    Saddle care

    I like oakwood leather conditioner. Easy to use, does a great job and smells nice. I have a tub of cremdementhe’s conditioner but I’m afraid I find it too fiddly to use…I’m usually in a rush and don’t have time to try to warm it and rub it well in.

    do your horse’s have stockings/presents?

    My girl used to get a swede on a string to play with, but now she’s older I worry a bit about her teeth (she would demolish it in 5 minutes flat) So mine will get their own bag of carrots to share.

    Just a strange oddity!

    So he's allergic to midge saliva, and you're allergic to horse saliva. I wonder what's allergic to your saliva... edit - I suggest you don't go round licking people to find out!

    Vet requesting payment in advance?!

    Out of interest were the routine activities paid late as an absolute number or as a proportion of the total number of routine activities performed? By which I mean I would expect you to have more late paid routine activities because they are….routine. I would expect that you perform far more...

    Want a break from horses

    I think retirement livery might be a good idea, you can have your time back and he can chill with mates. It probably won’t save you any money, but you will at least get the break you want. You could look for a loan home, but there’s always the risk he might come back at a months notice. If you...

    No hay!

    Luckily for me grass nuts are a ‘nice to have’. They have speedibeet and some grass nuts. Hopefully the speedibeet won’t have any supply issues but they are not on any special diets so if push comes to shove I could switch them to something totally different.

    No hay!

    In the middle of summer someone (professional) posted about hay shortages and suggested supplementing with grass nuts. I pointed out at the time that if there’s no grass to make hay then we are likely to also have an issue with the supply of grass nuts. Which reminds me, I need to buy a bag today.

    Charles Owen to cease UK Production

    The question was are they stopping manufacture of non-dial hats. I’m on my 2nd CO MIPS jockey skull. It fits me and I’m likely to want to replace like with like in the future.

    Unsolicited Advice

    I got a good one while walking my pony a few years back: “it’ll be you carrying her next!” I thought that was quite a good one to be fair.
