Mine are raggedy at the moment too. To be fair to them, I’ve just come in from the barn at 3:30am (lambing), and it’s chilly out there!

I’m a big fan of Instagram. There’s lots of “real” people on there with the same problems and issues we all have, you just might have to wade through some of the sunshine and rainbows people to find them. Unfollow anyone that doesn’t make you feel good.

I’m a big fan of grass nuts, so feed simple system (red currently as my grass is a bit rubbish but will switch to the Lucie nuts soon), with mole valley chaff. Adjust quantity depending on which horse I’m feeding. Some of them get linseed too. I over complicated feeding a few years ago and not...

Having read your other posts, I’m shocked you haven’t moved already!

Watched it yesterday. I love me a crime documentary so a horsey one is right up my street! I can’t remember how to do the spoiler thing so will hold off on my opinion for the mo 🤣

I really like Lincoln’s superior Leather Balsam

I had a couple of hairy oldies that seemed to get them every spring for a couple of years. I would bath with Dermoline insect shampoo (although I believe they changed the formula and it’s less potent now?) then follow up with louse powder which I would apply regularly over the next few weeks...

So sorry. Thinking of you x

Could you chat to the neighbours with an arena and see if they’d let you use it?

I’d go plain too but that’s just me - or see if there’s an option that you can interchange? Maybe a bit of bling on the leather keepers that can be swapped for plain ones should you want to change it up for any reason? I know some saddles have a plate on the back that can be removed and swapped...

That’s really odd! I wonder if there was a mix up with the samples at the lab or something to end up with that result from Animal Genetics?

Ugh sorry not sure what I did there! I can’t get into my account to try and add to basket annoyingly. I’ve requested to reset password but I’m not getting any emails through

Which companies do you all use for colour testing? I’ve used Animal Genetics UK previously (for a pssm test) and was happy with the service however I’m struggling to get logged in and the website is being clunky and won’t let me change it to UK so I’m getting US prices. Are there any others?
