Hi. I have a round pen/arena. Mine is 20 metres diameter and plenty big enough to lunge. Its large enough to ride in as well.

Crikey, this post could have easily been written by me! I'm a couple of years older, but this year particularly the winter chores and maintenance seem to be much harder. I read your post to my OH and he commented that your dad is likely to be around 70 and so perhaps he is finding it hard...

'Expands' when wet ! :)

When I first introduced it to my horses diet I strarted with a small amount and gradually increased it to the required amount. Mine weren't that keen to begin with but now eat it fine.

Fiona Phillips (Downhead Cranmore) Can highly recommend.
