    Settling new horse

    Happy New Horse Day!! How exciting!! I've never worried about changing forage from one yard to the other and none of mine have suffered any ill effects, just provide more than they could eat to ensure they eat as much as they need for as that will help keep tummies settled

    What brand clothing survived todays rain?

    My primark dryrobe - £45 = MASSIVE tick! My Equidry - £££ = tick Mountain Warehouse Isodry waterproof trousers & coat = ££ = Big tick The above are all super waterproof but of varying prices, I honestly can't believe how waterproof the Primark dry robe is, it's on it's second winter and used...

    How to make myself more appealing as a part loaner

    There was a lovely looking horse called Yogi being advertised for share and i know the lady was struggling to find someone. I presume you’re on South Tyneside riders on FB? Search for Yogi

    How to make myself more appealing as a part loaner

    If I was loaning my horse and he wasn't a highly strung Arab and a more sensible sort, I may advertise no novices as I wouldn't want joy riding teens who just want to rag them around. I would be much more open to a grown adult who maybe isn't owner standard but is ultimately sensible and trust...

    Being nosey Pammy Hutton kerfuffle

    I recently attended one of her courses and was very concerned as we have vastly differing views on the world but she remained professional, but i agree her FB posts are mental and unfortunately rarely centre around horses

    Horses being removed,large welfare case

    Totally agree, i also know someone who works full time in the equine rehabilitation side, i asked her why they get such a bad rep and why they often seem to not be doing anything. She said in a lot of situations their hands are tied as the abusers are often undesirable types who will threaten...

    High paying flexible jobs

    It is the least micro managed i have ever been in a role. We do it so if you have a question you can just chat as you would in an offIce rather than using some kind of messenger app. Many companies say wfh stops collaboration which is not true in our case as we’re essentially in an office but...

    High paying flexible jobs

    So we all meet at 9am in the main office, we have our cameras on, it’s just on Zoom, we discuss anything that needs to be discussed then get on with our day. If you want quiet time you go into a meeting room, likewise if you’re in meetings with colleagues. We’re expected to stay online until we...

    High paying flexible jobs

    I don’t know how virtual offices haven’t taken off! I WFH full time but I’m in the virtual office all day along with my colleagues, it scares people at first but it is brilliant!! We work collaboratively, we have break out rooms where we can have separate meetings or quiet time, if we’re just...

    Moving on from the perfect horse

    One person’s dream, perfect horse is another’s nightmare, what I mean by that is I wouldn’t pay £500 for a hairy cob that was bombproof as i’d die of boredom but to some, that horse is their dream and they would pay £’s. My previous TB passed and like you I thought i would never find another...

    Can you layer up with 2 rug liners under turnout?

    I found it was too bulky with a 100 and 200 liner so just bought the 300 too

    Pallet delivery companies that work for ‘typical’ yards?

    The cost of non commercial deliveries is just too cost prohibitive for most people. My partner has a small haulage company and ran a 3.5t curtainsider but a lot of people wanted it at a price that a profit was un achievable so he moved the van on eventually and just does commercial again

    Sharing a dog?

    We do something similar. I acquired my dog when the glitter of a new dog wore off for my partner’s teenage son (yes I warned them and said I wouldn’t look after it 🙄) I had moved back to my house, my dog has terrible SA so couldn’t be left, my wonderful family have really stepped up and help...

    Costs of running a 3.5 t horsebox

    Priceless, obviously not really, but I’ve had a. 3.5t for approximately 7 years and i love the freedom it gives me. I have a small economical cheap runaround car so i can ‘justify’ it to myself, not that i feel i need to anymore as i use it regularly

    Actually waterproof rug brands 50/100g

    Don’t get a weatherbeeta! I got the comfitec dynamic (not a cheap model!!!) and it leaked as did the 2 replacements! I was furious I bit the bullet and went for a rambo (hope valley or houghton country have them on offer) i am now a rambo convert, my horse is warm and dry in his 50g despite...
