My mare has been on it for years with no ill effects, at first she was on previcox (1/4 large dog tablet daily) and then moved over to equioxx when it came out

Thanks all, I’ve thought about it and messaged a local instructor to come out

I have a battery one and it’s ace! Brooms are for losers 😂😂

As virtual ground work lessons in real time? Like where I stream with some sort of hat cam and have someone talking to me? Basically the cob keeps planting out hacking alone and I’m trying to long rein some confidence into him but I’m worried I’m messing it up, it would defy the whole point if...

It took me over ten years to find a little place to rent by myself, ponies live out 24/7 but well hay’d, small area of hard standing (well mud control mats) and lots and lots of welly sucking mud! They have areas to get out of the mud so I’m trying not to worry about it, fields will recover if...

Riding in the dark is brilliant, so much fun and really rewarding as you have to trust your horse, I always had a head torch on as well but often switched it off

Thanks everyone, I’ve bought some instant kill traps as consensus seems to be no to humane traps, don’t think YO would like terriers coming round and poison gives me the heebie jeebies - will update how I get on!

I have 2 indoor cats and 3 covered trays, 2 without the doors- only one cat will use the swing door but they both use the other two trays. The cover definitely helps keep on top of them kicking litter everywhere and slows the dog down a bit from getting the forbidden nuggets

Hi We have rats in the stables! All food locked away but they are still coming in. YO has given me some manky old poison to use but I’m worried about the wildlife like owls etc. Not allowed cats. What humane traps have worked for you please? I really don’t like the idea of poison and am happy to...

Protexin gut balancer works for my mare and I use their quick fix for worming etc too

We paid everything. The owner kept the insurance in their name and we paid the cost of the premium to her. When he needed vet treatment we paid the excess

Try small holed nets then ad lib, or double netted?

Has all their hay gone by 8pm? Do they have any left in the morning? Are they overweight or poor at all? Ideally they should have adlib hay so they always have something to eat (as long as no health/weight issues)

I've just recently removed the mats from my mares stable and switched from straw to a dust extracted chopped rape straw bedding and soaked hay and her breathing has improved

Which country is it please that prohibits equines been kept alone? A link would be amazing too as I am rubbish at searching online for specific things. Thankyou in advance
