Can anyone recommend a good anti slip numnah. Would be willing to fork out for something like a barnsby but if there was something just as good but cheaper that would be great.

used i for two years now and love it. Up it if i am going to a show or a mare is in season that he is excited about and then can put it right down when he is being good and less excitable. Really works

After heart barrs, months of replacing lost shoes every week a new farrier has diagnosed my horse with white line disease. he recommended using bactokill spray.

i use survivor mane and tail gel. amazing stuff makes a dirty tail shiny and as if it has just been washed. tail is like silk and only takes the tinies blob

I have the same problem with my horse and it stresses him out more when people come at him with whips and lunge lines. I park the trailer in a quiet area with either a fence or something at thew side. I then place jump wings or barriers leading up to the ramp making a straight parth as my horse...

i wonder if she can actually jump 140cm like it states in the advert... really doesnt look like she has the build for it. Nice horse just way too chunky

central has lovely stuff and the staff are very nice but I find that they can be expensive

unfortunately my horse needs his shoes and he has an extremly bad quarter crack which needs to be treated and it has been recommended by vet and farrier to try a heart bar. Its interesting the big jump in prices thanks very much guys

My horse (16.1 belgium warmblood) needs two heart bars on his front feet and normal back shoes. I normally pay £75 for a new set of normal shoes and £70 for a refit. My farrier has told me that with his new heartbar shoes my bill will rise to £112. I nearly had a heartattack at this price as...
