56 is pretty long for a girth. Charlie is a chunky deep chested cob and only in a 50 at his fattest. He takes a 30 dressage girth and that has adjustment space either way. Is your current saddle pretty short flapped? I had to buy bon a longer girth when I changed saddle as the flaps were...

He's just too clever 🤣

I'd suggest you ask your yard owner what your final payment should be. Either they've told you it's a full month and you don't agree or you've not asked. I think if you want to leave on good terms you need to speak to them rather than adjust a payment to what you think it should be and expect...

There's definitely been activity on there more recent than that. I have issues with some groups I'm on - can't see all the posts for some reason 🤷‍♀️

Personally I think you have to look at where you're prepared to compromise to have a sharer. Imo, there are 3 things which are desirable when sharing 1 competence (ridden and in terms of jobs) 2 reliability 3 financial contribution I think you can generally find 2 of those 3, eg a good rider...

Thank you, only found out at 6 so I've not looked at much yet

Is this possible? I have 2 dogs, spaniel and mini hound. The mini hound has had bloods and urine checked and come back as having kidney disease - she's 14 now. The vets advised a specialist diet, mine are currently both raw fed, I'd like to stay with that if it's manageable. Brief reading...

My farrier commented on how bons feet were better when I swapped from farriers formula to pro hoof. So I'd stick with it. But you can order bigger packs, or multiples both work out cheaper and postage is same. I generally get 2 lots of 60 day bags

It's not an excuse, and I don't think I'd want to continue in that circumstance, but I wonder if the coach just sort of shut down a bit and went in to some sort of autopilot that they have to teach their next lessons and just focused on the wrong thing. I'm very focused when I teach on what I...

Prosecco repeated over and over works 😆

There's loads of yards around the outskirts - basically right round the m60 really, north is cheaper than south in general. However having worked in the city centre, as a driver I think you'd struggle to be with 30 mins factoring in traffic, it's not far but more like 45 to 60 mins...

I'll still be having him (minimally) trimmed by the farrier anyway, and he visits every 3-4 weeks so I wouldn't generally have much to do it's just that he's not getting enough gentle movement to wear rather than break at the moment 😞 Sounds like the little hand held will be a good starting...

Very much the same type of thing I was looking at. https://www.urbanhorse.com/fra_simple_hoof_rasp?keyword=Rasp&category_id=0 Helpful to know they work as a concept 😁

Bon is having a break from his shoes. He's majority stabled at the moment so most wear is from hacking - booted in front unless short on tarmac. He also gets a bit of turnout in an all weather paddock where he pings about like a lamb. Because he's got nail holes he's chipping his feet a bit...

In terms of vitamin loss, going off that table there's not a lot of difference between 2 hours and 8 hours, so I'd say if you're happiest soaking for longer then keep doing that. The vitamin replacement is difficult though - soaking obviously leaches a lot, but there may still be enough to meet...
