My lad has his on all day, but will not eat through the it! Have poked grass through etc etc. He just stands around the gate ..... Don't want to bring him in off the grass as he's just come off box rest, but also don't want him getting lami as can't be ridden ... How can I encourage him...

Thanks, you cant see that I have, but for the rest of it I will try that - i use pig oil through the winter - obviously should have kept going for a bit longer!

feeling like a bad mom! I try not to fuss too much over my cobs feather - gave them a wash the other day and found matted areas around his heel - so cut that away - would you recommend clipping the last bit of matted away so can start afresh? fortunately it isn't noticeable that I've had to...

I have a super wide cob, and was advised to avoid girths with elastic

would also suggest putting him on plain chicken diet just for a few days so you can be sure it isn't anything to do with the food - hope he feels better soon - and if he is on your bed, I hope he has his own duvet x

in the boot pommel down. Remember to cover with a blanket otherwise sun damage

Hi, was showing today in a coloured traditional/native class. Now I'm not the fatest runner so don't show him to his best, however, I was a little disappointed to have a horse with clipped out legs ahead of me........ My understanding was always that trad should be natural, is feather left on...

normally wear a white shirt - mmm yellow (or that sort of colour) makes me look ill - could go for the sympathy vote :)

Hi, I normally show in hand in navy trousers and navy waistcoat - but fancy a change to brown trousers - however I cant find a brown waistcoat - are there any other colours I can team up with brown trousers?? I have a tweed jacket but prefer a waistcoat when in hand. don't want to spend...

I use pig oil on legs and a NAF silky on tail and mane - as others say do a patch test first. Rugs wise - I would bother at the moment - at his age and with a thick coat you would hinder him. Mine is 5, and now fully clipped and I have found still doesn't need a medium weight rug (ie 200g) he...

Looking at getting some long leather boots - have a wider calf hence the reason for considering the two makes above - any opinions on them please - I know Equietector are a lot more money but happy to pay more if they are the better boot! Thanks

I do agree with others - it was not the dogs fault - it was in its own home. the only suggestion I would make is that your mum suggests to her friend that she keeps her door locked so no one can 'pop their head around the door' and must wait for her to answer the door. The owner muzzles the...

my friend uses the shires ones - you need lots of pairs! in at night so has a break from them in the evening - her horse is hypersensitive to sunshine on his white legs and also needs the summer turnout boots. If some mud fever - uses a barrier cream under the socks - keeps them clean and...

have a read of the book Cobs Can - canter is not a natural pace for cobs - but they can do it with time and patience
