    Mark Todd pony rugs - reviews?

    I have 2 of the combo turnouts for my 11h Welsh a. I find them quite generous, the 4'9 neck is far too long and covers him down to his nose when his heads down. The 4'6 is better proportioned. They have stood up to a lot of wear, my only gripe really is that they don't come in a heavyweight...

    CCTV everywhere, access is restricted at one end of the yard with electric gates only operable from inside the house, other access is across the front of the house. My horses are hidden from the road as are around the back of the house. Tack is in an internal tack room. Big dog and a crazy...

    My very lucky boys are having a Thermatex each in my colours, a 1/4 sheet (to share) and new bits and bobs.... and possibly a new matchy set!

    Summer 24/7 - are yours in at night yet?

    Mine came in on Saturday night, they've been coming in through the day all summer so it's no extra work for me really. I've fenced the field so a third can rest until Christmas, and will divide the remainder up so I can rotate as necessary.

    Stables dating back '70's and before...

    My stables are beautiful, they date from the Victorian period (not sure exactly how old they are) and have all the original features. They are all set inside a red brick building. Oak panelling throughout, the dividing walls are half height oak boards with wrought iron bars above. The stable...

    Does anyone else have no friends :S

    Red-1, what is the name of the app that you mention? That would be perfect for me when I'm at the yard on my own! If anyone is near me, I'm in a small village just outside Tadcaster and would love someone to come and ride out with me! Moved from a huge livery yard to a private yard and...

    Why did you leave your last yard/s?

    After reading some of these horror stories I've realised I've been pretty lucky! For years I kept my pony, and after that, my horse, at home. We sold the land when we were offered a ridiculous amount of money for it- several times what it was worth. There's still horses living on it, as it...
