They don't use haynets, hay is left on the floor as it is less time consuming than filling up haynets, and at the speed my horse eats a little bit extra would last about 15 minutes and their haylage is high in calories and i would rather he not have the extra energy! Have ordered a few weeks...

Thank you so much everyone. Sounds like a forage block would be a great idea, I've heard of them before but never learned about them in much detail. Will go and see what I can find!

I'm perfectly aware of that Queenbee, hence why asking for advice on replacing the forage he is missing. I'm guessing the picture was aimed at me? I'm not able to have his haylage increased and I have no way of buying/storing extra hay (or obviously this would have answered my problems...

Hi, it's a common occurrence on competition yards to feed more concentrates than forage! He's on full livery and I don't expect them to change their whole routine just for my horse, so just looking for an alternative that won't upset anyone. He gets a couple of hours turn out a week as they are...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on feeding a forage replacement. I moved yards a couple of weeks ago and as the amount of haylage my horse gets has been significantly reduced, I would like to feed a forage replacer. He's a showjumper on competition mix twice a day, and he gets sugarbeet...

Hi, if anyone has time would they be able to do me a huge favour and answer a 5 minute survey about an event I'm running as part of my uni course? It's called 'Horses Through the Ages' with a similar layout to Your Horse Live, but we're hoping this is an exciting theme that's never been done...

Ah that would make a lot of sense! Obviously having a blonde moment, I was wondering how they would stay in place! Thanks everyone.

Hi, I've just bought a new pair of Tekna tendon & fetlock boots. The fetlock boots have a weird lump on the inside near the top, it feels like hard fabric, but does anyone know what it's for? I tried to do a bit of research and all that came up was the name pinch boots and that they make the...

jester_ben if you're referring to me, then the zip on my brogini's lasted a year not a few days hun! I wear them every day and never clean them so it's probably my own fault anyway. But another vote for Brogini ^ best boots I've had by far... although I have my eye on a pair of De Niro's next!

Does anyone know of any good saddlers in Herfordshire? I desperately need one of my saddles reflocked before a competition on the 28th and so far I havn't had any luck with the two I've rung up.. I normally have Martin Wilkinson out, but last time I had to book a month in advance so I'm not...

I kept my horse there for a bit last year, I don't recognise the horse but I have some friends who have Stephanie on facebook. I can send you the link if you want? If you don't have facebook I'd be happy to write to her and see if they still have the horse? You won't have any luck contacting...
