    Clippers or trimmers

    I just bought some of these and I am so impressed. I originally bought them just to do the head/around ears as my boy needs sleepy juice for that part. Mine came with the wide blade (2.4mm cut) and they were so easy I carried on and have done the whole body now. Just ordering a second set of...

    Skin bumps and Releve mix / Alfa A

    Thanks. The protein level in the mix is the same as the cubes he was fine with.... Hence wondering about the ingredients.

    Skin bumps and Releve mix / Alfa A

    I recently changed feed to Releve mix with a touch of Alfa A. My horse has come out in what I thought were heat bumps (he has history of these as he is a very hot horse). Small lumps which scab after a few days. I'll be calling Saracen's tomorrow but has anyone had a similar experience? He...

    Mud fever

    With aromaheel you plaster it on for several days in layers and turn out as normal. The scabs soften under it and you just wipe it off after about 3 days. Then repeat. You'll get lovely pink skin and some hair regrowth. I have converted my whole yard to it ! No pain from picking scabs and...

    Mud fever

    Aromaheel by Aromesse is amazing for mud fever (even while you diagnose any other issues). Really soothing and easy to use so no picking of scabs required.

    Best noise cancelling ear bonnets (for clipping)

    Apologies if this has been done many times before, but does anyone have a personal recommendation for a noise cancelling ear bonnet that they have actually used. My horse is perfect to clip until you get within about 12 inches of his ears. I can also do his cheeks for a half head but can't...

    Abscess healing

    Agree with highmileagecob, pack it with something from Red Horse, although I'd recommend Hoof Stuff as that is for deep holes and cracks. Red Horse products are amazing.

    Safety stirrups

    Acavallo AluPro gets another vote here. I am old(ish) and have a metal ankle and my knees aren't great. So they do 2 jobs, they open easily if you fall and they give great support so are really comfortable. I tried Freejumps - hated them

    Drying cow parsley - does anyone do this?

    My horse goes mad for cow parsley. I pick armfuls of the stuff but obviously it goes limp quite quickly and the season doesn't last long. Has anyone tried and had success drying it so you can feed it at a later time?

    Physio?

    My horse has a sports massage monthly and then proper physio every 3 months. I feel they complement each other.
