Out in the day, been in at night since January. Usually I'd aim to have her back out at night as well by the time the clocks changed but it's so wet & muddy I just can't face it. Luckily horse is perfectly happy still being in at night being waited on hand & foot!

Loved her books! Flambards was a fantastic series, also really loved Fly by Night & it's sequel( The Team?), read them over & over!

I was using shavings but the extortionate price(over £12 for my favourite shavings!)plus my local shop not stocking the favourite shavings regularly forced me to try chopped straw type bedding. I can get heavenly bedding for just under £7 plus a local saddler sells nice unbranded chopped rape...

Sounds similar to my connie cross,mines energetic in winter but can struggle a bit in summer. I used to keep my mare in all day & turn out on bare field at night but last summer & now this year I've left her out most of the time & I exercise her 6 days a week & she's much fitter,more toned...

Definitely go with BEF,I sent a passport back to Ireland last year for change of ownership & they took flipping ages(about a month!),someone then told me they'd sent an Irish passport to BEF & they were really quick.

This is the one I've got,in Navy. Fabulous Jacket!

I bought an equetech last year it's one with the zip under the buttons. It's a bit stretchy & definitely the most flattering jacket I've had in years. However do have my eye on Pikeur Paulins,tried one when i bought the equetech but the paulin was just a bit out of budget at the time... but I'm...

I bought the swish fly rug last year & am super impressed with it. Previously I've bought a new one every year but sold it on as I didn't like any of them. The swish is very thin & light,but seems very tough,washes well & it's a great fit. I used to use the Rambo protectors on my old horse & I...

When I lost one to colic a few years ago I was already riding one at the yard for someone,the one I lost was retired & I was very fortunate that the horse I was riding for someone else became available to buy & I really liked her so snapped her up,she's a super mare & it really helped me keeping...

It was disappointing,I may not be a saddle fitter but I know when a saddle is moving! Luckily I solved the issue (by accident) so didn't need to chase him up. It only seemed to happen in winter,when the horse was a bit slimmer, I started using a half wool saddle pad & that extra bit of padding...

I've got a Nick Dolman saddle, it was made for a horse that had various issues but ultimately I ended up retiring that particular horse(nothing to do with the saddle!). I was very lucky that with a minor adjustment it fitted the next horse I bought. It's a lovely saddle, very comfortable & horse...

Another one who's had this issue & avoids neck covers as much as possible, my horse is always fully clipped seems fine without neck most of the time. She's grey so if I absolutely have to keep her clean or if weathers really bad I use a combo rug(masta rug with the neck that's supposed not to...

I also ordered the trilogy of showing books as read the middle one years ago but could never find the others! Absolutely loving them!

Thanks for the bump! Absolutely adored these books, have just ordered this for my kindle.
