    Yard Rental-Landlord access quiery

    The balaclavas are quite normal. Firstly they keep your face and ears warm, secondly they reduce the visibility considerably. A white face in the darkness stands out against the dark clothing, a dark balaclava hides it and makes getting close to the target easier.

    Former owner trying to trace pony I had PTS - Wwyd?

    After seeing some of the fall out when new and old owners meet or correspond I'd get a friend to message her to tell her that he was much loved, a brief outline of what you did with him, that he is now pts and that the friend was authorised to pass this information on for her peace of mind.

    Increase in laminitis?

    I just saw someone outline the "hard work" routine her horse was on as two x forty minute hacks, two x thirty minute schooling sessions and one x twenty minute jumping session. I asked how many days a week she did that, to be told that was per week, not per day. She was asking whether to use...

    never seen it this way round

    That's precisely what I did. my big deck mower won't fit through the shed door so rather than spending to have the shed modified or buy a new shed I bought a cheap pony trailer. Now I have a machinery shed the mower lives in the pony trailer holds a supply of hay for the outlying field.

    Biggest horse you would put in a HB403.

    I've no idea whether the sizes are the same but assume they're not wildly different. I had my 16.3hh, 6'9 rug bum high Shire X mare in a 401 several times. She didn't have to do long journeys (no more than 40 minutes) and she is a very good and sensible traveller. There were no issues, and in...

    Excellent news, it would make everyone's life so much easier if she'd be transparent about how long things are likely to take.

    Weird behaviour in the field

    What is she cribbing on? Are there power cables nearby or could the field be in range of recently installed wi-fi?

    horse passport no name BD register have I read this right?

    I'm not sure the PIOs are bothered about duplicate names. I have a pony passported under the name of Charlie and I'd be highly surprised if he was the only one.
