It's not the same but I sometimes go to a community fridge & a couple of times they've had more than can be given out in one day so I've taken extra & said that I would distribute it amongst my neighbours, maybe that's what he was doing

Maybe the death of your OH has effected the dogs, my OH also died at home, they stayed upstairs while the paramedics were there but after the cpr stopped and he died they came downstairs. The husky walked up to him, licked his hand them came to me & licked my cheek, they both then lay down...

I've done a couple of trips with Hoofin About, who I can recommend as providing a good service and not silly prices

I saw that, glad I'm not the only one who didn't think it was cute.

We've never spoken before but I have been following your journey with Ludo, I'm so sorry to read this update. But you put his needs before your own, the last act of love you could do for him. Anyone critics should keep their snouts out!

I live near her, the staff ride on very busy roads, often at dusk, on brown coloured horses with no hi viz, they also don't thank drivers who slow down. I slowed down for them several times & have been ignored every time

I think it's a sensible idea. My normally quiet mare put a vet in hospital with a head injury. He's an experienced vet, so not a muppet, she went up vertical when he gave her an injection. When she came down she smacked the top of his head with her lower jaw. The sound of bone on bone was...

An odd one but I was very touched, I lost a much-loved horse to a field accident, I few weeks later I was riding along the road on her replacement & still feeling very fragile when a driver that I didn't recognise stopped & commented that I was riding a different horse & asked "where's your...

I use an easygrazer in the corner of the stable, she did start a habit of dragging it about the stable so attached a rope to one of the handles which I clip onto the bars. I really like it, expensive but very useful. I don't use the grill so she eats as much as she wants.

I leave some poo for them as well, I think they're quite cute, thought I was the only daft person doing it

I use these, they're brilliant; warm, waterproof and hard-wearing.

It was certainly a wake up call for me - I had taken the RS-tor off my saddle as I had a new horse who is a lot more chilled out than the horse I bought it for, I put it straight back on when my friend died; the poor girl was riding a quiet horse who jumped forward when something startled him...

I do this with my point 2 jacket, I've had a fall (which was also a horse fall) & it went off just fine; I still do it. I use both as a friend of mine died in a fall from a horse when walking home, the horse spooked forwards & she fell off the back, she was wearing a hat but not a body protector

Ros Canter's horses all live out, she seems to ride nicely and her horses are in quite simple tack, so I'd go for her. She comes across as being nice so hopefully she treats them well

It's not just the hard ground, there cracks that are big enough for a foot to go down, so I'm being very careful when off road.
