    That's a really clever idea! First time I've seen that.

    I too had a bad experience, would not recommend Broadhill Stables

    Horse refusing hay

    I kept my horses in Denmark for over 6 years, love it there, very jealous! Have you had a grass flush there? It could be that they are not hungry for hay because of this. I am putting out haynets for my retirees but they are picking at them as there is still the option of grass.

    Do you think my horse is suffering from dementia??

    Not a horse but our border terrier did this near the end of her life. Would sit in a corner of the room and stare at it. I later read and realised (not at the time) that this was a symptom of doggy dementia.

    Field Shelter Recommendations

    Very happy with my Hunters mobile field shelter. We moved it to the other side of a 5 acre field recently with no issues. It is in a very windy area, so we ordered the ground stakes too. We also requested that an air gap was left near the roof line, to allow the wind to go through rather than...

    Teeth proof rugs

    Look for a 1680 ballistic denier horse rug. Various brands do them. I have always used one specific brand (hitting 20 years of loyalty with them now). Whilst not saying which I can say that I've had horses that are rug rippers, the rugs that are 1680 denier are the only ones that stand a...

    Horse market at present

    The administrator for the well known Dodgy Dealer Facebook page has personally recommended Broadhill Stables in past posts. This may explain why no apparently negative posts are allowed - no matter if they are factual.

    Thermal waterproof riding tights/jodhpurs

    Kipwarms for yard work, I don't tend to ride in them as I like some grip. Pikeur Lugana, old school soft shell breeches for riding (expensive but I have pairs that are 15 years old 🙈)

    Horse Back to Dealer- still no refund

    Where money was taken for a non-existent horse and held for a number of weeks, this involves both potential fraud/criminal elements and civil law issues. If you eventually received the full value back, the primary focus shifts from recovering the money to reporting the fraudulent activity and...

    Horse Back to Dealer- still no refund

    Please be careful about taking messages from unknown people. My friend was bombarded with aggressive texts and phone calls from the person in question after putting a post asking for info on a Facebook site. Both from the person in question and her peer group.

    Horse Back to Dealer- still no refund

    A little further detail, a delivery date was arranged the following week. Was then told the horse needed the farrier so could the date be delayed a further week. Day before horse due to be delivered, friend was advised that the vet report had arrived with a history of suspensory issues...
