Hi all Having recently moved to Glenfield in Leicester I am now looking for a new DIY livery yard in the area ie North/West Leicestershire around the Bradgate Park, Groby, Ratby area. Can anyone suggest or recommend anywhere as I am struggling to find anywhere suitable. Thanks

He needs a pick me up after being ill. Vet recommended both, so just wondered if anyone had found one more effective?

Does anyone know if these are basically the same? Has anyone used one to great effect? I've been using pro pell but it doesn't seem to be having much effect so am considering whether it is worth trying Red Cell? Any advice appreciated.

I've also posted this in Competition section, but does anyone know if you can wear spurs or carry a whip in Riding Club Horse classes?

Hmmm, spot the error in the above post! Too many words, that's what happens when you have a glass of wine after two weeks of not drinking!!

My OH doesn't get involved at all, although he would love to if he could. He's extremely allergic and had to be rushed to hospital as he couldn't breathe the first time he came to the yard :-( He would love to come to shows etc with me, and does sometimes come and watch from afar!

Can anyone recommend an insurer who covers trailers and doesn't just do trailer insurance as an add on? I'm with SEIB and was horrifed by their renewal quote at nearly £100 more than I paid last year, with no claims or problems!! I've also tried NFU but they only do it as an add on. Thank you!

I agree that if he is leaning he probably doesn't have enough room. My horse used to lean really badly when we first had a trailer, to the point that in the end he fell over, freaked himself out and wouldn't travel in a trailer again! We then travelled him in a lorry for a few years, and...

I've been using magnetic boots for around a year now with a great deal of success and am now considering a magnetic rug. Just wondering if anyone knows which type is best. One I have seen has 96 bi-polar magnets, the other has 15 high quality neodymium magnets. Any ideas??

Thanks for all the suggestions

Thanks, will have a look.

Having overcome (fingers crossed!) a nightmare year last year of lameness, colic etc, I am finally able to get out and about in my new trailer, which my horse absolutely loves, even if we're only going to hack somewhere different, I think he just loves a change of scenery! I do dressage and a...

I want to develop his back muscles, bring his hindquarters under him and take his weight of his forehand. I'm assuming something like the Pessoa is the best way of achieving this.

Thanks, I used to work for him so had thought about them, had a feeling he had moved yards (but I may have imagined that!) Will investigate.
