Teaso seamless ,gussetless shorts-ace for running in to -used em for Great North Run last year and not a chaffe in sight!!

Our fields are frozen rutty covered in snow & paths are sheet ice.We can exercise in the indoor but thats it.It wont last for ever & they cope once they get the message that they re not going out.My boy s got 3 calves in box next to him-it s like horsy telly-he stands watching them playing :-))

Mine s Brill-comes to me first job so that I can get off to work-always rings me when he leaves home so I can be ready.Shoes hardly ever come off(and we re in VERY muddy country)and only charges me £60 quid with road studs.Pony was a right pain to shoe when i first had it-had to put up with a...

Dont laugh but best boots I ve had for years came from Aldi!! Warm,waterproof,comfy and really good non slip soles-all for about 20quid-I ve had loads of good stuff from there-their running gear & thermal stuff is brill xxx

I Have 3 Kids(Teenagers),1 Welshie on DIY ,1 business(On its Knees),1 Dog(pretty ancient but demanding) no OH indoors(BIG advantage in this situation)-day starts bout 6 ish and ends bout 12 ish.If I get knackered I run/go to gym-sounds daft but energy breeds energy and it works for me!!:-) xx

I use a vulcanite pelham (with 2 reins) and grackle on my sec D -he can be very opinionated-in any situation where he s likely to get above himself!! I know some people will say more schooling is the answer but those who know "quirky" D s will know that sometimes you need a little extra help...

Ha Ha i used feel guilty in case my welsh D got cold-coz he take his rugs off all by himself-on they d go,fastened locked bloody glued on -come back 4 hours later and the bugger would have em off AND ,with stable rugs trample them good and proper into the dirty bit of his bed.Turnout rugs were...

Ugh ! not my type at all(even if i was 20yrs younger!!)-think farriers need a kind of rugged charm myself(and a good ar*e) lol

Maybe its a Sec d thing! we ride through a farm that has loads of donkeys and my boy is terrified-he goes rigid & shakes & hides behind his friend-and he s been going through for 6 years!! Said pony lives on a working farm with cattle on the yard(Literally)-and gets turned out with cows...

Stop -itch(thats what its actually called) cream-my welshie used to rub his mate completely off before i discovered it-works a treat!!

Pilates is Fab-if you don t want to go to a class there s a channel on Sky(next to Horse and Country TV 281 I think)that has loads of programmes on Core stuff-I Sky + them(Sad,I know!!)

My lad had 2 when I bought him as a 5yo-one over his eye!Both dropped off without treatment.He was a bit of a rescue case-was very difficult & had been re homed several times etc-deffo think sarcoids are stress related.He s nearly 12 now-never had any recurrance -there s no scarring on his face...

We re in the wet,(very)warm NW-grass has not stopped growing and several horses not previously prone to Lami have developed it-does anyone know if there s a specific connection/are the sugars in the grass different when it grows at the "wrong "time-or is it sheer coincidence? Ive been wondering...

Best advice i can give is listen to your body-I was riding again within a week with all 3 of mine-but then I was lucky with no birth complications-even a demanding baby can be left for an hour or two-a good support bra and pads are a must though!!xx

My Welshie has been barefoot last 2 winters-We re in the NW of England & had heavy snow last 2 yrs-if he s barefoot I can ride in soft snow/turnout without feet balling.Never come to any harm & not footsore but he has got good feet(touch wood)xx
