We've got a lot in Warwickshire and Eric is getting plagued by them. I am a bit wary about putting his fly rug on though as he is still so hairy and I am worried that it will make him more itchy.

Thanks for the flooring experiences - really helpful. I will check re: the planning - just to note that the concrete has been down for a number of years and hasn't been put down specifically for the purpose. It is just very handily alongside my paddock which is being extended to incorporate the...

Thanks - the shelter has 2 entrances so that is good. Thank you for your experiences re: the matting and bedding, that is really helpful. Re: the planning - the shelter will still be fully mobile, we will strap it to the barn behind to stop it blowing / moving but it won't have any permanent...

Fingers crossed that it resolves quickly x

My two cats came from my best friend who died, she left some money for their ongoing care although I would gladly have taken them without the money. I am conscious that I need to make a will as I am not so concerned about my house etc but am concerned about my ponies, Bunny and the cats.

My dissertation when I did my degree years ago was on linseed as an animal feed - raw linseed does contain a compound that can produce cyanide as it degrades so it could potentially be toxic. It also contains an anti-vitamin B6 factor. I think you would have to eat a fair amount for toxicity but...
