I vote for the radio & calmers as well. (I use Betamag from the vet)
Mine has been on box rest for 4 months now & knows what on radio 2 better than the BBC now!
Also make sure there is a bottle of wine at home for those days when it seems like it will never end!
Sorry ours has been usable everyday this winter, its big chunks of rubber & the drainage is good & we have had very little snow.
I do feel for those who are snowed & frozen in used to live in Scotland having to go weeks with no riding or turnout. I remeber trying to school round 3'...
I have a skewbald done on the side just behind the saddle flap & it has never been a problem showing from the local shows up to HOYS & RIHS quanlifies.
Get on the phone!
I had an excusion put on mine ... anything attached to the spine (all for a pulled muscle)! I contacted them and asked if they were kidding 'no' was the first response but as I pointed out they had exculed the whole horse they had a re-think. I had to get my vet to sent them...
I have managed to forget my jacket 2 weeks running then my dressgae girth the next time out!! I was so unpopular as I sent Mum back for my jacket!
I do remeber somebody leaving the yard without the pony in the trailer before so I am not that bad.
