    Dom's first outing in 2011

    Best hay replacers/grass - what do you feed??

    Give Three a pm. Her Arab is now 35 and with no matching teeth left yet looks really good. She did a lot of trial and error and research to get his diet just right, including hay replacement.

    Rider and 2 horses Killed and 1 rider injured Brentwood Essex

    renting out horsebox

    Also don't forget as the vehicle will become a commercial vehicle you might find you need to have your taco working etc. Best to give VOSA a call and ask them all the details. I would suspect unless you can regularly hire it out the costs to you wouldn't make it profitable.

    "Accosting the judge"???

    Never accosted but yes I think we may have spoken to a judge after a competition. Most of them are really nice if you are genuinly asking a proper question and not just trying to 'slag' them off as such. Sometimes it can be helpful to have an interpretation of a comment.

    Naked Oats vs. Propell plus??
