Mine get a Christmas swede each, although maybe I’ll get a pack of Guinness to try!

I know they’ve changed the models and gullets recently so can’t speak for those but I bought one of the older style synthetic jump saddles and like it. Haven’t had much use it as it only fits my Welsh x TB who’s no longer in work now. I originally bought it for my warmblood but it just didn’t...

Ours got rained on last year after baling too. Definitely doesn’t have that nice hay smell to it and had to chuck the outside layer (round bale) but ours haven’t had any issues eating it. I’ve still got a few bales left from last year thankfully, as this years cut was lacking (although nicer bales)

Umm technically 4 at home but two of them are half size so I’ll say 3 🤣

No, SPS-BS 🙂

Fab, thanks!

Silly question incoming… Rulebook states: “No false hair, artificial colouring or makeup to be used”. So chalk is a no no (damn!). Would things to make the coat shine also be a no no? (I use Supremes glistening oil on my other horse which makes his coat super glossy looking). Also - any...

I’m a big fan of RaceSafe. I’ve got the provent 3 and it’s far comfier than the older style (in my opinion). They do have a guide on their website for helping to find a size which might be handy to see if they do one short enough for you? Otherwise I did look at the Champion Titanium (I think)...

Amber had her showing debut at a local Winter Native pony show, taking a 1st in the Mini mares and then Reserve in the Mini champs 🥹 To be honest I was so happy with how foot perfect she was - the placings were icing on the cake! Thank god that the judges weren’t looking much at the dirt...

I waited a just over an hour for one vet before ringing my other vet who arrived in 20 minutes (so about 1.5 hours total) The first vet were attending a colic (mine was for a colic too). I wouldn’t consider myself out in the sticks either but clearly just one of those days. Hindsight being...

Mine had “yoyo balls”. Twice I had the vet out to assess for gelding and both times they said “no there’s only one” but I had DEFINITELY seen two, so I ended up taking photos as proof that I wasn’t a crazy person who couldn’t count. Turns out he’d only drop them both if it was warm enough out...

I’ve also not ever experienced any issues feeding it, although I have just switched to oil rather than micronised for ease. You could try Copra - they used to do a free sample if you go on their website (id recommend trying it first as I could not get my boy to even try a little bit. I thought...

I built one out of old pallets and off cuts of rubber matting. It’s heavy so not really moveable but that’s a cheap idea! Just cost me the paint

https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/dimpa-storage-bag-transparent-10056770/ I like these ones. Also perfect size for storing multiple saddle pads!
