I think, speaking bluntly and honestly (me personally I appreciate that tactic but not everyone does) have a look at how you sell yourself, what you bring to the table in terms of essential services to the average horse owner and evaluate how you interact with clients and thewhays your ability...
Can anyone advise how the sizes come up? I'm 5ft 6/7 size 12 sometimes size 10 top half (not after Christmas excesses mind!) I've a long Joules winter coat 12 fits perfect, not sure if the Le Mieux come up small or take into account a bit of bum padding 😂
It's bigger in real life (if you know what I mean 🤦♀️) and really sturdy. You can pack it with hay or put less in and leave it quite loose. My girls not a big eater so I couldnt say what its capacity is, theyre helpful if you message. I got a black Friday deal £148 with free delivery. Its been...

My alarm goes off at 5am,fall.out of bed before getting the chance to snooze it, yard clothes are ready to grab and throw on, boil kettle while putting shoes on/letting dog out for a wee, make tea in a thermal cup and run out the door. It's not a pretty but it works ? it used to 4:30 when I had...
