    Working Hunter Attire

    I may try this (or if I go with white will try white school shirts!) 😂 My son actually has pale blue school shirts which might fit. Although they are annoyingly expensive and have a little crest on them so I'd probably be better to just buy a pack of cheap ones. I already pinched the tie from my...

    Working Hunter Attire

    Thanks! I will probably get a new jacket at some stage as I'm planning to do a few performance hunter classes next year but the blue tweed will have to tide me over for the first couple until I get round to it 😊

    Working Hunter Attire

    So I don't generally do showing, but have decided to enter a couple of working hunter shows with baby horse. I have blue tweed jacket and cream jodhs (think technical name is "vanilla") and my tie is dark blue/navy with kind of lightish pink spots. I need to get a shirt, was going to go with...

    Horse wormer to become POM

    I can't see it making any difference tbh. Anywhere reputable already does egg counts and worms accordingly and will continue to do so. The ones that won't bother are the ones that most likely already don't bother worming (and will tend to be be the low end type). I actually think that, although...

    Mongol Derby

    My Instagram is kitty_does_the_derby - I actually have no clue why my user name on here is snow pony 😂 I do have a Facebook as well, but I think instagram just copies my posts over to it! Will give you a follow now 😄

    Mongol Derby

    Yay, that's awesome, go you!!! I was the exact same, I've wanted to do it ever since I first heard about it and eventually decided now is as good a time as any! 😄 I technically have an Instagram page to track my progress but to be honest it's mostly just random posts of my horses at the moment...

    Animals with names that don't suit them

    I have a warmblood called Brian. It suits him though, his personality is very much a Brian 😂

    Mud rash - That time of year again.

    One of mine got really bad mud rash after going hunting last year. The vet had me make up a paste of Bimadene powder, iodone and (I think) castor oil? He basically gave me all the ingredients and I mixed them up into a paste with the blender. I'd wash his legs with iodine solution in the...

    Backing 3/4yr olds

    Baby thoroughbred had another little trip out to arena x-country. A much twister course this week and he'd got a bit cocky having done it the previous week so was quite enthusiastic. The fact he started coming in at night a week and a half ago, has had his feed upped and was only ridden twice...

    Backing 3/4yr olds

    With the clocks changing last week, baby thoroughbred came in from his summer field and is now in at night and out during the day. Relieved as the field was getting quite muddy around the gate and hay feeder and I don't particularly enjoy grooming and tacking up in a windy laneway 😂 To celebrate...

    HBX506 with fitted tack box rather than front ramp - thoughts please!

    I've never towed a HBX (I'm not that fancy, mine is an older 506) but I have never used my front ramp. I'm not too sure why, I guess I've just always reversed them off since before front ramps were a thing. I travel them by myself a lot so all mine have to self load from the bottom of the ramp...

    Backing 3/4yr olds

    No outings for baby thoroughbred this week so had a little play in the forest instead. He's really getting into his jumping! 😊

    Immune/General Booster Supplement Suggestions!

    I have a 4 year old TB, currently 16.3hh with probably another inch or so and a lot of filling out to do. Currently living out but will start coming in at night in another week or two. He gets one feed a day at the moment, of conditioning mash and Equijewel, which will be increased and split...

    Backing 3/4yr olds

    Baby TB did his first little grid yesterday. He was a little star as usual and just popped through like a pro (we started with just a little bounce and then added an upright and then a little oxer). He also met his first water tray, safe to say he could not have been less bothered 😂 He managed...
