    Coolstance copra

    I only know one person who feeds it, tbh. She feeds it alongside a balancer, micronised linseed and Hi Fi lite, if i recall correctly. Has been awhile since I last spoke to her.

    Are there any rules regarding a racehorse wearing bling!?

    So someone connected to One For Arthur posts on the forum. How exciting. I was going to back your lad, then changed my mind last minute and backed Vincente instead... he fell first! As for the topic matter.. I can understand most peoples' views on this. Personally, I'm very old fashioned...

    Help with what to feed

    Yup. You can't go wrong with micronised linseed, imo. I'd also feed a balancer too.

    Keeping a white horse clean

    Elbow grease. Sorry, there are no real shortcuts. It's all part and parcel of owning a grey.

    Is it really so strange?

    I don't think there's anything strange about it and horses, imo, are a fairly hygienic animal. People who let dogs lick their faces and lips are gross though.

    That's exactly what I would have done too.

    The brutally honest confo thread!

    Some interesting comments on here. Spotting flawed confo, especially using photos as the source, is not in my skillset (unless blatantly obvious), tbh. I did spot a couple, but some of the critiques on certain horses have both surprised and puzzled me. *hangs head in shame*

    Best none fatty/high energy feeds for shiny coats?

    Yep. I'd go with micronised linseed.

    Girl Hitting Grey Pony

    Oh FFS. The comment was made because of her poor grammar. I suspect the OP made the mistake of thinking she was English. It was not intended as a derogatory remark against the Welsh and it's tiresome seeing the thread constantly being dragged off topic by posters who want to make a mountain out...

    Girl Hitting Grey Pony

    I'm not saying she should get death threats or that it's OK for people to turn up at their door with iron bars, but what she did was unacceptable and she needs to be punished through the law. Her claims that she only hit the pony "once or twice," as well as her father claiming he only "put his...

    Kent Horse Producers ....

    I see people mentioning this group all the time, yet I can't find it anywhere on FB? There is a "dodgy dealers" group, but there's nothing on there pertaining to horses. There's the "Horse Community Scams *uncoverd/conmen exposed" group, but that hasn't been updated since 2014. The only "Dodgy...

    Persistent thrush

    Unless straw has changed in the last twenty years, it isn't nearly as absorbent as wood pellets. I do agree that, with good treatment, you can be succesful at treating thrush on a horse bedded on straw, but on wood pellets it would have taken half the time.

    Persistent thrush

    Anything I would have suggested already has been, so I'll suggest that it might be wise to change his bedding to wood pellets. Straw and a thrushy horse does not make for a good union no matter how well the bed is managed, in my opinion.

    Autumn hacking a woops and a moan *lots of pictures*

    Fantastic photos! I particularly like the photo with the beam of light. Thanks for sharing them. :) EDITED: Most of them have light beams in lol. I mean the one where the road slopes down. Saying that, they're all lovely photos.

    Spirulina is fantastic stuff and it certainly won't do horses any harm.
