Oh you are extremely patient! I'd put the bowl in a stand if my dog did that...:D Thank you very much everyone; I have ordered a Road Refresher bowl and will see if that helps. I really do appreciate the input :)

Thank you everyone! Not sure a washing up bowl would catch the tidal wave that the Moog produces... :p I shall look into the plastic ones; thank you :)

My rather intellectually-challenged Boxer-X is the messiest drinker ever; after she has vacated the vicinity of the water bowl, thoughtfully putting out a "wet floor" sign in her wake, she considers her work to be done. Sadly we live in a hard water area, and the continual puddles of water on...

Possibly the funniest thing I have read on here ever, and that is saying a lot! Fellewell I do hope we are friends on Facebook, but I fear not as your username on here is not familiar. Your wit is exceptional!:D

Woburn Stud? If they can't help you they may know someone who can :)

What an amazing and inspirational story...that has the potential to be. But really, have you seen what is on his feet? Spurs. That just about says it all. The reason the horses did not run away at night was nothing to do with bond between horse and rider; no, it was sheer terror. Or as George...

Thank you. Good idea about the loading order. I guess we never thought about moving it because we always thought whoever bought our house would want to keep horses in the paddock LOL! Since they don't, we shall take it to the new yard.:)

Ah yes, I wish we had thought of that!

Thank you Cat&Mouse and Joeanne - that is really helpful. I remember the labelling from my camping days but would never have thought of doing it to the field shelter - brilliant!

Oh that is encouraging - it can be done! Thanks for that :)

We are moving house, and wish to take our field shelter with us. It is about seven years old and (I think) nailed together. I am sure it will be extremely hard to dismantle, yet fail to see how we could move it in one piece as it is probably too big to go through the field gateway. Has anyone...

Indeed. The chips are all the same size but they move around if injected under the skin, as in small animals, hence them being put into the neck ligament. It is a lot more painful (the hollow needle is huge), which is why horses are usually sedated. I am not a tree-hugger, but think branding...

You have the best ideas! I still love you for the shower cap :D

I just choked on my camomile and spearmint herbal infusion!:D:D

Thanks everyone. I use an Equine Speedskip for picking up the majority of the poos, but when I straighten out the bed with a normal fork I sometimes find buried treasure. Was wondering if a shavings fork would be better for this than a normal one, so used the plastic one with previously...
