Try plaiting electric fence tape in his mane, making sure it touches his neck.

I have a camping kettle. You just need something to burn I usually use paper feed bags.

I use a strip cut off a girth sleeve, no sewing involved?

One of mine did this so I got a no tip feeder, can’t remember the name but it’s square with arms sticking out of each corner. She pushes it round the stable but can’t tip it over.

I met a TB stallion called Confused!

Who can cram the most bags of feed/bales of shavings in their car. No vans or large cars allowed.

My few spot Appaloosa head shakes due to sunlight, she wears a fly mask all summer and sometimes in winter. Her eyes are fine.

I've been using Maxitrol for the last year. My horse has chronic keratitis in one eye, vet is happy for me to use it long term. I tried stopping but it flared up within a week so I'll keep using it.

Mine was a lovely dark colour with a white blanket when I got her as a yearling, she started roaning at 5ish and gets lighter every year. Her mum stayed the same colour all her life.

I use a shires fine mesh full face mask with nose piece. It stops the headshaking just get a bigger size to go over your bridle. I also use one in the field to limit exposure to pollen.

One of mine is the others will start soon. Still takes until end of April to finish though☺
