I agree with the others who have said vet views upon taking the images and gives me an idea. With my trickier one last year they said they’d review with their team later that day and called me at the end of the day to follow up (and then the day after with more opinions). Basically in short, I’d...

Mine also thought strawmax were tasty!

I had a look around my friends HBX a couple of years ago and was pleasantly surprised. Seems like a solid design

Oh I missed this thread!! So I came to the conclusion last year that my spotty one will only compete at the breed shows now because he’s just too marmite. However I did add a new member to my herd last year who be taking over to scratch my showing itch instead 🤩 If I can make it work with my...

Umm WTF thrice

Not going to look at my goals for this year as it all went Pete Tong and then I didn’t get my groove back so it will make me sad… BUT I do hope my 2026… - has lots of fun outings with the Spotty, riding club activities. id like to get him to one of the USJL shows and of course the Appy...

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...
