I have actually been told that I am cruel for not rugging my 26 year old and 30 year old shetlands!!

I shall look out for that one as it does not list the ingredients on their website. Thank you :)

.... does not contain wheat (wheat feed) or maize (maize meal) or cod liver oil (or other animal derivatives). I've looked at Benevit, Equivite, Kossolian Salts, Pink Powder, Pro Balance, Clop, Selenavite E etc. They all contain one or more of the ingredients I want to avoid. Also the...

The problem is getting them there. There is no point in sending them via post as apparently the postal system is very corrupt and it will be stolen long before getting there. When Emma visits every few months the priority is vet wrap, bute, antiseptic creams/washes, antibiotics, wormers and of...

Thank you all so much. Can you imagine the outcry if a horse in that condition was found in the UK! The saddle pads make such a difference, I know it is a drop in the ocean but that one horse won't think so!

That is WONDERFUL CBAnglo, thank you. It really does put it into perspective doesn't it.

I used to deep litter it, I added at least three folds of straw a day, took poo out everyday and took the wet out at the weekend. I would leave the bed up all day to dry the floor after I mucked out. I would sprinkle a product called Stable Fresh on the floor, then a good bucket full of...

I've never covered mine either but I do keep them off the ground with a couple of house bricks.

When I could still breath pre asthma I used to have straw beds and used megazorb underneath to absorb the wet. That worked really well too.

I use it with my stallion and use ...... wait for it...... one bale a MONTH!! I take the wet out once a month, scrape the bed into the middle and make the banks up with half a bale. Then a week later add another quarter of a bale and a week after that the other quarter. However he never poos...

Give an Egyptian working horse a Christmas present that will make his/her life more comfortable for only £5. £5 will pay for a saddle pad and you will know that you have made a big difference to one horse's life. PFK give the pads away FREE to those that need them - over 100 already.This link...

Is she a foodie, as in could you feed her in the scary part? Obviously you would have to make sure the others can't get to her if you were to do this.

Mine are in seperate paddocks which are poopicked every day soI know exactly what they produce! My arab does roughly one poo an hour, on fresh grazing this goes up to 14-16 poos in 12 hours. My ID x does 6-8 in 12 hours, but they are what I call elephant poos. My shetlands do 8-10 poos...

Turn her out naked, let her go to the part of the field to graze for a few minutes, then take the rug to her in the field (I'd slip a headcoller on personally) and rug her up. Stand back and see what happens.......
