    Need to re-fence my paddock - advice needed please

    We did our a few years ago with 4 inch round posts and 12 foot 1/2 rails from Phillips in Horncastle (not too far from you i dont think SC). They also did free delivery so might be worth having a look at their website. It took us quite a while as there was only me, OH and my daughter, but we...

    Field management

    As others have said, mud control mats on top of the mud works. I would also recommend joining 'Land Management for horse with Dr Lisa Schofield UK' on FB if you have FB. A wealth of very useful information from knowledgeable people with tried and tested methods, including the science behind it

    I would imagine they might not want to wait for a youngster to mature or be able to do all that they want (me with a cynical head on)

    As i said, I am no expert, but if I was going to advertise a 7 month old colt as 'good conformation, good head and legs, powerful mover' I would have found some better photographs of him. He just doesnt look a happy foal :(

    Do Building Societies/Lenders not look at where the deposit came from? I know i had to explain and show evidence of my saving for the deposit when i bought my first house and am sure that we did something similar when we bought our current house

    Those who trailer alone

    I go out mostly on my own to comps, shows, pleasure rides and bought a locakble small 'cabinet' from Screwfix. I can leave everything locked away in the lorry and put the keys in there to be safe. I do put the code onto the details in an envelope if competing or training so that someone knows...

    Scented Shavings

    I have the lavendar Raviera bedding as i was concerned that it would be eaten by the truffle pig pony we have and the lavender is a bitterant. It does smell a couple of days later still but its not over whelming scent wise. I now prefer it to normal bedding.

    Buying a horse

    Totally agree with everything said above. If not already on FB, join and check out the dodgy dealer sites. You will be amazed how may 'genuine sellers' are actually dealers under a different name and how many horses are re-advertised. Google is definately your friend in these times. Ask for the...

    Have anyone elses horses lost the plot this last week?

    I usually have a sane and fairly sensible 9 yr old. The last couple of weeks have seen him having hoolies round the field and being rather spicey to bring in, resulting in lots of stopping and backing up to restore some discipine. The nipping is coming back as well, which is very difficult to...
