    Sleep well Blueberry & Uti

    I’m the same. I always thought my two would end up going together but my gelding has thrived for a further 3.5 years so far, and I think it’s good he gets to be my no 1 after a life of being slightly second to my mare. And I always worried if it would be awful for the one who went second. But...

    Sleep well Blueberry & Uti

    I don’t think so. Whatever my opinion of her, it was absolutely obvious that she adored him and he was the horse of her lifetime. And I can empathise having lost my own horse of a lifetime and know how much it hurt. And re them not being old, they were a good age for a sports house that had...

    Your horse’s Christmas name

    Sparkling Grinch. He doesn’t deserve that. He’s so easy going!

    Hay prices

    Ours has gone up from £40 to £50 because they’re having to travel further to source it. They’re hoping it will last the winter, but aren’t sure - they’ve never said that before.

    Do you have to pay for Pau tv? I thought it was free but they want 19 euros

    Cartrophen

    It worked superbly on my gelding’s pastern for four years, then seemed to lose its magic. It didn’t have much affect on my mare’s hocks.

    Boggle- USA bound!

    You met some absolutely fabulous people there who supported you through some tough times. I expect you will miss them. Plus Colorado is so breathtaking. I don’t think many states will compare for that fresh beauty.

    Boggle- USA bound!

    You pick all my favourite American places! Colorado, Arizona and now Northern California by San Fran. You’re always making me miss my flying days.

    Best (long lasting) yard broom

    I broke a gorilla broom within a week. My latest broom was a wide one from B&Q. Cheap as chips and it’s going into its third winter.

    No bute and joint supplements

    When my vet was last here I was telling her my oldie was getting intermittent lament and she said she’d seen great improvements with this supplement in many horses.

    Sending horse to retirement livery

    Yes of course there is. But we thought at the time that living out 24/7 might be better for his respiratory system. And we had a companion with lami that couldn’t be out much. So we’re looking at options. As it happens the track livery I was looking at doesn’t seem to like big horses! I...

    Sending horse to retirement livery

    It does sound lovely, and it would be à wonderful way for him to live. But I understand your hesitation. I considered it for our retired horse when he was looking like he had COPD. But he’s the sweetest, friendliest horse and has lived at our house for 18 years. It felt sad to be sending him...

    Footpath use?

    Lots of cyclists just rip the fences down around here. I’ve had pieces of wood left in the field where the horses are with nails sticking up and wire cut - because lifting bikes over spoils the ride. When I’ve caught people riding on the footpath they say bikes are allowed on footpaths and...
