    How do you know when Sheath needs cleaning

    I noticed my gelding's bits were smelly when I was grooming him, had a chat to the vet and she sedated him and gave it a good clean, it was covered in smelly wet clay like dirt and stank.

    Steaming Hay

    I have had one for about 2 years, the company had a stand at HOYS. All we do is break the bale open and put the indiviual slices in upright. We tend to use it through the summer/autumn when we only have 1 or 2 horses in, because in winter we use big bale haylage. Would recommend.
