Which goes to show how different we all are, i tried miscanthus and it just made me cough whilst mucking it out. Didnt get on with it at all

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...

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.

I would appreciate her details also

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...

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...

Ask him if Ginger line dances as you would pay premium price for a horse that line dances? wouldnt we all 😆

My old mare (24 yrs old) was found to have a neurological issue that meant she couldnt walk in a straight line and was very curved round to the left. Vet spoke to Oakham who recommended anti inflams and steriods and a months box rest. She could never be ridden again. At the end of 4 weeks she...

Banana skin is supposed to be good for darkening leather, not sure how true that is though

Usually about 8 hours but it depends on what is happening work wise and weekend routine. Of the 2 oldies at home, one i out from 5am-5pm and the other is then in. but once the field dries about the littler of the 2 will be out 24/7 again as he wont be sharing the yard

I used 5 last time i used shavings but have now switched to caviera bedding as i found it cheaper. It isnt as 'open' as a shavings bed but i find it easier to work with and doesnt stick in his tail like shavings and the muck heap is smaller.

Please tell me that is being held in Lincolnshire? (Fingers crossed emoji) I joined BD as i got fed up of the same riders doing the ua classes and always winning, it was like no one else stood a chance as they never moved up a level, which i know is their choice. I do agree, the BD classes...

I put sharp sand on mine which all fell through the gaps but did help bed it all down. I then put spent bedding (wood pellets and miscanthus) on it and last winter we put the wood chippings from a couple of felled trees on it. Both worked really well. both of my ponies are unshod but when Albert...

I heard each mile is equivalent to a minute of exercise but i could be wrong. Not quite sure of the truth or whether its just a 'thing'
