I use a refractor to test my hay if it’s under 10 I don’t soak at all. If it over 10 in the winter when I can’t soak I use bagged haylage . This is working fine so far for my ems and Cushings pony

Personally I think it’s gone mad . It’s all over social media and supermarkets have now cashed in on the meals for people on the weight loss jabs . My sister who wasn’t that big. She only had a stone or so to lose. She’s now so thin and looks ill , she won’t stop taking it as she’s become...

I have started using Dodson and horrell vits and mins daily for 3 of mine that only need a handful of chaff. It’s not expensive and is on the list of recommended vits and mins from Clare Macleod nutritionist. My farrier commented that their hooves had improved so I am pleased with it .

Le meiux long coat , really warm and completely dry

For my rug wreckers I buy 2nd hand now and try and get Rambo /rhino/ shires . For my old horses I haven’t had to buy as they don’t wreck theirs , still have rambos and rhinos from over 25 yrs and still going strong .
