summer shelter i think straw on bare earth is fine
winter shelters i think you need to do mud control mats then sand or shavings to stop slip and then straw on top to keep it dry
ok he was in training for a few months but this is our boy:
Winter Games- now 7yo stallion by Mehmas he is still entire and available at stud, aimed at sports horse market (rather than racing)
ive had some nice horses, TB and WB and i have to say this one has the nicest brain
in the nicest possible way -what you wrote about gelding him was absolute 100% tripe, so why is anyone going to take anything further from the same source seriously?
if you really do know something no one else does you can sit back smugly when it all comes to light but so far you haven't...
in a 4yo yes a big problem, in anything over 9 competing above medium its pretty standard..................thats about the smallest issue in this whole thing TBH
would normally just soak it in big trugs outside stable.
if its purely for dust not sugars, steaming or damping with a watering can suffices short term for mine
decent snow here in Cheshire, horses are at home so zero issue there.
took me 45 min to do 6 miles to work lol! didnt get over 20mph and thank feck for 4WD truck!
rather than the spillers conditioining cubes i feed the ulca power cubes from the racing range-slightly higher DE, similar ingredients, better value 925kg bag)
doesnt hot up my TB
creosote the top of the rails (the proper stuff, get someone with an agri license to buy it) and then cut a few branches off various trees and leave them in her field and even some small ones in her stable.
my TB will chew out of boredom as the bad weather sets in and he has to come in a bit...
