I came down with flu/fever Christmas day, i carried on doing my horse till i couldnt get out of bed then my mum done him for me and visa versa if mum was ill i will do her horse. But when my mum had a livery yard i had to take annual leave to run the yard when she ended up in hospital after a...

Thanks everyone. Will look for a more feral cat. We have dogs and they keep them away but its at night our biggest problem in the hay barn.

We have a problem with rats and mice on our yard. Dont want to put poison down as have dogs. Someone suggested we get a yard cat. Does anyone have a yard cat? How do you keep them? Do they keep the mice and rats at bay? Dont want to get a cat as a big responsibility of another animal.

I dont have mine at home but would love to one day but moved my two to a private house and its bliss just having my two there and no other people as you said you can do what you want when you want and somedays you do things one way and tomorrow you could do them a different way.

My boy is getting on a bit not ready to retire but works cutting down. I've had him 11years and couldn't imagine my life without him. I have often thought i couldnt replace him and i am in a stage of my life where i want my own home and need as much spare money as i can get. But my sister has a...

forgot to mention all checks been done. She is fine jumping and not had a flat lesson as been working on jumping. Tried her in a eggbutt tonight with not much change. She chews the bit, and hangs. She finds flat work hard and is always evading. Have a flat lesson booked end of the week.

My mate is in a loose ring French link snaffle, cavasson nose band, a flash makes no difference. She is constantly chewing/mouthing the bit and fighting against me. Any help appreciated

So sorry to gate crash. My horse is showing signs this year and but he does have dust allergies so was interested in replies. What are good rugs? As have him in a fly rugs but think I need a si rug. What are best fly repellents?

I posted the other day about sweet itch as my horse is rubbing his tail raw. He has allergies dust mites and believe it's the dust mites causing him to be so itchy not sweet itch. Has anyone experienced dust mite allergies? As managing mites and si different and it's just getting worse I am...

Have wormed him for pin worm, would one dose be enough to cure?

Thank you for replies. He is only rubbing his tail nowhere else. He has a fly rug on but need to order a si rug. I just don't know how to treat and stop him scratching all the time. His allergies are dust mites so the opposite of si he is better living out.

Thank you i plan to keep him sprayed and a fly rug

My horse was diagnosed a few years ago, he was injected. But I found they have fused over time. Management is so important, my boy is ridden most days and would rather do something little most days than hard work not as often. I can't trot my boy on the road or hard ground at all. Lots of turn...

I've not seen many around, i've got him in a fly rug in and out of his stable to see if this helps. Going to spring clean his stable and put fresh bedding down as this is what flares up his allergies. He is only rubbing it in the stable but is fine out in the field.
