You need a sweetitch rug for midgies. Boett blanket is the best in my opinion

I’d join the CPL page on Facebook, it has lots of great advice about desensitisation

Lite bite muzzle. Roomy and you can close up the sides

That’s exactly what I was going to suggest. There’s lots of enjoyment in non competitive riding, just look for nice places to ride out and enjoy hanging out together 😍

Fantastic thanks 🙌

I think that too- so would just just wash the material part in a bucket or similar, clean the leather as usual and leave you dry naturally?

I genuinely don’t know how to clean it 🙈 is it part leather? It smells like leather but then read someone put theirs in the washing machine… I’m going to list it for sale so need to have it presentable. Please help!

The oldies at my yard live out but get fed 2-3 times a day through winter

They are/have been closing virtually all the Scottish BE venues. Such a shame 😔

Haven’t read all the replies so sorry if this is a repeat but have you tried a felliway plug in? They’re honestly amazing at stopping ‘odd’ behaviour

Yeah my boy has come out in these sporadically the past 2 years. Oddly I’ve found washing them in maloseb to be the most effective treatment

What type of muzzle are you using? My boy ditched everything else but will happily keep a flexible filly on

Spendy but Edix are fab

I think he’s pretty miserable tbh. They’re obviously herd animals and get stressed and sleep deprived on their own. They can get trapped in a state of hyper-vigilance as a result. If you can’t him a friend or 2 asap I’d move him to livery. I think you’ll have a much happier horse.

Oh they’re awful 😣 they happily sell things they don’t have in stock and don’t bother to tell you. Useless
