As the title suggests really! I feed hay, because it works out a lot cheaper to buy in a round bale for £25, which will last for about 8 weeks, than to pay the YO £15 per week for unlimited haylage or buy it in bags for £6 each which only last about 3 or 4 days. My questions is though, what...

I don't know if this will work: http://www.stopthathorse.com/buckstop/buckstop.htm I didn't when I tried! If not, type in stop that horse and buck stop into Google and it will bring it up.

I think horses like that are one in a million. I met my one in a million horse about 3 years ago, and had her on loan for one blissfully happy year when she did nothing but shine like the star she was every day. She was my reason for getting up in the mornings, she really was. Unfortunately, she...

Has anyone seen these advertised, and has anyone used them. Do you think they would work? I think they would make my horse really mad!

I pay £22.50 per month for: stable, unlimited summer and winter turnout, unlimited use of massive indoor school, massive outdoor which we can hire, full set of showjumps in each arena, fillers, brushes etc Individual lockable tack room Hay and bedding storage areas. We can also buy shavings...

I agree that it can get dusty in the summer because of it drying out so well. I invested in a watering can last year and used to sprinkle it with water quickly every couple of days after I mucked out and then there was no dust. Pretty impressive though that bedding can be so absorbant that it...

Ha ha ha!! LOL! Every flippin' time I get on! You're certainly not alone. Just keep smiling, that's what I do at the minute! Far better to laugh than cry. )

Have you looked at Aquamax at all? I use it for my boy. He is downright disgusting in the stable, very wet, and enjoys stirring in the poo until is turns to tiny shreds! Anyway, I went on to Aquamax last year and I would never go back. It's absolutely fantastic, so easy to muck out, doesn't get...

It'll definately be a food allergy I expect. My old TB had the same problem. I would take your horse off of all feed, maybe just feed something very simple like readigrass to keep ticking over. Once all the lumps are gone, start reintroducing the feed types one by one, with a good 3-4 day break...

My friend lives just outside Gloucester. She is having her current barn taken down next week and a new one put up with stables. She was going to have to pay someone £1500 to take it away, if you wanted it and were happy to come and take it down quickly and take it away, she might let you have it...

[ QUOTE ] another definitely PTS, in fact I would not sell any of the ponies on even if they were 100%. If it comes to where I cannot keep them, and cannot find loan homes where I can keep an eye on them, then they will be PTS rather than sell on to an uncertain future. I have had them from...

I think she is sellable, but not loanable. If your friend loans her out, she will just keep coming back (here speaks the voice of experience with my old horse!). I think, if she went to the right person who just wanted to hack and do some dressage then she would be fine. I don't think she would...

He's not having any hard feed! He's too much of a monkey at the minute! I have just been and got him some Magic at lunchtime, so will start giving him that with a minute handful of chaff tonight. Am also going to get his saddle checked. I texted his old owner at lunchtime, and she said that she...

Stroud saddlery are good, as are Colne saddlery. I think there is a saddlery out in Newent though that came highly recommended to me, can't for the life of me think what they were called now. I'm useful aren't I?! Could have been Kington actually?? Google it. As regards whether a wide fitting...

If I were you, I would get in touch with a vet to have a look at it. My friend's horse came in from the field the other day sound as a pound, within a few hours his knee had puffed right up and it turned out that he had been kicked or something and the joint fluid from his knee had started to...
