    Riding mare with foal at foot?

    Maybe op was back riding after two weeks. Her choice to ride, but then she is not a horse, who is not only nursing a young foal , but also expected to carry a rider. I have bred several foals over many years, let them do one job at a time. After all, even humans have a right maternity leave !.

    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..........

    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 !
