    Lesson today with poles with my horse who was being a lazy toad and dragging himself over them. He had his head in his hands at one point. This is the horse who last time started bronzing the minute I got my foot in the stirrup. Ha

    Has anyone claimed a second injury on same limb? (Poppy update)

    Touchy ears

    Mine gets incredibly head shy this time of year. - due to the midges getting her ears. I know use a cream by equimins which stop them getting in & biting & she is much happier. Highly recommended the cream.
