    Round field feeders

    I can't seem to find a photo just now... anyway I use the same ones as Meowy Catmas, although without the mesh, I have never had a problem with them and have used them for years... I take the pins out that hold them together and tie together just incase anyone gets their headcollars stuck...

    Round field feeders

    I use ring feeders in all my fields and my large barn (for foals). Personally I wouldn't use the one pictured above as horses can get their heads stuck in cattle feeders. I would recommend you get a 'sheep feeder' as they are smaller spaces between the bars and horses and ponies can get their...

    Have you ever had second thoughts when buying a horse?

    It's only natural.... It's a big thing to go through. I was the same in June this year..... I had bought a 3yo mare in Feb 2000, broke her in and had 3 very happy years with her and unfortunately had to sell her in 2003 as I couldn't afford to keep her... I was absolutely heart broken and...

    I got 3 rescue kittens 3 years ago and kept them in a (large) shed until the worked out how to escape.... they were almost (!) always back for breakfast and dinner but they did sometimes forget the time when out hunting..... Your baby will come back and it will be as if she has never been...

    best 4x4 on a budget that can tow!

    I have a new(ish) (07) Shogun and an old (p -reg) fourtrak and I'd really go for another fourtrak! I'm on my third fourtrack and really truly love them... they are a little basic and bouncy but you always get to where you are going with them! I love my new shogun and much prefer to use it for...

    bouncy/leapy/bounding horses!!

    My old boy used to do this all the time........ The only way I managed to stop it was by giving him a 'check'. (keeping the usual contact and giving a sharp pull of about an inch backwards on the right rein..) I know many wont agree with this but it worked for my boy and he always had a...

    Had a visit from the SSPCA today!

    We did get onto the discussion about obese horses...... (maybe she that's what she was going 'to do me for' lol).... I don't want my horses any thinnner, they are growing and not working and I do monitor them and if they do get too fat they go onto a poorer bit but i very rarely have to do...

    Had a visit from the SSPCA today!

    Thanks for your comments I do feed the mares (bruised barley and sugar beet) as some of them had big foals on them by the time they were weaned and were a little poorer coming into winter. There are 12 on 35 acres but the grass is poorer than the field the youngsters are in. As they are...

    Had a visit from the SSPCA today!

    I forgot to add that my mares etc in different field DO get fed hard feed along with hay....... just these guys, in my opinion, don't actually need it......!
