    Speedibeet vs Fast Fibre

    I have fed speedi Beet for years, and never had a horse not clean the bowl out. Of course, like people, they are all different. I personally wouldn't change unless it no longer suited the horse needs, not because it was the latest thing .All the best. :)

    Friends that don't agree with owning pets

    You sound like a very nice tolerant lady. Far more than I could ever be. The old adage, people like people like themselves has some truth. If they don't like your views, or animals, well..........

    Economical feeds

    I recently changed to Mole Valley, the savings are considerable.£5.00 on a bag of hi fibre nuts, and almost £3.00 on their hi fibre light chaff. My old mare and pony companion not only love it, but also look very well too. I still feed my usual anti lam balancer.

    Farrier prices??

    I'm in Devon. Mine are retired, so trims only @ £25.00 (went from £20.00) two years ago. I book the next visit before he leaves, he will message a time the day before. Always on time, and 100% reliable. Worth every penny !

    What if I have to call a vet for someone else's horse?

    Perhaps you could ask your farrier to look at the horse ?. Always a good place to start if the cause isn't obvious ( imo) . Poor horse, thank you for your concern.
