Anything by Bob Marley, find reggae really helps me relax and breathe!

I'm no expert but to me that sounds like dominance. My friends elderly horse was in a large herd and was no 1 in the herd for many years. He then lost his status as he got older and a couple of the younger ones kept herding to keep him out of the herd. Sad to see but natural instinct I guess.

I know someone who bought through a similar route though probably not the same business. From their experience I would say to just bear in mind that a good trekking pony may not translate to a good hacking horse in another environment. Particular things to check are whether they hack on their...

I opened the capsules into a fast fibre feed and my mare ate it fine but then she ate absolutely everything. She was on 30 capsules in each feed so I was a bit apprehensive but it all went. Opening the capsules was much easier than grinding the tablets! Hope you get on ok with them x

Sorry for your loss, it does hit hard. Beautiful picture x

It's a yes from me, particularly like that it is so light with good air flow

Sorry you had this experience, sounds truly traumatic and hope you are both feeling better today and no long term effects. Bit concerned about you feeling dizzy yesterday, might be the stress but did you hit your head when you were crushed? Might be worth getting checked over yourself. Take care x

Fantastic news, so pleased for you both Xx

My dad has a similar ethos about horses - rather than thinking about the what ifs, he takes the opposite approach of 'that will never happen! Mmm, applied this logic to going in field with quad and leaving the gate open because they were nowhere near...it did happen with 2 horses hot footing it...

Yes, we have and love it - we went one size up so nice and roomy plus it makes it easier to put on/off. Keeps hound, who has very thin skin, warm and cosy on cold nights
