My hay shed has a wooden door and I screwed two large cup hooks into the door, works well hooking one side of the hay net on the hooks.

Due to avian influenza, all hens should be housed so no wild birds can get in with them to stop the disease from spreading.

I use the bucket that has a lid that I have left from the fat balls I buy for the wild birds, it holds 5kg of powdered turmeric.

I was glad I recorded it so I could skip through a lot of it, loved the French display and the drummers were fantastic.

I love my Vauxhall van, my son converted it for me to carry my mini Shetlands it's got a small bit of living enough space for me to sit down and have a cuppa also a cupboard built-in for storage etc. Ponies travel sideways in it and travel really well wouldn't be without my Shetmobile :)

There is Newquay Riding club, St Austell Bay Equestrian Club, Tall Trees Arena, Dutchy Equestrian College they all have Facebook pages so worth having a look at them. Welcome to Cornwall such a shame the pub at the Minions just up the road from St Cleer burnt down at Christmas they did great...

Could you perhaps get two Shires 30" 5cm holed ones and put one inside each other? plenty of them for sale on good old eBay.

Owner of 3+ use to ride but in my old age now show Shetlands inhand.

Glad to hear they are ok ordered myself a pair on Wednesday and had an email they should be arriving on Tuesday, I have gone for purple ones as well. Hoping they are going to be a bit warmer than my old basic cheap wellies never spent so much on a pair of wellies :)

I bought a roll of cheap non-slip matting from eBay got a garden cane and sewed it across the top and put a bit of ribbon on it. Cost me about £3, luckily rosettes mostly come with a hook on the back so you can just poke it through one of the holes.

I use these 30" small holed for my mini Shetlands various places sell them. https://www.onlineforequine.co.uk/shires-haylage-net?spvl=27516&ps=MTY1PTM3JjE3ND0zNjg4#165=37&174=3688&adGroupId=121836746810&device=c

Get a straight piece of wood the width of the matting and use it as a ruler cut across the mat with a sharp Stanley knife, it won't cut right through the rubber but will make a line to follow. Put a length of wood under the mat in line with the cut on top of the mat you should be able to bend...

Ordered from Equi Supermarket on the 29th Dec realise they may have been closed till the new year but not recieved my order. Emailed them on Thursday just to see if item had been dispatched but no reply :(
