    Carpet in stable

    😳 If you want to absorb the pee under a bed (without costing a fortune) try replacing your pellet base with sawdust. I have rubber mats, a good sprinkling of sawdust in the middle - gelding - (£6ish a sack, sack lasts me 2 weeks) ... then straw on top to a depth of about 40cms. Muck out down...

    Livery or horses at home?

    Have done both. Given the choice now? No way would I swap livery for my horse at home. It's far too much expense, worry, responsibility, loneliness, stress .... did I mention the responsibility & expense? And that was at my parent's yard, not my own. We had liveries who were (mostly!)...

    Blocking up rat holes

    Companies that don't use Evri

    I run a tiny company selling my own inventions called byHiggins It's tricky, as my local Evri delivery lady is brilliant but I know others elsewhere are not. So, I send things out (insured) with Royal Mail's Parcelforce48. Snag here is how expensive it is. I charge from £12 per item but in...

    Keeping in in bad weather

    Sounds like you're in the US or similar? That's fine if you have dry snow - mine stays in for a day if the snow is shallow & wet as it immediately packs into 4-inch wedges, which can only be prised out with a hoof pick.

    RIP Willow

    Should we ban whips??

    No. People do harm, not whips. What you call the tool with which people inflict harm is simply semantics.
