    Itchy horse?

    Alfalfa makes my horse itchy - I took it out of his diet and to my amazement within 24/48 hrs his itchiness was reduced by at least 80% - may be worth taking the alfalfa oil out of his diet for a week and see if there is a difference?

    Wintec gullet screws help!

    I bought mine off eBay as I bought a second hand saddle with screws missing - they must have come complete as I remember being v proud of myself repairing it quite easily and better still managed to sell the saddle for more than I paid a year later 🙂

    Honeychop lite & healthy

    Yes and my horse loves it - will eat it by the bucket load ... he is normally fussy with chaff / chop as he itches the moment a piece of mollased chaff or alfalfa passes his lips so his feed is normally v boring and he doesn't always eat it - hasn't left a single feed since I introduced lite and...

    Horse whisperers - do you believe?

    A couple of years ago our yard had a gentleman with the intials "RP" visit our yard - I have to say I was skeptic but also thought I would regret it if I didn't have it done as everyone else was - peer pressure. I kept saying when people asked me if I was going to have it done was "what if...

    Itchy horse

    I was going to say Alfa-a too, I have to say that after years of itching hell, multiple dectomax jabs, £100's spent on trashed rugs, electric fencing around gates, trees etc etc - I now have a horse that no longer itches madly (had to reinforce his stable at one point) by slowly bit by bit...
