Mine became extremely depressed on 24/7 turnout. She loves her stable and a routine. I find it very narrow minded when people state how its unnatural to stable horses. Id love you show them how much my horse loves her stable. Mine has turnout every day, with long nights out in summer and...

I cheered for her when she entered. It takes some balls to face that crowd not knowing what sort of response you would get. Shes done more for dressage (including the wearing of helmets) than the rest of us put together. Shes paid her penance and been absolutely slaughtered by the public...

It shows that judging just hasn't moved on. I thought they were now rewarding more open frames but clearly not. V disappointing.

I'd stay at my own place. More horrible people will move into the other yard at some point.

We are here now. Shopping not as extensive as normal (still ok tho) but weirdly, despite sponsoring it, H&H aren't here. Bought from Mayston and Premier Performance but i knew what i wanted from both. No impulse buys whatsoever. Thd dressage was amazing and the crowd were truly wonderful...

I dont have one but I LOVE the sparkly Uvex ones. They are so pretty.

Blimey most people here have them at home. Tiny bit jealous. I have two. One at grass, one on diy.

Or a double warm up. Mine used to bog off with me and a double warm up often helped.

I searched and searched and never found one so had to go bespoke. I dont think manufacturers make longer lengths anymore. I nearly bought a lovely Holland Cooper one but after a lot of deliberation I didn't which I'm now glad about as that was too short. (I was getting desperate so nearly...

Op asked a question, which i answered. Im not going to justify my choices. You do you, and I'll do me.

Yes I do/would. I also buy Thunderbrook feeds.

Not necessarily. By simply being bandaged up it can still smell pretty bad. It does indeed stink, but im not relying on that alone. I am concerned that clear pus is just sort of gunk from the poultice and not pus that has discharged from the hoof. There does still seem to be a bit of...

I know its supposed to be black/grey. But what if its grey/clear ? How do you know when its definitely stopped draining?

I have been reminded time and time again by my physio not to be in a hurry as their backs aren't developed until they are 6. So mine was very lightly backed at 4, turned away, backed again but hacking out more at 5, turned away again, and will start grown up training at 6. I want a sound...

I understand the Bates tree (points) doesn't suit wider horses. Albion and Ideal trees suit that shape better. Also Black Country.
