Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll definitely pick up some fabsil, just what I was looking for! And, thanks for the reminder to not be too finicky - they are horse rugs after all and they're there to do a job, not look spotless! Got a couple of repairs to take care of first, I think, and then...

I'm getting myself a bit confused over reproofing turnouts... I have several that I was looking to spruce up while the weather is nice for drying them out again and it seems to be quite expensive if I send them to someone else to do. As the rugs aren't very dirty, I was planning to do them...

Hey there. I've been using "Protexin Gut Balancer (Bio-Premium) for Horses" as an ad-hoc supplement when new grass is allowed, when stressed, change of feed, change of hay and so on and it's done very well very quickly. Usually what I see to prompt me to use this is very loose/runny cow pat...

Found some green still that was damp inside when I split the stem so probably just going to rake back a couple of meters (doable where they are as electric fencing up) to give them the grass and chuck the topped stuff aside elsewhere. Thankfully, I know no ragwort as it's been maintained. :)

Very likely to already be dry, in that case, though I'll check tomorrow. Everything is just baked... They wouldn't be going on any bits that would have been sheltered and possibly taking longer to dry and rain isn't coming until the end of the week, if that. Thank you for helping! :)

Hey there. The field has been topped (where the horses aren't grazing currently) but I'd like to allow them more grass as the bit they're on is currently burnt off quite badly (as is in many places). Considering it is dry as a bone here and not a spot of rain, when can they safely go back onto...

It's popped up across several news sites now, but I'm HOPING it will stay cloudy only over Easter (milder) as it's not set in stone. Thank you to who suggested the treatment for chilblains, you are AMAZING <3 Double socks today, but need to let the poor things heal... Planning to sort a...

I'm told that we're due more snow over Easter and, at least, a spell of unsettled cold weather in the interim. What have people found most useful during this horrid weather? I thought I was good at dealing with the cold, but I've struggled being out in it since that first Siberian blast and...

Thank you for the help! :)

I am leaning towards turning them out together with supervision (perhaps head collars while they're being watched) and seeing if I can put up some more fencing at the very end of the field to allow extra grass where we haven't been grazing (it's not normally grazed). I'm thinking that the...

This is the only empty stable, yes. I have delayed bringing the second horse up, but I cannot risk my mare being left alone as I don't expect to have notice of when the other livery client is leaving or when the yard manager is having her horse put to sleep (if she does it). My big mare...

(A little update first, if you saw my earlier posts. The unpleasant lady, I have been informed, is looking for livery elsewhere. If she does not leave of her own accord, LO will give notice. Yard manager was talking about putting her horse to sleep (when her friend is "forced" to leave) still...

I didn't know you could search finished auctions - handy for future! Yeah. You can see I didn't look closely enough at the images, but I kind of do see this one as my "oops". It's not clear but you can see the clips in image 3. I've got a bid in on an actual running martingale that looks a...

You may be right, I can see how it goes back through the bit and clips back on that photo... Sugar. Oh well, will be more careful with ebay pictures next time! Thank you! Anyone want a market harborough? ;)

Will be annoying if so (the clips weren't shown in the ebay picture when I bought it) but at least I will know what it is so that I can sell it on! :) I don't have the ability to post pictures, sorry, and the auction ended (as I bought the item).
