Thank you, yes I would think the same thing, it always seems pretty busy up there! I'm going up there on Sat so I will have a good nose about!

Hello, I'm thinking of moving yards and was wondering if anyone is able to tell me what Brook Farm is like? I have been there plenty of times for shows, but I have no idea what the livery yard is like. Are the people nice, good stables, things I should watch out for etc... I've got a...

Thank you, yes he has access to hay all day long but he seems bored of it already. He's always been fussy with his hay, all the other horses on the yard eat it fine and he will eat it sometimes and others he turns his nose up at it. I've been dampening it and try the same batch dry... he's not...

Anyone...? :)

My 7 year old ISH has a torn hoof and is on box rest. Before this we competed regularly and he was fed on dodson and horrell fibre performance, speedi-beet (autumn through to end of spring) and ad-lib hay. He has been on box rest for 2 weeks, at the start I gradually changed his diet over to...

Bath the day of the show with blue shampoo. it's the only thing I can do with my grey. Even with all the rugs and hoods, he still gets poop on him!

^^ oops forgot to say we are allowed to be there out of hours for veterinary purposes/working late/shows.

Yard opens at about 7-8am, although I have been there earlier and it closes at 10pm on a weeknight and 7pm on a weekend as the yard owner lives onsite - my tackroom is right opposite her front door and I'm usually the last one sneaking home as quietly as possible. So I also check all lights are...

I get my worst and best comments from my Instructor, when I am at competitions I think I'm "in the zone" so don't really hear what others have to say. Bad commments have included "so are you going for a s**t up there?", "keep your hands even, you're not knitting me a jumper?" "it would be...

Thanks guys, I went for the oxi action at the weekend and it got most of the stains out. Next week - nappysan! :)

I don't know about you, but within 5 minutes my sparkling new white jods have lovely brown marks from my saddle (I do thoroughly clean and "polish" it with a cloth to try and remove left over leather cream) and occassional green slobber from the gg :rolleyes:. How do you get your jods back to...

haha! I agree :)

I just read in another thread that you can use marmite on sarcoids!

I get two new bags and soak one each in cups of warm water, say while i make my haynets, then I will use the bags to dampen the horse's eyes. I use separate bags in case one eye might have an infection and don't want to spread it to the other eye. I tend to use the pyramid bags too, just a bit...

tea bags are excellent for weepy eyes from the flies too!
