    Trailer insurance - things I wish I’d known two months ago!

    I was sh1t on from a great height by Anthony D Evans. They were truly awful, and mislead me into cancelling my policy, then refusing to insure me a week later with new trailer. An incredibly stressful situation where I was made to feel like the criminal.

    Livery Yard Issues - Help

    Why do yards change the goalposts? (I see it happen a lot) I'd most certainly be leaving, unless they are actively looking to recruit more staff and return to full service.

    What triggers requiring planning permission if wanting to make a track across a field?

    In my experience, yes it does (tho may vary county to county)

    Another yard choice

    Definitely not yard 1. That sounds awful. But no 2 wouldn't work for me either. If I HAD to choose, I would go with 2 temporarily till I found something more suitable.

    Is Equiboodle still going?

    Equiboodle used to be really active on socials and I love their stuff, but it's all gone v quiet. I can see the website is still active but no new products or anything. I miss all the fun colours and designs and their jolly posts on social media.

    Is the lesson price def per hour? I train with 3 top trainers and lessons are scheduled to be 45 mins long (but of course this varies depending on how the lesson has gone)

    False hair bun

    (I have already googled this but no joy) is there such a thing as a false clip-in hair bun ? All I can find online is fashion messy buns, and doughnut things which I assume beef up a small bun perhaps for thin hair. I have a short bob which only makes the teeniest little pony tail which...

    ESOMEPRAZOLE?

    Your question isn't as cut and dried as you think it is. Mine has responded better to esomeprazole than omeprazol. However, the 'routine' on full livery yards was more 'people' friendly than 'horse' friendly. My horse is now far far happier off full livery and being looked after by me. My...

    Keeping in in bad weather

    My yard won't allow hay in the field. 😒

    Keeping in in bad weather

    I totally agree with this. But when I express my feelings on restricted turnout at my yard I am shot down in flames. It's a big yard and I'm almost the only one that understands the importance of daily turnout (as far as possible). I just don't know why keeping horses in has become so normal?

    Keeping in in bad weather

    I wouldn't feel so upset when ours stay in during extreme weather, if the YM didn't keep them in at other times for the most feeble of excuses. I've never been on a yard where they don't put out by default and only keep in if absolutely necessary but on this yard the default seems to be they...
