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...
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...
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...

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
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...
