    Making damp hay more palatable

    Not too expensive if you make your own! Wallpaper steamer and large box with a hole in works just as well and I agree it did make it more palatable.

    Immune boost/general wellness support supplement

    Echinacea is a great natural immune booting herb - I think NAF do it in liquid form. I’ve given it to my Appy in the past as an immune system booster.

    Horses not eating much hay?

    We do have hedges too and yes they do lean over it, not a problem as long as they don’t pull it all down. They are good doers too so I’m not concerned about their weight. My solar energiser isn’t holding it’s charge because of the lack of sun so I’m going to get a new plug in adaptoor so I can...

    Horses not eating much hay?

    No reason for it but both the geldings are suddenly eating less hay than they have been. It’s all good hay, homegrown. The only thing that’s different is I’ve been giving them slightly more in their morning feeds but not loads and they aren’t even getting evening feeds yet). They might just have...

    Waterproofing a dog collar?

    She doesn’t mind. Although he’s officially hers we sort of share him as we live at the same property.

    Did anyone’s horses NOT enjoy 24/7 turnout?

    The Friesian could be a bit like this as he spent a lot of time in a stable I think as a young horse in Holland. The field shelter has been a game changer for him. He longer paces to come in as he always has hay in his shelter so he can go in and out whenever he wants. He now lives out 24/7 all...

    Waterproofing a dog collar?

    So I’ve bought my dog a red leather collar for Christmas but then saw that it’s not suitable for light coloured dogs as the colour may run - he’s a Dalmatian 🙈 Now I don’t know if they just have to disclose that due to the fact it could happen or maybe it is really likely to run. My question is...

    Grove and Rufford Boxing Day meet

    I’m no longer going as the guy I usually use for transport isn’t available. He’s the only person for miles around I know with a 7.5 tonne that does transport and my boy doesn’t like travelling in anything smaller so I can’t ask anybody else. A little disappointed but I believe everything happens...

    Good hand scrub

    Thank you, that’s really helpful. Horses are at home so I have everything here already which makes it easier and great advice about my manager. I’ll let it go this time but if it happens again I’ll ask her if she has any issues can she talk to me about it privately and not in front of everyone...

    Grove and Rufford Boxing Day meet

    Oh no I’m not expecting ANY hunting. Literally going for the meet and a 15 minute walk and trot to the next village where there is a second meet for the actual hunt where I would get the lorry to come and collect us.
