Thankyou :-)

Anybody on here that knows the ins and outs of showing mini shetlands? Do they need to be registered with anybody? Even for local shows? Are they shown in bridles or headcollars? Hoping to just have some fun but any tips or info much appreciated :-)

Thankyou, I have a great farrier, who even got my flat footed TB barefoot, and he did say that the heartbars are a means to an end. Sadly it was a barefoot trimmer that made such a mess of his feet. Having never dealt with a dropped pedal bone before other peoples experiences are good to hear

Got to set up two new stables and have two very mucky, poo digging, rolling nags who have made shavings a nightmare. Just wondered about these two products for a slightly easier life. Has anybody tried these? And which do you prefer? :-)

Thankyou everybody :-) stupidly I thought sheep would be an easy option, how wrong was I :-) Will have to have a re-think
