I swopped to Carviera bedding and use their Raviera bedding. Chopped rape straw with a biterant added to stop eating so smells like lavender. Was slightly scepticle but i love it. https://www.cavierabedding.co.uk/caviera_products/raviera/

I am a grumpy arse when i dont have a horse in my life. Even the bad times (and am going through one at the moment) doesnt put me off. I dread to think how much my poor husband is going to suffer when i can no longer ride or have a horse!

We have a mare who will walk straight over the electric fence whilst you are moving it, even if its trapped round her legs, she just keeps walking. I know this as its happened to me numerous times. A big one who used to like to pull the posts out by the tops with his teeth and a little one who...

1 in at night as shes an veteran (33) and has a rug on as well. The truffle pig is still out with his fly rug on and will remain so all winter (minus fly rug). Has access to a stable but wont use it. The big man is in at night now. We are on clay so the rain of the last few hours has caused...

Gorgeous boy and he has such a lovely eye. You will have alot of fun with him x

I have a little pony who has substantial scaring from sweet itch and is in a rug and fly mask from early March to whenever i dont see him itching or flicking his tail, stamping his feet at the vampire flies. He has a handful of grass pellets, brewers yeast, 6 piriton (on the recommendation of...

they look good, what make are they? I could do with something like that ETA that i have found the other post now

Happy to help as have been in that situation myself this year. I ended up reading adds from the bottom upwards, saved a lot of time!

Our old mare has similar scars and can be prone to mud fever as we are on clay. The only thing i found to work was Flowers of Sulphur powder rubbed in daily before being turned out. as long as she has that she doesnt seem to suffer anymore.

I have been called a time waster for asking questions that had been put on the advert. I get that when you advertise anything you put enough on the advert to tempt buyer, however when it comes to horses i get a good/bad feeling from the answers to my questions and whether the seller is prepared...

I had something similar with a guy crouching down in a field calming his 3 dogs who were just wagging their tails. Would Albert go past, absolutely not! Once i called to the guy to stand up, Albert shrugged his shoulders and walked past as if to say, Ahhhh, it was a human'! Had to explain to...

Just seen on FB: Hi, not sure if this is a thing but looking for a freelance rider that maybe has their own lorry that could take my youngster out and about to get used to travelling and also new arenas??! I could understand, ‘Anyone happy to let me tag along, I will pay my way/horse is good...

I suppose it depends where you are. Thats about standard for a full set round here, hot shod as well

Agree with this and other answers. She seems to be having 2nd thoughts or genuinely deciding its not going to work and looking for ways to get out of it without actually saying it! I have been both the loaner and the loanee and always had it down in black and white what was expected from both...
