Sounds like I should give it a try :) Thank you! J. x

I was hoping for some general advice on fly-proofing Jilguera, my Andy mare, since she's recently been turned out with the other mares in a relatively large field with very long grass (she needed to put on some weight anyway :) ) I soon realised the need to buy her a fly mask, so have done so...

Okay, thanks (: I'll try and fix some smaller pictures for anyone who can't see them at the mo. Hopefully that'll help. x

I'd like to add that the bridle has matching rubber grip reins (also with white stitching), and I have a slight suspicion that it may have come from Spain... If that helps anyone to identify it? Thanks again x

Thanks, belle - sounds good! Think I'll try the two haynets idea (: Thank you!

Thanks for more information on it - I've tried reading up, but it's nice to get more straight forward facts in context (: Usually during the summer most of my yard is turned out 24/7, so pretty sure that this will apply to Jiggy too (: As she isn't particularly used to the turnout, I don't know...

I agree that Badger and Caffrey are cool names, Starbucks (: Because "Jilguera" is too long for general use, she's been nicknamed Jiggy. I'm desperately trying to think of something to replace this annoyingness, but failing badly D: it's stuck!

Jiggy, my about-to-be-shared 5 year old Andalusian mare, seems to start chewing on wood in her stable and attempting to wind-suck sometimes when she is anxious or bored. As I am only at the yard 2 to 4 days a week, and she is sometimes not turned out for all of the others (I am not in control of...

Just moving my share/loan/thing from: Secret (Lomond's Dark Secret) to Jilguera (which means "goldfinch" in spanish) (: love both and their names very muchly x

I'd emphasise the need for scissors (: Sharp ones for trimming feathers, tail etc. always seems to be my problem. Though you can probably get it when you're there, string/baling twine is very useful to have around (though you will need the scissors too!) (: Hope you have fun!

I've recently started loaning a new horse, and the bridle she came with is black leather with white stitching, and a very interesting-looking flash/cavesson noseband. The make of the bridle was probably on the browband, but unfortunately this wasn't on the bridle! I'd like to try and find...
