    Round bottomed buckets?

    Just a warning I brought these and they had shards of metal sticking in, as I washed them out it went straight down my finger nail. I checked the others and 2 out of 10 had similar issues

    Sand colic prevention supplements

    I usually buy American equine sand out and treat fir 7 days every month. With 5 horses its a bit expensive, but have been recommended to just use the psyllium husks that they also sell. Anyone have any thoughts?

    Poor horse

    I cannot tell you how many livery yards I know of that don't have daily turnout cine October to April. It's heartbreaking and those poor horses don't even get out for exercise ?
