Sorry to piggy back this thread but a friend is looking as well and would love to know the ones to avoid and any good ones.

Hi, my 3 horses are currently on rubber matting that was already in the stable that I bought off the previous livery. But in this weather I am finding that they are just absorbing water and soaking whatever type of bedding I am using and trust me I have tried them all. All of my stables are...

Just looking for something to help her take the edge off while in the stable during the night as she gets quite fretful and sometimes when she's out in her field. The choices out there is way too much, I understand that some work with some horses but not for others but suggestions would be great...

Looking to get my son a helmet camera for Christmas but not sure where to start! Needs to be light and easy to use as he's only 9yrs old. He's doing a lot of jumping and xc and is constantly saying he wished he had videoed it :-). Opinions guy please

Thank you, will have a look

Hi, my 3yr old welsh D has taken to running in front when being led out out of her field and the will try to run round in a circle. She has only just started doing this and was spot on beforehand so she's just trying to push boundaries. She lives with another mare who doesn't help matters by...

His name is Ollie and he doesn't have a show name either. We had a pony called puzzle a while ago. I don't want to just end up calling him new pony haha

Help we have just got a pony for my eldest son he's 12.2hh skewbald Welsh type but he's got the same name as my youngest son and one needs to have his name changed and not sure my husband would be too happy with me changing my sons name so the pony will have to have a name change, so any...

Thank you will have a look now

I have just acquired a beautiful 4 years old Welsh D mare, she's currently standing 15.2 but very bum high and she is extremely flat backed and fat so she will be changing a lot of shape. I am looking for a saddle that I can back her in, must be changeable and cheap. Someone suggested a treeless...

Unfortunately I habrnt been able to come across any locally that sell it in small bales which is why we had to resort to horsehage. How much of the hard feed would you give? Is what I am feeding him already a good combo? Thanks guys

Hi continuing on from a post I posted about 2 weeks ago about my 19yrs old Anglo Arab about putting weight back on, for which I had a fantastic response and so many lovely comment and suggestions. I have since moved to the livery from 24/7 field so he now is happily tucked up at night. He then...

Thank you so much everyone for your help and suggestions, I forgot to mention that I bought some micronised linseed from our feed stockist today after reading how much it has helped other people's horses. I agree that I don't think that the happy hoof is really what he needs and will look at...

Hi I got a 19yrs old arab x tb 15.3hh last summer, he was previously kept in a livery so in at night etc, we don't have that facility, he's out 24/7 and well rugged and has a shelter to use. He kept weight on well till December then started to drop, he was on happy hooves and senior chaff (as...

I recently moved into a new field and am thinking broaching a new paddock in the next month or so but there is a big patch of ragwort that has grown up with the rain from the last week. It is quite an intense patch of about 2m x 2m, the rest of the paddock has a few plants that was easy to get...
