    Car seat for tiny dog

    Thank you, that makes sense actually, didn't think of that. I just thought it'd be nice if he wasn't "locked up" in a box and could look out of the seat.

    Car seat for tiny dog

    Hi All I've finally decided to have a Chihuahua and I'm so excited! Going to see one this weekend and I can't wait. It's going to be an adult one so hopefully not too bad with things. I'm just starting to look into things I need to get for the dog, right on top of the list is the transport...

    Anyone else's horse more spooky in the wind?

    Mine's more spooky in the wind, yes. He sees monsters everywhere anyway and the wind seems to enhance this. Rode him last night and he was very edgy! Also the gardeners planted a tree that was different to the dead one that was there before - also spooky!

    How to soften new leather bridle?

    Thank you, I’ll have a read! My issue is that the wide nose band won’t sit properly as it’s too stiff and obviously I don’t want to cause him any discomfort.

    How to soften new leather bridle?

    I've got a beautiful new hunter bridle for my boy, it comes with a wide nose band. Until today I thought I knew what I was doing, which is plaster it in neetsfoot oil - but I've now been told by several people that neetsfoot oil isn't great at all. I've been recommended Effax and Hydrophene...

    Hay doesn't get eaten

    Probably a very stupid question but my horses, who live out 24/7 seem to not eat their hay once it's been in the field for a while. It's perfectly fine hay, but they seem to prefer the fresh one I give them. Like there's hay out from the beginning of the week which looks fine - but they...

    Ordering from RideAway?

    They're brilliant I think. Had two bigger items last year that were delivered with Hermes (who I despise), everything else gets delivered via DHL which are great. My orders usually arrive within a few days, never had any issues with them.

    New Horse - "not as described on the tin" !

    Could it have to do with a change in feed? Are you feeding her? My boy calmed down when I started adding salt to his feed.

    What breed to get?

    Hey, just wanted to give you all an updated, we've decided on a breed. We're going to get a Japanese Spitz. We've met with a breeder at the weekend and are totally in love with these beautiful creatures. It'll take a while until we get it as there's a wait list but that's ok, that gives us...

    getting over a really bad lesson

    Had so many of those lessons I stopped counting. Horse and I really weren't suited for each other, she needed someone confident who knew what they were doing and I needed a horse I could trust. I've tried for several years to make it work (in hindsight way too long but I loved the horse very...

    How much can a Welsh cob carry?

    Haha, his made me laugh! My boy made it very clear that he didn't want to be ridden by my OH. OH's a bit on the heavy side but a good rider and more muscle than fat. Hugo first threw some quite impressive bucks and when that didn't work broke into canter, stopped mid canter and stuck his head...

    Bonfire weekend, in or out?

    Ours will stay out as well, they live out 24/7 and wouldn't understand why they're suddenly stabled. They sort of got used to the idea of fireworks over the past few weeks though as people around us have been having them almost every evening now. I'm hoping our direct neighbours won't have any...

    Omg, this is so horrible, how can anyone dump animals like this!!! They were very lucky that you found them!

    What breed to get?

    Oh, hadn't even thought about the dog walker - that's a great idea. It would also be on the two days our cleaner will come, so he'd have human company for two hours. If I organize a dog walker for another hour on these days this could really work! Thank you!!! Also thank you for your comment...
