    Snuggy Hoods fleece travel boots. Anyone used them?

    Have used them on our welsh cobs for keeping the whites clean. We put them on overnight after bathing and take them off just before the class. They stay on fine

    Huish Horseboxes, or any other builder in SW?

    We had ours built by Tristar near Lampeter. They do all types and built it exactly to our specifications. We got it just before the Royal Welsh show last year. We have used it nearly every week since and couldn’t be happier.

    Washing own turnout rugs?

    We do ours in a concrete mixer. It’s a bit labour intensive but a bucket full of hot water and the detergent of your choice,let it mix then rinse with lots of cold water. Brings them up good as new. Tie the straps together with a cable tie to prevent them from wrapping round the tings. You...
