    Weather Forecast for Winter 2011/12?

    The berries on the hedges thing is an old wives tale. We have had perfect growing conditions for them, that's all with plenty of rain followed by sunny days makes ideal conditions for plump, plentiful fruit. As for the snow forecast, I kinda expect snow towards mid/end of october in the...

    what to do when your friends take the mick out of you for liking horses

    They're not "friends" they are bullies. Don't hang around with them, don't speak to them, pretend they are not there, delete and block them on FB. They sound like a right buch of chavs the "crew" word did it for me. The type that hang around bus stops and tesco express picking on old ladies...

    Winter Riding/Yard Jacket Recommendations

    Anything other than one marketed for equestrians!!! Unfortunatley todays equestrian wear is absolute rubbish, all the ridiculous embroidery on it just leaks and the coats on sale are just cheap dross with a high equestrian price tag, made for fashion NOT function. Get yourself to a shooting or...

    what will you miss most about summer?

    And what will you miss least? I will miss the long daylight hours, the dark evenings are just so inconvienient, I struggle to get everything done in time. I will miss least the flies.

    Well, he's home :) (and a feeding question)

    Please don't use the Hi fi or Alfa a molasses free range, it's coated in soya oil and is classed as a conditioning feed, being higher in calories and than the original varieties. I bought a cob several years ago that was 14.2 and over 700kgs and totally obese - came from a showing yard...

    Baileys or Allen & Page?

    Can't stand falcon feeds, my horses looked poor on it as well as being bonkers - Bailey's all the way for me, much better quality and does what it says on the bag.

    Dogs at Burghley

    one day there will be a very serious accident. Some dogs are nothing but a nuisance, getting trodden on and crapping everywhere, yapping and leaping around, the stewards should ask the most badly behaved ones to be removed from the grounds to start with and if that doesn't work a blanket ban of...

    swayback anyone???!!! o_0

    Agree with this - especially in C's and D's, I would never touch anything bred for the inhand ring thanks very much!! Yet these stupid welsh cob judges encourage the breeding of showy rubbish that will never be able to do a job under saddle!!?? There are not many welshies that do both jobs and...

    Worming a new youngster ?

    I'd go with the 1st bit of advice - have bought many youngsters in the past and have always done 5day followed by tape on day 6 - even my vet agrees!! haven't killed one yet - despite having plenty of worms chucked out in the poo!!! I would suggest that the person in the second shop may need to...
