Why does it class as a bareback pad rather than a treeless saddle? It looks more like the latter compared to a Christ lammfelle for example

I have a semi retired horse who now just hacks once or twice a week with frequent periods of time off. His saddle is needing frequent adjustments because of his irregular work schedule, which isn’t helping to make it more regular! I am considering ditching the treed saddle and getting a...

I bought a mini recently and he will need a fly mask He has a very little head - he wears a foal sized headcollar - where can I find fly masks for minis? I feel like the XS size advertised by most brands will be Welsh A size, not mini pony size

Ok, we have now discovered this is definitely a compulsive habit and not a physical issue. He will sit on the back of the sofa behind your head and try to lick and pull at your hair. Not sure what I can do to help him. Feliway didn’t seem to make any difference

As a human that suffers from uveitis, I can’t tell you the light intolerance is the worst thing. Anything other than being in a dark room with sunglasses on is painful. So I’d go with the best mask possible in a dark, inside stable during a flare.

I’m trying to find a 16.5” Cavaletti monoflap and the second hand prices are only about £100 less than new. Certainly no cheap ones of those about

He is not scratching. Like I’ve never seen him scratch once. If it was an allergy would he not itch himself?

Yes, they locked the cat flap so he couldn’t get back in the house after they moved They managed to take their dogs with them though

I have acquired an elderly cat. I have a yard in the next village and the neighbour sold their house. They moved out on a weekend when it was very cold and frozen solid and left their elderly cat there 😢. Long story short, but I ended up with him. He is at least 16 as another neighbour has been...

My hi viz tabard is quite old now and I’ve noticed it is no where near as bright as my exercise sheet. So time for a new one. Can anyone recommend brands? - zipped pockets - adjustable so I can wear over a big coat in winter, but also over a t shirt in summer - no ridiculous slogans (my...

I have bought a saddle to start my young horse after my saddler took a look and advised what would fit. I got this Thorowgood pony long leg at a good price as the skirts are separating like in the picture. This one is the worst, but the sealant material on the other side that holds the two...

my chunky appaloosa wears Amigo XL rugs

A towel material is a bedding magnet, as anyone with a rambo dry rug has likely learnt to their peril! 😂

I have been very lucky this year and up until the rain last week we had no mud and I could walk around in trainers. I’m in SE and it has been very very dry. Which does mean our hay is a ridiculous price - not sure which I’d rather It’s clay so now I have some mud at the gate, but I have a lot...
