Thank you all so much for your advice. I will definitely be looking for a local feed merchant - hadn't even considered that before - doh! I will also look at Bliss bedding. Unfortunately our horse cant have a straw bed as the last owner said he eats the stuff, shame because the other horses on...

Almost finished our pallet of wood chips and think we want to try a shavings bed, only had our horse for 10 months so dont have much experience with brands and would appreciate any advice on quality, good value and which company to buy from. thank you:D

we bought a horse in May with sarcoids and they haven't given us any trouble - no changes in appearance and they dont bother him/us any. However, a word of caution, there was some scare mongering at our yard and thankfully due to the yard owner being very reasonable we got the problem solved by...

Got our lovely boy in May and my daughter would love to ride him christmas day in all his new finery on her christmas wish list but I have heard that our yard closes down on christmas day and that the yard owners give the horses hay as no one is allowed in. Bit sad but I guess everyone needs a...

I recently bought a horse with sarcoids (i didnt know he had them when I bought him) had him vet checked and vet advised that the seller should have knocked £1000 off asking price to cover any future treatment. still wouldnt swap him for the world but wish I had been told of the condition first...

still waiting to hear back from the livery owners to see if i can have a palet delivered there, but will defo use your code as have already checked out the website - cheers

got the website thanks, just waiting to ask livery owners if we can have a pallet delivered to their yard

I was swaying towards the wood pellets and after the comments I think that is what we will go for, thanks

I look at the other horses stables with straw bedding and they look so much better, just wish ours looked so cosy. We did put a fair bit down to start with but have to pretty much take most of it out every day - he's a really messy boy!

I had planned on buying bulk anyway so will have a look on the internet, thank you

will have a look at the website, thanks

maybe stovies are wood pellets, they have been described as like cat litter as it expands when moistened and soaks up the wet.

Hi, we are fairly new horse owners and am hoping for some advice on bedding for our gelding. When we bought him we were told that he eats straw if bedded on it and to use shavings instead. We have been doing this but it looks uncomfortable and he is very messy during the night and wets all over...

thank you for the listing the web sites and being so understanding, been with the horse all afternoon and about to have a look on the internet now.

Of course the horse comes first!! my daughter loves him and we have every intention of doing everything we can to ensure he has a happy, long life with us. I may have been an idiot for not having him vetted or taking someone more experienced with me but that doesn't mean that I am heartless. He...
