    Miscanthus

    I use the Miscanthus and love it. However, it is not to everyone's taste. I love it because the bed is heavier - this means that poos sit on the top and are easy to take out (the bedding doesn't stick to them at all), all the wee is at the bottom so you only take out the wet stuff and not a...

    Pure Feeds

    I feed Pure Balance. It is fabulous. A mug twice a day and the bag lasts ages. My horse has had laminitis and has cushings. I do add a handful of Thunderbrooks muesli (which is just alpine grass and flowers) to make a little more interesting. He has plenty of energy but is definitely not...

    Feed balancers?

    Pure Balance - this is all he gets for a feed! Fantastic. Horse looks fantastic and beautifully calm. He is a native so doesn't need a feed but needs the vits and mins for his cushings.

    Funniest horse related injury

    Trying to do girth up with very cold, wet hands, last winter, when the strap slipped out of my hand and I hit myself in the face and gave myself a black eye!! :)

    Lethargic Horse

    Just a thought - but my horse was extremely lethargic, particularly when ridden. He has Cushings. He was lethargic, had a glazed look and one day actually fell to floor when something made him jump. Quite coincidentally, I googled salt because the weather was becoming warmer and I wanted to...

    RS Tor

    I have one after being bucked off a couple of years ago. It is very good, although I haven't actually had to use it in an 'emergency' situation. However, I have to say, it does wonders for your confidence, just knowing it is there. I certainly wouldn't have time to grab a neck strap and...

    Pure feed company

    I use Pure Feeds. Started on Pure Easy but over the winter I upped it to the Pure Fibre Balance. Absolutely brilliant. Expensive, but everybody comments on his shiny coat, his behaviour is so much better when ridden (certainly not perfect but so much better than trying to find a calmer that...

    Current prascend price

    I use Animed at 94p. That is the best I could find, too.

    Pure feed company

    I use pure feeds. I feed my Section D 'Fibre Balance'. He was always very sharp, spooky, anxious, bolshy. On this he has fantastic condition - his coat is always so shiny (everybody mentions it) and he is very calm to ride. It is quite expensive, but he only needs 1 kg per day and it gives...

    Helpppp ????? Horse feed

    Just wanted to add that I use Pure Easy on my sharp SEction D. Works absolute wonders. Doesn't need any calmers at all now. Brilliant stuff. Super shiny coat and in lovely condition. He is an absolute joy to ride.

    Horsey people with arthritis?

    I have osteo arthritis in my hips and knees (now beginning in my hands and feet!). Funnily enough, my knees are not affected by riding but walking over muddy, rutted fields hurts them. My hips hurt if I ride for more than an hour (on a normal day - sometimes they are worse and sometimes...

    weatherbeata freestyle rug.

    I got one for this winter after having a Duo for the last 6 years. I have the same problem with the fleecey bit in the neck. I am going to cut it out as it just gets wet in the rain because it sticks out at the end. I think it is a brilliant rug, but my horse tends to sweat under it (he only...

    What Calmer do you use?

    I have tried most of the calmers on the market after owning an extremely 'sharp' Welshie (who has a massive buck). However, he is now turned out 24/7 and only fed hay and Pure Feeds 'Pure Easy' (just fibre - no cereals, molasses, etc.) and he is now perfect. Fabulous to handle and ride!!! In...

    Welsh section D - feeding worries - HE IS NOT A GOOD DOER

    I know this is probably a little late, but I have just seen this thread and wanted to add my bit! :) I have a Section D who can be very sharp, spooky, nervous/anxious who can lose weight quite quickly. I have had him on The Pure Feeds PureEasy for 4-5 weeks now and it is wonderful. He is not...
