    Disposing of hay

    I take my old haylage in big sacks in car to tip and chuck in green waste. Or you could use a sheet to wrap around bale and stick seats down then take it and cut strings at side of bin at tip and chuck it in. Our amazing tip also allows single axle trailers

    Best way to passively soften leg scabs?

    I have a loan pony who I doubt ever had her legs treated before I got her, she was 22 and all I could feel was huge lumps, you could literally grab some of the lumps they were huge and you couldn't feel her actual legs at all. I clipped once to see what was going on (struggled to clip due to...

    Very bored, thinking of glue on nails

    The Glaze ones are great for horsey people as they don't chip or get discoloured ... If you have short nails use nail clippers to clip end off before filing. I tried some dip stuff ...looked great but totally ruined my nails when took it off... I got the standard size ones, you almost get...

    Very bored, thinking of glue on nails

    I've been using the stick on ones from dragons den, "Glaze" just stick on and file to size. Last a good week even doing horses. Take off by soaking hand in warm water and using any kind of oil. If you take time removing them properly no damage, if you have zero patience and rip them off them...

    Poorly old dog

    Great to hear she's improved. Poppy used to get the occasional loud tummy then mucus stool (not often, once every couple of months). Seems to have stopped since we switched foods... She was on James well beloved biscuits now on pooch and mutt biscuits with the same harringtons meat and chappy...

    Poorly old dog

    So sorry to hear Jesse is poorly. For our border collie we use youmove digestive care plus, pop a sachet on food (can buy it on Amazon) and it has sorted it every time. Only time poppy (our BC) had blood in stool was after giving a collagen supplement. She has a sensitive stomach and seems...

    Cost effective way to feed haylage for one horse

    My big bale is lasting 3 weeks (2 horses adlib) unwrapped but as my supplier warned me it is more like wrapped hay. Although not damp or moist baggins doesn't cough on it which he does even with soaked hay. I have had to pull the bale apart as it was threatening to get warm in the middle...

    Rain Ranting Thread

    Torrential rain in Somerset, horses are in but baggins is traumatised as thought rain might melt him (even though rugged and pony couldn't care less) lol. Fields have puddles, reans have gone from empty to full within couple days. Winter is definitely here !!

    Keeping trailer in field

    And to get most wheel clamps off just deflated the tyre or drive off ... If they want it they will take it though... A tracker may deter them

    Keeping trailer in field

    If you buy mud control mats have a look at their laying guide. Don't lay them so they make a big square but more like you would lay bricks if that makes sense. Reolink isn't a reversing camera but you can put a SIM card in and power it from a small solar panel (you can buy reolink from Amazon...

    Keeping trailer in field

    Can be useful shade and shelter from winds for ponies even if electric taped off. I agree mud control mats, make sure you stagger them when laying them as they will be firmer. Remember with equitrek u will need to be exact in your reversing as you can't manually move it... I would be tempted...

    Hoof boot advise please.

    If it's temporary then a woof Wear Medical Blue Hoof Boot (viovet sells them) Used one for a few months when mine had an abscess. First time getting it on (as they are very snug) was fun but easier after that. Mine stayed on in mud and wet. Needs to be unshod hoof I think though or would...

    Should i worry about this.

    Ring vet who came out and ask their advice. You can ask if they would investigate in your shoes (if insured I would do it anyway as even though you haven't claimed it will be excluded at renewal) if not insured ask what scan they would do and approx cost. X-rays or ultrasound can be done at...
