    Any DIY spaces South Devon, Torquay/Newton areas?

    It depends on your wish list and area, there will be a stable free in a DIY yard in Holcombe (Teignmouth area) but there isnt a school but its good value and friendly.

    HELP: Haylage = runny bum, what can I do?

    I have had him on the Naf haylage balancer for 2 weeks and he's not improving prior to that he was on a baileys probiotic balancer and that hadn't helped. I have ordered some protexin today and will try that but I have also mixed straw with his haylage and am thinking of changing back from...

    HELP: Haylage = runny bum, what can I do?

    I had been making up 2 haynets putting in my shed for 24 hrs and then feeding. Partly because I'm usually there a bit later after work so when the bale is running down there isn't any left! But I could try spreading it out with some straw (nobody else would be interested then!) I also changed...

    HELP: Haylage = runny bum, what can I do?

    He's on fibre fast (fast fibre which ever way around it is!) and a scoop of Alfa A. It's difficult as a youngster he was starved so he's greedy! He was on fast fibre with his old owner which is why I kept him on it. He's only getting a small scoop at night.

    HELP: Haylage = runny bum, what can I do?

    My horse still seems to have a pretty much permenantly runny bum. The yard I am at provides haylage as part of the livery, there is not room for me to store hay. I have put him on haylage balancer its helped a bit but he's still runny. He is out in the field during the day and in at night. I...
