How awful for her. What was the land used for before she had it?

Love Ideal. I’m now back to a very old Ideal after selling my lovely Ideal after horse changed shape and I decided to buy him a brand new all singing and dancing Kent and Masters. Bad decision. I persevered for over a year with it, I think I even posted on here about it. I found it very...

I have these they are fantastic for the price, nice and warm but not too bulky to work with. Also good for riding too. https://harryhall.com/harry-hall-thermal-glove-navy-blue/

Is anyone else fed up with the weather? It's too icy for us to get out, some can get out but I'm worried about the hard ground for my EMS guy. We have been snowed on the last few days and it's now turned to ice. He has been out in it briefly at the start of the week but I'm convinced he's not...

I had a weekend away at a BHS Camp and asked if I could soak hay if I supplied my own tubtrug and disposed of the water responsibly as my horse was EMS laminitic so didn't want to risk their hay/haylage. They were absolutely fine with it, I used the space by my trailer for soaking in the bucket...

1 week on and they are definitely improving. I used the Snowfire religiously at the start of the week and used 2 pairs of socks to go to the yard. Any other time I go out I've worn my UGGs so that there's no reason for them to get cold. I've also started back again on my Vitamin D. I think the...

As said above, the more main stream brands- Horsehage High Fibre, Horsehage Timothy, Country Haylage High Fibre Meadow Mix, Silvermoor Lite, Silvermoor Timothy. Depending on where in the country you are there could be some other brands, you need them to be under 10% sugar & starch combined. We...

Thanks everyone. I think stupidly my problem stems from putting on cold boots at the yard. I keep my country boots at the yard so that they’re not in my car or house. It’s like putting my feet in to ice blocks! The feet warmers sound like the way forward, I have the hand warmers but hadn’t heard...

Ahh I’m allergic to Deep Heat 🫣 can’t use that at all. I’ve got the Snowfire, tried that overnight and it was pretty good, no itchiness through the night. Heat holder socks are good but as you say just so thick so I can only wear them in the house otherwise I can’t get my boots on without crushing.

Interesting! I have Snowfire which I use for hax- you know the horrible deep cuts you can get on your fingers. I’m sure it’s snowfire…

These have reared their ugly head now that the temperature has dropped. Every Winter without fail I get chilblains on some of my toes, not all of them, mainly always the little outer ones and sometimes on the 2nd from the outside or the middle one. I have Raynauds in my feet, thankfully not in...

It sounds like the teenager has maybe discovered that she could sell the pony and be quids in for something else ££. I agree with the others, offer to buy him if you can.

I’m obviously too rough. I can keep glue ons for just under 1 week, but need to wear gloves all the time for doing the horses. Then I get bored and start trying to get them off 🫣. I’ve done the dip ones before and they lasted around the same and then started chipping. As soon as they chip or...

I have an ifor williams 403, built and delivered brand new to me in 2014. The one listed in the file says launched 2008 which is the year I think they brought out the new style. Which specific production/build date does it include?

Mine has been fine for the last fortnight or so. It could be as we have moved to a smaller field and I’ve removed his muzzle in the last week- coincides with my thoughts on the cause being the restriction of food entering the gut, or it could be the Aviform. I think perhaps a bit of both, I...
