Thanks everyone, protexin quick fix has worked great 🙂

Is anyone else having issues with this? The new batch of haylage that was delivered to the yard is very green and still smells like cut grass rather than haylage. My horse has gone very runny and hay wasn’t an option to swap him onto so think I’m going to have to go buy him a bale! Does anyone...

Barkeldy is on the cleish hill used to be westerdeanhead but it’s a big yard? Not sure of any other yards up that road?

a friend of mine is looking for livery in the Kinross area and has ticked off a couple of no’s but she can’t seem to find much in the area? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

It's definitely worth a try, I bought a Beris one with the harder mouthpiece. They are quite expensive but don't mind spending the money when you finally find something that works!

Oh that's not great I don't mind bucking and broncing but I am really not a fan of rearers! Sounds like a pretty determined boy! You have to keep safe if there's nothing physically wrong then you don't want to keep putting yourself or others in danger? You could try turning him away for a...

Have you tried a snaffle with a ported mouthpiece? One of my guys is really strong but a friend suggested trying her ported fulmer it has a plastic mouthpiece and he schools amazing in it! It's the first bit I have managed to school him in where he works consistent and soft and I have basically...

Like above if you've had all the checks done then I would really try and work on pushing thru it I had a serial broncer and did it when he was asked to work properly he would quite happy work on a loose rein all day long but as soon as you asked anything of him he would Buck, cow kick, anything...

I use the fairfax girth for flatwork on mine, it's leather both ends and since using them I definitely feel a difference compared to when I used a plain leather girth! My studgirths are prestige they are lovely soft leather and are elasticated both ends! So I guess that's not much help lol! I...

Hi there, i should have probably already mentioned what I have him on! He is already fed top spec ulsakind with the comprehensive balancer, Dengie healthy tummy and fast fibre was thinking of just upping the cubes but didn't know if you could feed too much of the stuff? I have never had any...

As the title says really! Was considering putting one of my horses on baileys no. 4 topline cubes just wondering if anyone knows if it is suitable for a horse with a sensitive tummy, he's currently on a 4 week course of gastrogard he has grade 2 ulcers and windsucks. He competes most weekend's...

I'm away competing most weekends (showjumping) I normally have a showjumping lesson once a fortnight or if I have a big competition coming up will always have a lesson before it(tend to find I have more jumping lessons thru summer!) I have started having dressage lessons once a week now as well...

Sorry I have been quiet but I have finally moved house :D yay!! Oh god I hate big b****y livery yards and this is definitely one of them! Wow! some of the things I have heard between them is unreal...and have recently had one person in particular make some catty comments towards myself now...

In what I have seen so far the YO has her own little posse! I think she could be quite the handful...and there definitely seems to be some giant personalities at this place! don't get me wrong it's a lovely yard and everything is kept clean and tidy, it's just the people that I think will rattle...

Just a small vent really! Have recently moved to a livery yard while my stables and school at our new place are being finished and oh my I picked a good one!! It's been years since I last had a horse on livery and it was a lovely small friendly place to be...This place is much bigger and...
