    ***Daughter and Dolly - hay and outlines!!!***

    just a quick suggestion - put the ring for the haynet lower down as she is using the wrong muscles in her neck to eat hay. so any work that you are doing will become undone. :)

    i just take out poo and only remove wet if it raises to the surface and then i only take the top off and leave the underneath and cover with old shavings and/or woodpellets. is very easy to do even with a messy horse. i can sweep my base with a brush as it is so established. i NEVER totally...

    Does your horse eat peacefully from a haynet?

    in this weather i put the majority of the hay in the net and a chunk of hay on the floor. then they can get a nice amount easily and quickly to start with then my pony eats much more contentedly from the net as she has a wad of hay in her belly. found it helps with keeping her bed tidy too as...

    Anyone got any experience of an IVA?

    just talk to your creditors and set up your own payment plans with them as an IVA company will charge you stupid fees for doing it.

    Best bedding for a dirty horse?

    deep litter on shavings, but a proper deep litter bed set up and managed properly too. it might cost to set up but the running costs and time is well worth it. works with my messy box walking, poo hiding, poo squishing mare!
