I don't think that sounds unrealistic though! You seem to have found a yard that may just have the right type of people on it... I wouldn't have a clue where to look for a yard like that. Is it near where you live or the your top uni choice? I wish there was a semi-professional out there who...

Thats my thing - I think I know in my heart of hearts the sensible thing is to not have a horse for the next few years of my life and really focus on getting a good degree and starting a good career but I can't bring myself to accept that involves loosing such an important character in my life!

HoneyMonster1 Thats interesting about the student loans.. thanks for that! Ive had my horse since he was 4 and he's really become my baby! I've heard all sorts of horror stories about horses on loan or being ridden and messed up or broken by riders ruining them and it all scares me a bit! It...

Thank you! I'm going to sound like a complete nerd but... I want to go to uni because I love studying and would also like to be a barrister! I think I'm unfortunately looking for the impossible and want the best of both worlds! :/

I don't know which uni I will be going to until next summer but I'm always one to try and start thinking of solutions in advance. I hope to go to York or if my exam results are really good maybe Cambridge. He is not the kind of horse that could be a working livery... he is a very sensitive...

Im currently in South Buckinghamshire but depending on exam results will hopefully end up in Cambridge or York!

I will be going to university in September 2017 and I need to work out what I'm doing with my horse. I will be studying Law and if all goes well I will be going to a good university so the work load will be relatively full on. At the moment I work 3 days a week to afford to keep my horse...

Thanks thats what I thought balancers were for too! Ive always used them when I haven't been able to give my horses much hard feed so now I've increased it so much for my current horse I thought that may be the case!

My horse is a really poor do-er and had a tough winter. Luckily I've managed to get him back into good condition with Heygates conditioning cubes! He looks really good now in his weight and coat. I have always used blue chip feed balancers for my horses and had him on blue chip original but...

ilvpippa - yes thats what i have mine on for now - big bale hay and so far its okay but I'm waiting for another couple of days to pass and him decide he's not going to eat it anymore! :/ its so annoying!

The dentist has a fantastic reputation and I have used him for a number of different horses over the years and all have been fine. He didnt stop eating hay as soon as he had his teeth done, it was a good couple of weeks after - maybe my previous comment makes it sound sooner - sorry! It is...

Wow thanks supsup! thats all really helpful thank you! His teeth are definitely fine - the dentist came out for his 6 month check just before he started being funny with his hay and i did wonder if it was due to textures but the ones he won't eat are all different textures - some coarse, some...

not yet but he's only just started not eating it again so if he keeps it up for much longer its bound to happen!

Thank you so much! I will look into both of them!

would you say its the most non-heating type of haylage?
