    A halter is any of those in Canada and the US 🙂

    Progressive Earth v. ForagePlus vit E

    I recently switched to PE as FP changed their formula a little while ago and PE seemed like a slightly better deal (also, the chocolate!). I have never found any difference other than the feed rate. Sounds like FP changed their formula again?

    Did we all manage to get to the yard today?

    -7° here tonight so not too bad. Horses havent gone out since Thurs and I really don't understand why. We got a bit of snow Thurs night which has stuck around. Yard is saying the track to bring the horses out is icy but it isnt...I have been up and down it several times with my horse in hoof...

    Looking for a very gentle metal bit for a horse with a short smile, small face, and quite a wide tongue

    I had mine in a loose ring verbindend which he backed off of but was small and light. I then switched to the american dee lite - it is quite a thin bit and while he generally went well and was happier to walk out, he was still backing off a lot. I have recently gone with a sprenger dynamic rs...

    Horses not eating much hay?

    I think we have as i noticed mine actually grazing yesterday. Normally he is just standing around (usually at the gate mid afternoon - he dislikes winter but needs the movement for the arthritis)

    Horses not eating much hay?

    My yard had a new shipment of hay and none of the horses - including mine who is a secret pig and eats everything - were eating it including the haylage. Yard must have told supplier to take it back and get new as it looks much better and mine is now gobbling it up. Hay seems to be hit and miss

    Horrible panicking when I feel out of control

    Wow I can relate to this. My horse has physical issues which when it is bothering him, can make him super spooky. His MO is take off including backwards. He has little to no regard for anything around him. He has dumped me a number of times or will throw in a random massive tantrum out of the...

    I quite like watching the dog agility. I love the combined sj and agility class at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. Horse jumps a course and then dog does agility and their scores are combined. You could have a fab sj round but the dog goes off-course or something! So you really really never...

    RS Dynamic Eggbutt vs D-Ring

    Yes I can get on trial. Only other thing I can think of is trying it in a full cheek?

    RS Dynamic Eggbutt vs D-Ring

    Need some collective HHO thoughts on this one. Been trialing the Sprenger RS Dynamic eggbutt on horse as he is a curler and needs something steady but soft in the mouth. I have generally been impressed with it - horse seems more relaxed and not ducking BTV nearly as much. We also haven't had...

    Did anyone’s horses NOT enjoy 24/7 turnout?

    Yes, mine. He wasn't sleeping and lost a lot of weight. Summer he seemed fine but it was a very, very different story once the weather started changing.

    I do not see lightness one bit either. Drive with seat and reem on the horse's face via uber long reins. Oh, and zero release over the jumps

    anyone know if it is on iPlayer? It took me a good 10 mins last night to find the puissance which was incredibly annoying. I only found it because it suddenly just randomly showed up in a menu that I had been to about 50 times in my search

    Progressive Earth or Forage Plus

    Mine requires extra vit E as he is an EPM horse and there is not a lot of it in the grass in his field (I should really say 'grass' as it is that poor). So I add (a lot) more for him. I get my vit e usually from PE now but will sometimes get it from FP. I dont see a difference in effect from...
