    Cheapest way possible to build an all weather arena??

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

    To bling or not to bling

    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...

    Colour Testing

    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?

    Colour Testing

    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

    Colour Testing

    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?

    Donating horse to science

    A friend donated her mare. I don’t know much of the details but I do know she was PTS at home by the fallen stock man, who then transported her to the teaching location (I think it was a university - but not sure which I’m afraid). She received an update with the findings too which was...

    Hay pric3s

    A local hay supplier had been advertising 9.50 a bale near me - but sold in packs. Large bales (I think 4 string) look to be 90

    In hand showing a 2 year old

    I showed my gelding in a filly slip until he turned 3 (as I didn’t want to bit before that) and that was fine!

    Hosting a showing show

    Can’t help but good luck! We’ve lost so many shows over the years so nice to see people still wanting to go for it. I’d imagine if the venue hosts competitions then it would likely already have its own insurance set up. Maybe have a look at the venues and see if anyone else runs from them and...

    Grackle bridles

    I can’t remember where but I’m sure I had read that grackles are one of the better shapes of noseband for avoiding the sensitive structures within the face (maybe this is why they’re becoming so popular?)

    Just for fun - what's your dream breed?

    Awh I’ve got an Appy part bred and he’s my world! If space and money wasn’t an issue then I would really love to have a draft (shire/clyde or Suffolk) one day.

    Fence posts

    Yes! Half round ones are good too for ones that don’t roll when kicked, but they’re not as tall when laying on the ground
