I have been reading on the best ways to build up neck muscles and I was wondering if long and low work or lunging with side reins is best? Also does strapping help?

They also did my sisters pony, must of had a bit of luck over the past few days!!

So it turned out my grandma had some clippers that were brand new and she didn't want so she said I could have them this morning, I thought I may as well try and if they didn't last I would get someone to finish him off. But they worked!! They managed to do a blanket clip, it did take me a while...

The ones I have seen are Wahl mains powered ones so charge wouldn't be a problem. I doubt they would struggle to get through the hair but I expect they will get hot quickly so I would have to leave them too cool every so often. I might risk it for £15

Has any one used human clippers to re-clip a horse? He was done about a month ago and it's starting to get long again so rather than paying £35 I wondered if human clippers would do it? Thanks

Can anyone recommend an instructor in North Yorkshire? Thanks

So I've heard a bit about garlic being toxic to horses (or something along those lines), recently I stated giving my boy garlic and he has being very lazy and not willing to work like he was before. He has also started doing little bucks, could this be linked to feeding garlic?

I was wondering what the quality of the leather is like and if they come up big? My boy is currently in a full, but it is on the tightest/ second to tightest holes which would be the best option - cob or full?

I was thinking about sending my boy away for schooling but I decided against that and I'm now looking for someone to come and ride him and then give me a lesson on him. Can anyone recommend an instructor in North Yorkshire to do this? And has anyone else done this? I'm interested in the pros...

Can't decide on which Neue Schule bit - either the team up or starter. Has anyone used either of these and can any one tell me what each is designed to do as the description is only brief? I'm looking for one that will help the horse seek contact and lower his head (he looks like a giraffe at...

Child handler - should our section A be plaited? What will my sister be required to do? (She is 6) And are cream jodhpurs, black jodhpur boots and a tweed jacket okay? Thanks :)

I'm looking for a feed suitable for my 3 horses. I have looked and narrowed it down to Allen and page Calm and Condition or Balieys No.4, I need one that will help build muscle on my two 5 year olds (along with correct work) without giving them too much more energy! And something to put weight...

I will have a look at all these...thank you! I wasn't sure if Shetland would be made for a shorter but chunky face?

What size bridle do you get for your section a welshies? Mine has a very little head and has a small pony bride and that is too big...we had to put a knot in the throat lash! Do you think a Shetland will fit better? He is in a foal headcoller😊

Not worked out full costs for a week but for 3 horses livery £15 a week for field and shelter, hay £15 large round bale lasts a week and straw rectangle bale £10 every other month...the good side of being a farmers daughter!! Cheap livery, hay and straw!
