You are looking after them both with great love and care. Best wishes for them, and for you xx

I use agrobs mash for mine. It’s soya and Alfa free and I haven’t tried anything else that is. It is always polished up by my quite fussy horse.

Horse hoods. The fabric is really soft and I love them!

I’m not at all convinced by this although I only read the abstract.It seems to suggest that horses are kept in wild breeding herds and domestic horses will learn the behaviour of wild herds eventually, and then wolves won’t be a problem for them! There are no wild horses, they have all been...

So sorry 😢 sometimes a kind end is the very best we can do for them. Thinking of you xx

Nothing that barges or is wide, so that rules out highlands and cobs for me. I’m 67 and my ISH is light, easy and has lovely smooth paces. He is not the best granny’s hack, but is kind and gentlemanly. Polite ground manners are essential. I’ll never buy a young horse now, and if I had to look...

The autumn grass flush could cause this. There are some helpful Facebook groups too. Diet can take a while to get right, mine is intolerant to soya and alfalfa and I’m very careful to avoid these. Keeping him warm always, a long warm up and cool down before and after work, excercise every day...

Smart saddles have a native specific model and will fit difficult shapes. You can trial them too.

I’m using bit bandage with my soft bits as I was fed up replacing them. It’s working well so far.

Oh no, I saw the show jumper get loose from the collecting ring. Very very sad. Otherwise, Scone has been great, straight drive in, no parking queues, no long wait to get on/off the A9,a lovely course with great visibility for spectators, and a much improved members area. Plus the weather has...

Absolute nonsense, 30%! Is this the Japanese study where the horse was staggering (but still upright)? Please, let’s all take a step forward into equine welfare and lose the “all about me” blinkers. It is a privilege to ride a horse and a responsibility to make sure they can carry you and a...

The test pro app is really good if you are a visual thinker.

I don’t have manufacturer details as I opted out of this vaccine. Will the vet not do this automatically?

Horses on our yard have become ill after receiving their 2nd dose of the vaccine. Not just stiffness, but one sided, hind end or shoulder lameness, unable to move necks down, weakness, and pain. Vet has not bothered to re visit, and a few are still on 4 Bute per day, 4 days on. All were...

I’ll be first in the queue for the human version! It’s currently on trial in Australia and I emailed to ask if I could join the trial but you have to be resident.
