Ah ok so you're saying if I fence 70m on four sides I will have a one acre plot (ish)? I like your "add on a few more to make it a round number" lol

How many metres of electric tape would I need to go round 1 acre of land? I know, I know but my maths is shocking so I'm not even going to try and work it out!! :D

bump... (sorry)

Yeah, I like a Bodmin pony that's at my current yard and was going to buy him but he's quite wild still - He would just be a pet. Mind you, I guess if he wasn't at my yard he would have been culled with all the others so better a pet in loads of grass huh! Does the poll work now?

Just wondering how many of us keep their horse on their own really as I am considering moving to land where my boy would be on his own? Not sure how to use the poll option but will give it a go! I have a great load of land to go to and my horse age 14 I think would be ok but I worry about...

Fabo, thanks guys much appreciated!!

he's a m/w 14.3hh cob, looks stunning hogged. Is it really that specific, so a black jacket is a no no? What about numnah colour, that specific too?

I have NO idea of the etiquette behind colours when attending shows etc and wondered what colour jacket I should wear. What about jodphur colours?? Not sure if it is of any significance but my horse is black. Ta :)

My friend is selling her dressage saddle that fitted her very high withered warmblood..... Just a thought: http://www.preloved.co.uk/fuseaction-adverts.showadvert/index-1032156826/079ee95d.html It's a beautiful comfy saddly and I used to ride in it when I shared her skewbald :)

Joe kicks out with his front legs at horses that he doesn't know, it's just him trying to assert his ranking. It's normal I think but is he bolshy with you too? Joe can be a bit of an arsey darcey with me and I think its because I'm too soft on him so he thinks he's boss (currently in the...

Get a box that it can snuggly fit in. Wrap the saddle in bubble wrap. Put in the box and then parcel tape the saddle to the inside of the box under the saddle seat from front to back - this stops it wrattling about :)

I second the rake! Joe has a hideously massive, large, stonking, afro, mad and insane tail but with the rake I get to tidy and shape it really well. I rake it from the side first to thin it down and then start raking half way down at the back to thin it out there, seems to work well for me

ah right, yeah maybe I should use the bucket of feed to get closer, he stays with me if I give him food - I gave him a bucket of feed yesterday on the floor and he didn't know what to make of it, eagerly kicked it about the place and then realised it spilled food everywhere. When it was empty...

I've been befriending a youngster that will be 2 in April but I guess he was forced onto a lorry, herded into a pen, forced onto another lorry and then ended up at my yard. Basically I've taken him on and have been working with him for a few weeks. He's now happy with my presence in his...

Yes I'd be interested to know too. I heard that the earlier you geld the more their bodies concentrate on getting taller.....?
