    Management of Horses and very hot weather

    Mine are standing in today, with fans positioned just outside nibbling distance in front of their stables. Once the sun comes round later this afternoon the stables will probably get too hot even with the fans so they will get hosed off and turned out with lots of fly spray instead of their...

    Fly rugs - help!

    I like the Weathabeeta ones with the shoulder gussets for my chunky pony, I think his current one is called Comfitec mesh II, he can move more freely in this than his old amigo one.

    Kevin Kat is either asleep or HANGRY.

    That sounds like a huge amount of food, how many pouches is he having a day and how much dry? For a big cat 3 pouches plus a couple of handfuls of biscuits is usually sufficient ( i have a cattery and feed about 25 cats a day so I'm going by what I normally see ) That would cost about £5-6...

    Anyone going to Your Horse Live?

    I went yesterday and had a very enjoyable day out. It was less busy than normal which was so nice, lots of room to rummage round the shopping stands and a lot more offers than usual. My friend and i saved the value of our tickets purely on the feed vouchers and savings on supplements we picked...

    Anyone going to Your Horse Live?

    Can't you not go and get a refund? the fee was only £2 to have the option of a refund, i ticked it just in case I needed to pull out, but I'm looking forward to it, I certainly wouldn't go if I didn't want to!

    Anyone going to Your Horse Live?

    I'm going on Friday and really looking forward to it, haven't been for a horse day out in a while so planning to spend lots of money and make the most of it I'm also meeting a friend I haven't seen since pre-covid so another reason to be getting excited, can't wait! Need a few bits and pieces...

    People pretending their dogs are strays.

    So disappointing, I know everyone said it was coming but even though, now its happening its still so sad. Responsible pet ownership still seems to be beyond too many people. I guess the only solution is more education and even new laws. Cost seems to be the best factor to make people stop and...

    WWYD winter grazing

    I wouldn't but I am quite cautious about grazing, our grass is very rich (dairy agricultural type) personally I would go for 2 hours to start then build up by 1/2 hour probably each week. I know my horses would go mad though so I guess it depends how restrained yours are too.

    Do you feed your horses treats

    I was always taught not to give treats from the hand because it can lead to nipping so I've tended to follow that rule and only give a few in a bucket after they've been worked. This was particularly my stance with a mare I bought six years ago who would nip your hand quite roughly given half a...

    A Dugdate

    Sounds like he's making good progress, he looks very cosy on there :)

    Solo comb?

    I always use one for mane tidying. I only take a few strands of hair at a time which I think reduces any chopped look. I've used them for years on all different types of manes and find them an easy and kind way to look after their manes. For some horses pulling is fine, they don't seem to bother...

    Itchy?

    One of mine also had injection for mites this week, he was itching mainly his upper hind legs, I would definitely ask vet for advice.
