Thanks I tried at sample from Blair. He wasn't kverly keen but did eat it. Nowhere locally sells the brand tho. He's currently on Fast Fibre and loves it

Thanks. I've just wasted 2hrs of my life looking up probiotics. I can guarantee the horrid horse won't be remotely grateful. I have bought a small tub of Protexin. It's not bank breaking. I've also just bought more ProHoof, Platinum this time (worked out the same price roughly, per day, as...

Thanks. Votes so far for Protinex. I just wondered, with BioPro being more than twice the price, if it's significantly better? Is there something in it, or about it, that makes it far superior. Thanks SEL. Thankfully mine isn't reactive to stress like that but he is very diet sensitive for his...

There's quite a few probiotics availible but I don't know enough about them to make an informed decision. My young ISH has always been barefoot and as a result I'm pretty clued up on supplements and feeding. He is currently on ProHoof. However he is one of those damn 'metabolic' horses...

Sorry! Thanks all. Sounds like it's the Supreme then. I've seen both at shows etc but was so horrified at the price that I dared not look at the actual rug :o Buying online isn't real money, right?

I'm about to invest in a new (horrendously expensive) rug and will be getting a Rambo. But which one?! The outer part of the Duo is 100g fill and a lightweight Supreme is zero fill, but it could easily be made into a 100g with a liner. They otherwise sound very similar? Is there a difference...

Horse still likes it. No 'looking at me funny' when doing the girth up. Everything that's borrowed it has been happy with it and it sat well on all horses.

Thanks. Do they a decent thick top coating so they won't rip/cut with metal shoes? That's probably the biggest consideration. They're far cheaper than most brands but still fairly expensive at £30 a mat. A lot of money to waste if they're rubbish.

Hi. I've only used heavy rubber mats before but about to buy a new set for going on livery. I like the idea of EVA mats as I will be using minimal bedding but not has much experience of them. I've found cheap 34mm interlocking ones on ebay, sold by Abacus, a rubber specialist in the...

It wasn't ;) The ring was quite small so it was basically just a normal trot up. Judge was lovely. Her first words 'wow, he's big'. Closely followed by 'he's still got lots of growing to do' . Shhhhh, I don't want to hear that! The last time I showed him inhand was as a (smaller) 2yr old...

It depends greatly on how mature they are, both physically and mentally. Some are ready to get out and see the world at 3yrs old. Some can't mentally cope until they're much older. Some are very immature and not even ready to sit on until they're 6, some are ready to do a bit of hacking at 3. If...

Don't underestimate how upsetting/ unsettling a move can be and how long it can take for them to feel happy. I moved my youngster to a new yard last summer to use the facilties. I've had him since a baby and know him inside out. He's an outgoing, confident, friendly, extremely happy clown who's...

Thanks! We could manage that. He's extremely well behaved inhand so calm trot won't be a problem. Is the triangle marked or do you just make it up out of the space available (bit like a showpiece). Presumably the steward will explain the plan. I'm just hoping it's not meant to be whites. Cos...

No, absolutely not. We are NOT having that tomorrow. Words like be had. I can't run fast enough as it is. Sports horse it is. Turn out hunter in hand will probably clash with the pony's class so problem solved. Now. What do I need to do for Sports Horse?! Is that not the silly on one where...

I have a big ISH with large feet, low heels and medial flare due to conformation. Oh, and he moves like an over excited warmblood. Almost all boots are too long and not wide enough. He over reaches EVERYTHING off. Renegades (which I did sell, sorry. Still got the 3W gloves kicking about...
