Same here. The Lumilight is nowhere near good enough for any serious lighting. I'm having to use it to walk the dogs in the morning at the moment, and it barely lights where my feet need to go. Petlz are definitely much better.

I've got three whippet crosses. Two are cross greyhound, the other is cross collie. They are all a really nice size - to my 5 ft 2 knee, and very robust. They have no prey drive at all, and are 100% around all stock. The collie cross is incredibly intelligent, which took a bit of getting used...

Was coming in to day this!

This seems awfully excessive to me if you're just going to be hacking around the 400 acres - that's not a huge area. Is it a health and safety policy issue?

I feed Pink Mash which has Protexin in it. I need a (very) low calorie feed for my mare and she's had a couple of gas colics/is generally very gassy. Not sure wther it helps, but it looks fab and she eats it. I do wonder whether I'd be better off feeling something cheaper and then adding the...

But they're in and out in no time at all. They'll be off to their new homes before they know it. I think it all looks OK.

Swish are great. If by any chance you want a 6ft unused 50g in hot pink, I've got one to sell 😂😂. My mare told me in no uncertain terms she did not want to be wearing a stable rug, so it's stayed in its bag ever since.

I'm the same. Have had the Acavello and Sprenger expensive stirrups, but sold them in favour of my Compositi Reflex ones. I wouldn't use anything else now (I do only hack though).

My whippets wouldn't dream of getting their paws wet usually. They do go in the sea occasionally if they're playing with another dog that enjoys the water, but they'd never voluntarily get out of their depth. I can't imagine a situation where I would actually make them go into water out of their...

We've had a lovely mix of sunshine and rain in this corner of south west Wales.

I went to Oxford on Wednesday and couldn't believe how dry everything was. We are spoilt with rain in Wales, that's for sure! Though as we got into Oxford, we'd brought the rain with us. But it's usually too wet to make hay, it's all haylage around here. We're used to paying extortionate prices...

Are you in South/West Wales by any chance? Absolutely no sign of these records breaking temperatures here. I just keep getting absolutely soaked through. I

Mine looks fantastic on Spillers Senior Mash. It smells wonderful and is obviously really tasty. It's soaks in minutes so is really convenient, too.

I'm straight out, as in 20 steps, onto open mountain. Perfect ground in most parts. Boggy bits obvious if you're observant. If i ride 15minutes down the road, I've got the western Brecon Beacons to ride on. It's all pretty exposed so can be wild weather wise at times, and we have cattle, sheep...

Mine had runny eyes and had a nasty reaction to fly bites.
