    Show name for a dapple grey

    Dust free bedding?

    Hi all, my horse has a dust allergy and I'm just wondering what bedding would be suitable (definitely not straw!). If anyone knows anything relatively cheap as shavings around my area are pretty pricey! thank you

    Very small holed nets, can't be good for neck muscles

    How long do you normally hack for?

    on our own normally about 1.5 to 2 hours in the summer, because of the dark nights my hacks in the winter are probably about 30 mins - 1 hour if it doesn't drop dark quick. when out with others, it ranges from about 2-4 hours

    next bit up from a Wilkie snaffle?

    hi everyone, I'm looking for a new bit which is stronger than a Wilkie snaffle and about medium strength please if anyone knows of anything? only reason for asking is I'm not wanting to go down the route of buying a gag unless there is nothing else that suits, thankyou!
