chop zero

    My boy has been on Topchop zero all winter. He gets soaked hay and then a tub of this damped down to keep him going when the hay runs out. Not sure about the ref to an Apple smell there is no apple in it.

    Struggling to get my leg over

    Your pelvis is crooked go to a chiropractor. Mine sneaked up on me when I had a break from horses and I was mortified that I could only dismount by falling off in a sort of slidy manner.

    For those with no set plan for their horse.

    Speaking as a mature lady who is teaching her horse to play football I am getting braver amongst the dressage divas.

    For those with no set plan for their horse.

    I am wearing the same pants. I am having to face the fact that my life will never be the same again as I will never have the level and fitness and agility. I was recovering from breast cancer DCIS when I fractured my spine and leg. I had bought a new 4 X 4 to go out and about 6 months...

    For those who lack in confidence...

    OP I am singing and clapping for you. My horse has had a few confidence issues and in October he was spooked by tractors rearranging the hedges and long story short 6 months in a TSF for my left leg and a spinal brace because I burst L3. He isn't evil it was wrong place wrong time for us both...

    Loss of riding confidence...help?!

    This is really good to hear. I am back mobile again. I can walk and drive. My biggest accomplishment is walking a straight line. The boy and I are making friends again and I am planning lots of walks once my feet stop aching. Not surprising bearing in mind I haven't stood properly on them for 6...

    Help - Wellies for a dodgy ankle laced?

    It's not something I had thought of until I tried to pop my wellies on but the swollen ankle isn't for ballet dancing and I doubt it ever will be again. I pointed my toe applied welly and thought botheration or similar.

    Help - Wellies for a dodgy ankle laced?

    I was hoping for something longish as the mud by the gates and on our track is challenging.

    Help - Wellies for a dodgy ankle laced?

    Hi Folks I hope this makes sense I am desparate for wellies I can put on easily they need to lace up the front. I badly fractured my ankle in October. I haven't been near the yard for nearly 6 months (I fractured my spine as well) and now I am allowed I can't get wellies on because my poorly...
