Lol I can imagine that's quite tricky :D as a lot of people have said regarding this I suppose it is a matter of the type of hay and type of horse/pony you have x
Avon skin so soft dry oil spray in original is a great fly repellent works really well and is only £2.50 but even better when it's on sale :P
I've also saved a lot of money buying my horsey stuff off eBay I got two haynets for 99p and a headcollar for £2.85 recently so well recommended x
I think yards are really in demand in this area not sure on prices I know some are quite expensive though. I keep mine on a private yard main things I would look for would be secure tack room spacious boxes indoor/outdoor school and good hacking :D x
I've always been told that you must soak you're hay before feeding it to you're horse or pony but last night my riding instructor said that he wouldn't soak hay unless the horse was showing any signs of coughing caused by dust in the hay. Was just wondering what you're thoughts/comments were on...
