My cob had his wolf teeth out at 7 years old. The Dentist did it and I've always been told that EDT's are much better at horses teeth than Vets. It was no big deal to remove and made a difference to how he was on the bit.

On our farm Network Power regularly come to trim trees but they always seek permission first. The one time a junction box was on fire they cut the lock and replaced it for us.

I LOVE my Dubarry Claire's. they have the full leather panel on the inside which you mention. And they are super warm and comfortable as well as waterproof. Not cheap but well worth the money.

Had my TB for two months and he's a keeper. He's rising 4 so changing shape still. We've a saddle on loan but could do with sorting him his own. After a bit of searching I think the Thorowgood T8 GP would be a good suit and with adjustable gullets it should work with his changing shape...

Honetpot is spot on, he shouldn't be claiming SFP on land he rents out. Seperate matter is the muck heap, it shouldn't be a permanent fixture of more than 12 months. I mean there shouldn't be a temporary muck heap in the same place for more than a year. Regardless of how old the actual manure...

The biggest reason for not feeding hay immediately is in case there is any damp which will cause mould. If you know the hay was good and dry when baled then it will be fine.

Our 13.2hh cob was a driving pony doing trials driving. He can be very forward going and although we started him in a snaffle, this was fine for road hacking we needed something stronger for grass. We tried a gag which helped on grass but he then wouldn't jump. He is now in a Wilkie snaffle. He...

Mums is per 24hours. But she does take day dogs too. She also does settling sessions for free for as many as it takes. Owners provide food. She also posts pics and videos on her Facebook page so owners can check on their dogs while away.

My mum does home boarding and charges £13 a night for the first dog and £9 each for any others. But I think she is very cheap comparatively.

Hi, I searched Huntaways on here and found your post. How's it going with Gavin? We have a Huntaway x Collie and our shepherd has both her parents. We work all of them. Whitney our Huntaway is amazing. So strong and fearless. She moves sheep, cattle and horses!

We had a dog holiday at a lovely cottage in Brancaster in Norfolk. Cobble Cottage. Ideal. Had a little enclosed courtyard. Several pub/restaurants in walking distance and and of the most stunning expanses of beach I've ever seen. Perfect for a doggy holiday. You're also a short distance to...

I'll second that. I have a Canon 600D SLR which is amazing but quite bulky so I have my Panasonic Lumix compact camera too. The modes are brilliant and it has a 16 x optical zoom.

I live in my Dubarry Claires. Beautiful boots.

Hello, my mum lost her beloved dog last September rather than get another dog she decided to set herself up as a 'Home Boarder'. She started by only having one persons dogs at a time but now will have up to six (as long as they mix well) and they all live in the home with her and my dad. She...
