You’re right that the Renegades possibly aren’t the best for shock absorbing. However, they stay on, even in wet sucky mud. They give the best grip on the wet ground. Don’t rub. And I find are very unlikely to twist if fitted well. They’re also hard wearing. Mine have done miles and miles on...

I have an EMS pony (also has Cushings but is medicated) who also has COPD. And I manage him alongside three others who can eat. In summer he goes out on a grass track at night with the others, he wears a muzzle if necessary. And then goes on a surfaced track/ yard with haylage at night whilst...

Hoof Boutique will advise on for re. Vipers 😊

Not budget option would be a Hay Cube. Plus you can soak the hay in it. Budget option would be a big trug tub. But they can make more mess.

For one of mine who had long term issues that we (us and vet) had been unable to get to the bottom of it was life changing. He’d had hives and hind gut issues for two years by the time we decided to try it. Using the oily herbs and Equibiome prebiotic made a big difference. But following the...

If they come through salt and peppery they can grow out. If it’s solid white, then they don’t seem to.

I don’t particularly enjoy other peoples horses. I enjoy mine. I enjoy improving a horse and the journey they take you on. I enjoy the relationship. I enjoy having them around, and I appreciate the routine they bring to life.

I have four on heavy clay 2.5 acres which we manage carefully. They live out on it in summer on a track around the outside in the day and then rotate around smaller internal paddocks at night. We poo pick twice a day and then muck spread on land that will be rested. The grass track is now...

Just double check how much it can carry as a 3.5ton. The payload may be too small to be usable 😊

I put an advert on Preloved and a local horsey Facebook page. Made it very clear the sort of person I was after and what I was offering. Told a lot of people they weren’t suitable. Quizzed a few more and then told them they weren’t suitable either. Allowed three to come and try him. Decided...

I trim the insides and backs fairly short. Cut the outside level with the ear leather. And then add layers to the fluff on the outside. They’re still wavy spaniel ears, and don’t look too trimmed. They still pick us some stuff. But are loads easier to keep on top of. And he still looks like a...

Mine doesn’t get gutty with the rainfall but he has never been a ‘gutty’ horse. However, I do know that if I feed oily herbs and prebiotics he copes with fluctuations in the grass better metabolically.

We have one of these. https://www.electric-fence.co.uk/voss-farming-solar-energiser-sunny-200-incl-12v-battery-mains-adapter.html It’s been great and keeps the fence running. The only time we had an issue was when we brought it in for the winter and the battery ran empty. They replaced it...

From home. It’s utterly appalling. Roads only, about four bridleways in hacking distance. But they aren’t really worth bothering with and absolutely aren’t connected in anyway shape or form 🙈 If we do venture out we stick to a short loop round a housing estate, it’s the quietest route. However...

You can leave Equine Fusions on 24hrs a day in drier weather. Provided you are really hot on hygiene in between and try and give her some time each day with them off for her feet to air. I wouldn’t do it with other types of boot, as they’re too liable to twisting and rubbing. But the EF’s are a...
