    Should I feed Vit E

    I started to use vit e a few months ago after I saw a decline in my old horse. I was wondering if his time had come . He was a bit down and spending more time on his own and also when laying down he was taking more time than normal to get up. I started him on 4,000 he is back to his normal self...

    Most stupid thing you've called the vet for?

    Is Parelli all bad?

    A friend and I were given some videos to watch with the games. We both fell alseep 🤣 In all honesty I never really got it, I’m sure there are good bits but I think there are better horsemanship skills without the high pitch sell.

    DIY with 24/7 turnout Desborough/ Corby area

    I have a friend near Corby and asked her for you. She doesn’t think you will find 24/7 turnout in the yards she knows of. Might be worth putting a advert in the Welland feed’s newsletter

    Thoughts on oldies and 24/7 winter turnout vs. night time stabling

    My oldies 27, 25 and 22 are so much better out. One especially gets really stiff when he comes in. This year I have kept them out 24/7 and they are absolutely fine. Ad lib hay and 2 big feeds of grass nuts and linseed have ensured their weight have been consistent. I think this is best they have...
