Wolds Exclusive Bling are local to me and as such a few people locally have them. They look stunning and do not have to be bling if that is not your thing. I don't think you would get better

I would think its been picked up in the field, looks very much like wire to me

It is likely because your horse is feeling more comfortable in their gut and therfore relaxed

Honestly I would, Its not giving up. It is giving you the best chance to succeed. The inconsistency is making my normally sensible 16yr old slightly sharp hacking. I wouldn't risk it with a baby, as at the moment it will likely be easily rectified. However you just do not want to inadvertently...

Having had a couple days when he has been in more than usual I am finding it am going through a lot. Taking a lot of wet out

I agree, but I would wait for spring summer to do this. Consistency is so hard this time of year, and even bombproof companions can be a bit fresh

Its ok, i am still undecided. I tried leaving the wet in to take out once or twice a week. But that didn't work for me. It is a big deep bed but he does seem to mix it up. He is a big horse though I now take the wet patch out everyday but dont disturb the rest of the base, and that works...

I am another who wouldn't sperate - it is simply not worth the risk. The mares are more likely to get upset by things that normally wouldn't bother them, as there is already a level of anxiety from leaving the foals. They may not show this anxiety until something tips them over the edge I...

For arthritis 100% yes.

Mine was wonderful safe as houses and happy to sharpen up, step up a gear. Only on request 🥰

Yes me too. I would really try to do the circular as otherwise she is always waiting for that point where she stops to go home

I would, we have one on our yard, I only use it in the worst of the winter months when turn out is restricted and they go into pens. I use it as well as riding, not instead of, he may go on it on his days off for a leg stretch, or sometimes whilst I muck out in the morning, then ridden at night...

I had clear faint yellow pus/discharge for about a week after the main gunk came out. I couldn't believe how long it kept draining for. I suspect a lot of people have it but done see it due to dirt etc. I was luckily able to keep the poultice and foot scrupulously ckean

If I understand its only 8 weeks restricted turn out? And you still have the runs? It's not the worst. I have that in the UK as we are on clay. If life was perfect I would prefer them to be in paddocks but unfortunately we have to make the best of what we have. As long as he has company and...

Some horses take longer than others, I wouldn't move on to the next step until she is 100% relaxed. As long as there is gradual improvements I would be happy. If you get stuck at one stage and she doesn't improve then I would consider doing things differently, but not faster
