I had no problems bringing back five tubs of 100 tablets. I was on the Queen Mary 2, rather than flying, which may make a minor difference, but I shouldn't think so.

I certainly remember him! It's hard to believe he's nearly fifteen now.

Walking to the Post Office today, I saw a man pushing a buggy with a small toddler in, accompanied by a retriever-ish puppy, about six months old. As I got closer, I saw the puppy's lead was only being held by the half-asleep toddler.

The Equine Method. Jen is definitely a real person who writes her own words!

I'm looking for something non-ridden to keep Blue and I occupied and motivated over winter, and saw these books. With my knackered spine, I can't do a lot of lugging poles around, so the book of two-pile exercises looks ideal. However, it seems quite pricey for something that I'd have to print...

The prosew looks perfect, thank you!

I'm looking for a hi-viz walker rug, to avoid having to faff with a roller when taking Blue for in-hand hacks. I've seen the Ruggles one, but it looks a very narrow cut, and Blue is built like a two-seat brick outhouse! I'm not looking for a perfect fit, but I'm not sure the Ruggles one would...

Thanks for reassuring me! I do have the lami app, and it's currently showing low risk, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Blue developed lami this year, for the first time ever. Blood tests suggested she was hovering on the edge of EMS, so there's been a huge push to lose weight and get her blood sugar down. The weight is definitely coming off (waiting for weighbridge confirmation next month, but she's gone from...

My horse hated the TCS until I put the Christ Lammfelle numnah underneath it. I thought my arse had enough built-in padding, but she clearly likes a bit extra! I hack round our little farm ride in it, complete with trot and the very occasional (usually unplanned) canter, but haven't quite had...

Is there any chance she can hear mice or something, and that's what she's reacting to?

ChatGPT is not a search engine and gives incorrect information roughly half the time. Please, don't rely on it.

Thigh pocket. I have a wrist strap on it to minimise the risk of dropping it if I take it out. I also have a sturdy case and a screen protector. I landed directly on top of my phone once, and I was more damaged than it was.

I wouldn't rule out an abscess just because it's dry. It took a few weeks for one to erupt July last year, and the slight, fluctuating lameness had vet and farrier stumped. (My horse can be far too stoic for her own good.)

I ended up popping down to the local show yesterday, and came away with a 2nd and a 4th and the judge's comment that Blue would have done much better if she wasn't so fat. Which, sadly, is very true. However, I had to swap to a shorter girth yesterday, so we're definitely moving in the right...
