    What do people think of Bowen equine massage?

    I think it is great - i was a little unsure at first as i couldnt get my head around how such small movements could have such a big effect on horses. My boys all love it... They visit 'Planet Bowen' really relaxed (almost look sedated - head down, lips floppy). Its very gentle and i have seen...

    Shwmae Products Ltd

    Im the same - usually patient and dont like to nag / complain but with them i really did get annoyed!! I used them as a friend did and said they were really good (she must be very lucky to have got her items). I just think it is so wrong how as horse owners we are trying to spoil our horses...

    Trailer Test or 3.5t Horse Box? Can't decide - help!

    Personally id go with 3.5T lorry. Best thing we ever did was sell 4x4 and trailer. It is so lovely to drive and horses travel amazingly in lorry! I had to rely on mum to tow me everywhere before we got the lorry. Manovuring is so much easier with lorry and it is all neat and tidy inside with...

My old boy (magic) who ive had for nearly 10 years was really clingy and cuddly (more than normal) he would follow me and not...
