I recently changed my horses feed from livery pencils to livery mix as he is a fussy eater and the mix had mint and carrot in, he much prefers it!
But i noticed that the 3/4 of a scoop of mix i give him weighs A LOT less than the 3/4 scoop of pencils he used to get.. does this mean he needs...
I would advise starting with a deep bed and fairly large banks, then depending on how often the wet is taken out and the muckiness of the horse gradually pull the banks down to the middle to cover the wet, and replace the banks with new shavings.
And i probably wouldn't have any sawdust in...
I'm thinking of feeding Dodson and Horrell pasture mix to my horse who is in medium work.
The website makes it sound very appealing but I was just wondering how people feeding it have found it? And is there a "better" pasture mix that anyone would advise? Thanks :)
I close mine purely because somehow my horse gets his tail over the top of it! i have all the vents open, so the air is still flowing through.
But i think person to person it changes, people just do what they prefer, more air possibly wet or cold horses, or less air but dry slightly warmer...
Oh no i completely agree, and that is being looked into but he would not be sent off to just anyone, he is just advertised here as an extra back up but he wouldn't be given to just anyone. they love him dearly and his safety and comfort is the most important thing to them but thank you for your...

Because there is only one other horse at the current yard and that horse is being sold and the owner is going off to college in September so he would have to be sold then anyway :(

If i were you like others have said I would try some friends bits first, but i would advise going for a stainless steal french link fixed ring snaffle, Purely because the way a french link works makes it harder for a horse to bite it plus without the plastic the bit is smaller and isn't so nice...
In my opinion its crueller to let a horse develop lamintis that to put a grazing muzzle on. Plus there are different types you can research that allow different amounts of grass per mouthful!
Some horses however do not take to them and become grumpy or agitated with the muzzle on, but most get...
