    Rain Ranting Thread

    If we get another wet summer like last year I'm honestly done with horses, I've never known things to be this bad and I'm usually one to see the the silver lining and make the most of the field lake but the constant dull grey sky and cost of keeping the horses semi happy at the minute is just...

    Dog tags *help!*

    I'm sick of buying dog tags! My 3 always lose them because those flimsy little coils that attach them always come off! 🤬 the latest lot have lasted a grand total of 3 weeks and my CO has already lost hers.. does anybody have any tips, tricks or alternatives? (obviously they are chipped too) is...

    I am at my wits end!

    Have you tried Heras fencing? I know it makes the place look like a building site but it's movable if it needs be and they can't get under or over it. Its the only thing that kept my old shire in place when he walked through mains electric fencing🤦🏻‍♀️.. although my very clever mini cob did...

    Interpretation of gets confidence from its rider

    This is exactly how I described my arab because... I am a nervous rider which in turn makes him a little nervous and he gets a little bit looky/spooky/stops or runs out at jumps etc but with a confident rider (even a complete novice as long as they are genuinely confident) he is a totally...

    Reolink SIM card advice

    I use a giffgaff sim, think I pay £10pm as I tend to use a fair bit of data just watching the sheep plot their next escape 😂

    Finding a share?

    Local fb horse pages and preloved are where I've always found my loaners.

    Taking horse back off loan

    You should definitely offer to collect ASAP if that is what she'd prefer as purposefully letting her take care of an ageing horse over a bad winter just to take him back in spring when the weather picks up so you can enjoy a fun season jumping on him really isn't fair. I have been on both sides...

    Lovely question from a non-horsey person

    My friends loaner was stopped twice in a week by walkers to ask if his mini cob was a Shetland or a shire ?

    Would my horse always tell me if her tack doesn’t fit correctly?

    I genuinely believe the horse will always tell you but its down to you to be willing to listen. Having said that, some are far more honest and make themselves heard while others are more subtle in signs

    Price of bedding!

    We have swapped back to straw as shavings are just crazy expensive now plus we have a local farmer who is actually reliable on deliveries unlike the local store we have to order feed from. Currently getting through one large round bale a week between 4 but 1 is on box rest and two prefer to eat...

    Reolink camera

    I've got a giffgaff one in mine, think I pay £10 a month, having previously been with Vodafone for WiFi and dealing with their appalling customer service I'd rather pay more with another provider than give them another penny

    41C forecast for Bristol

    It's summer, it's supposed to be hot. wWe've only had 3 consecutive days here where it hasn't rained so far and there's been the odd time where its been really cold and we've had the heating switched on and rugs on some of the horses! Weather's crap again today so I'd welcome some decent weather...
