Bawtry/Austerfield/Tickhill are nice and you might find something with land for that. There's just over 3 acres for sale between Bawtry and Austerfield at the monent for offers over £35000 - but it is literally just the land - needs fancing and everything else sorting. 4/5bedroom houses 350K up.

We added it to his feed twice a day. I can't remember the amounts exactly - the salt was a couple of tablespoons a day, and the linseed and brewers yeast were about a cupful - I think it was a Topspec measuring cup about the size of a small mug. He was a big horse.

Our Welsh Ax Shetland did this. The vet put 2l of cod liver oil into his stomach through a tube and we put him in a bare stable. In the morning the stable walls were pebbledashed up to about 3', but he was fine - and hungry!

We fed our horse with sweet itch a mixture of linseed, brewers yeast and salt. He grew a full mane for the first time in years.

I live in Bawtry. It is literally in the middle of the town,(very small town) so no fields/grass/loose horses or other animals. Last time I went down, it was quite packed, with lots of people watching but quite calm - I didn't see any horses that were more than slightly enthusiastic. I don't...

I don't know what that is I'm afraid, but I was going to ask if anyone has signed up for the streaming - I followed a link for a free streaming service but it asked for my credit card details - 'in case I wanted to expand my viewing choices'. There was a promise to take no money, but I was...

I used to sandwich the tablet between 2 extra strong mints - if you lick the mints, the tablet will stick! With the pony we have now, I push it up into his mouth, and then very quickly give him a treat.

South Yorks - I've got 3 smallish horses on just over 5 acres and am just about to start supplementing it with haylage before they dig the field up. What's left of the grass is crispy when you walk on it. My other field is 10 acres for 2 horses and 2 small ponies, and there's still quite a bit...

I was reported once for having a dog and a deer shut in 24 hours a day.(Separately, I assume) It was the stable block just down the road, but again no apology.

My daughter was asked to ride a friend's 17.2 horse in a local show. She was about 18 at the time, and I had spent the previous dozen years picking her up, dusting her down and chucking her back on. She came off in the warm up, I duly chucked her back up, and thought she was joking when she kept...

My husband's had both knees done over the last few years - one at 70 and one at 74. He's78 now and can walk miles over rough ground. The only thing he finds difficult is kneeling down. I had a hip done last year, 10 years after i was told I needed it but couldn't have it. I'm thinking about...

I agree with bags with paper backs and clear fronts; lay them in flat and then put into a big box laying flat. Though the metal coat hanger idea sounds good if there's somewhere to hang them. We used to run 30+ classes. I hated doing rosettes.

A mixture of linseed, brewers yeast and salt was suggested to me for our sweet itch horse - can't remember who by, but I gave it a try. Nothing else had worked, except snuggy hood type rugs, and as he was an 18hh rug wrecker, that was very expensive. It worked; he was able to live happily...

We had a mare years ago who went short on the near hind when she was in season. A supplement - NAF I think - did help.

I had a pony that loved the stem left when the brussels are removed - she would start at one end and pull it into her mouth like sucking up spaghetti.
