I have been riding my welshie quite happily at 8.5 stone and have only just stopped due to being pregnant and being just over 9st! She would still quite happily carry my but I feel anything over 9 stone is abit much for as she is a bit slimmer build than some! Saying that I know full well (...

12.5 ton leyland freighter

I have just brought all of mine that were turned away for winter up to the farm and around half of them look like that - if not worse! Some were riddled in lice and believe me looked like charity cases with large bald patches on neck/ face while a few fit healthy middle aged with no foals...

I alwAys have music really load when I'm there but as soon as someone else turns up I either turn it down or off! If I'm on my own there ( it's a quiet yard with only 5 or 6 liveries ) I do leave it on when I ride in the school or poo Pick as I can still hear it - but once again if some turns...

We often use our large covered yard when the fields get too bad! Sometimes they are shut in and sometimes the field gate is open although they always stay in the yard with a large bale of hay!

I've always found just louse powder great for any of my youngsters that usually come from the sales with them! I cover them all over and give it a good rub in with a old brush, I then repeat a few days later and scrub/ disinfect anything they have touched ( brushed, rugs, head collars etc) it...

I think it depends really on where they are , what type they are etc and you have to think about can your afford the treatment if they need it. I brought a tb with 4 or 5 no bigger than my little finger nail on her belly and back leg! At one point 6 months later I was beging to regret my...
