    Winter faecal water syndrome

    I got this going today and it works really well, even if a bit loud - video below. It takes a couple of minutes to chop a small bale and once we got going, I just blew it into an empty stable. It chops pretty fine - picture below with a very dirty glove to show. Fingers crossed it is enough...

    Winter faecal water syndrome

    My pony is doing well at the moment, she had a brief upset when I moved her into a different paddock which had long fibrous grass in it and then had to give her some hay as there was really no grass. It has shown me that long fibre is the problem though. Luckily the cows have now come in and I...

    Having slept with my dogs last night I now have two worries!

    I've got Tapo cameras - pretty cheap (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08ZNTM1X1?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1) and easy to set up, they can detect motion and track it and have a reasonable picture.

    Winter faecal water syndrome

    Sorry to hear that - I had exactly the same thing with my old pony. Everything crossed, she currently has solid poo - I removed all hay last weekend and am now just giving her hifi light, one of the Allen and Page mashes and fibre beet along with gut sponge and it seems to be working.

    I've only just found this thread and have found it really useful. I have been struggling with this with my little grey pony who is over 20 and has lost quite a few teeth. She had always been prone to diarrhoea which was sorted with Protexin quick fix for a few days and then she would be ok for a...

    RAW food

    It does depend on what you read - Some things I read talked about starting with one source and then varying and others say that it is fine to use the same source. We use mainly beef but do vary too - for example if we make burgers from other meats we will keep some by and make up some food for...

    RAW food

    Hi, I feed Bunny raw food - living on a beef farm that does field to plate catering it is readily available! We do 80% beef, 10% offal and 10% mixed veg. We mince it all together and then portion it with an ice cream scoop and freeze the scoops on a big tray and vac pack in 3 portion packs and...

    Solar fence energiser

    I've got the Rutland ESS 400 and it has been great - even over the winter it kept charging. It gives a fair zap - my little Houdini pony doesn't even try to get through it!
