Ohhaitasha have you tried Matchington in Dunham Massey. New school, good hacking, good grazing and trustworthy full livery

Have you considered Matchington in Dunham Massey. It's a quiet yard. Decent turnout and a short trip down a country lane gets you onto the Transpennine trail. Farmer grows his own haylage and they do part/full if needed.

Pilates is fantastic for building core strength

Mines 4 and am hoping he fills out and grows a bit more as I've changed his rugs to PE ones and they are so deep that they're now too big. Eeek!

Fab post. Would love to see more

That made my day

I've used Myhorsebox rental and found a lovely couple renting out their 3.5 ton box which I've since rented again. I would highly recommend them but suppose it really depends on who you actually use

Thanks Tnavas :) Micky - he came up with lumps and bumps on his skin and after months of investigations we had him allergy tested. The dermatologist injected him with 65 needles on a pre-drawn graph on his skin and recorded the changes. I then got a report with her findings. There are some...

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm going to try him on Speedibeet with micronised linseed and brewers yeast and will add / take away where needed. May pop some mint in to help tempt him :)

Thanks for the replies, they are really appreciated :) I have dug the test results out again from the skin test and forgot that there are more relevant allergens. He also can't have oat or wheat. I have thought about making my own balancer or buying it in powder form but its going to be tricky...

Thanks Slinkyunicorn. I will have a look online now!

Hi all. I have a horse who is allergic to alfalfa and also reacts to soya, barley and molasses. He's 4 and is only on hay / grazing at the moment but would like him to have a more balanced diet. As yet I haven't found a balancer that does not contain these. Any ideas? Thanks :)

My boy shakes himself like a dog after a bath!

Mines a Welshie rather than a traditional cob but is the kindest, most gentle half ton beastie you'll find! He has a cheeky side too and often thinks he's an overgrown Labrador. Wouldn't change him for the world :)

Lovely!
