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...

My horses live out, so I don’t need stable rugs generally, but one of mine is off to my trainer for a couple of months and will be in during the day and out overnight. I don’t particularly want his turnout rug being poo stained so I’ve been looking for a rug for him that can be multipurpose as I...

People say to size down, but is that because their horses aren’t big built? Or do the rugs measure longer than they state? Mine is 6’6 in length and i worry if i get a 6’3 his butt will poke out

If she has no grazing, she needs constant access to hay or another sort of forage

Having decided to buy an amigo XL 50g turnout for my big horse, they’re out of stock everywhere in his size. So now I’m considering a Rambo optimo, but put off by the fact that it’s 0g. I’ve never experienced a 0g rug that stays waterproof and also don’t like how they feel cold on the inside...

Near me that would be over £1000 per month. I’m in Kent

I just saw that - I only pressed the button once 😬

Trying to work out if it’s worth me towing my horse trailer or getting a transporter to take one of my horses on a 120mile trip. So can anyone estimate the cost of the diesel to tow my trailer (will be 1500kg trailer, horse and gear) with vehicle that does 37mpg on average when not towing (I’m...

No idea how I managed it though

I used to is progressive earth budget balancer, but recently swapped to Equimins as one of mine had issues with WLD and abscesses so thought I’d try something more comprehensive. It’s a good spec for the price. Not the cheapest, but far better levels of ingredients than some out there

They aren’t legally allowed to do so, only a vet or farrier can dig/cut into potentially live tissue

Are they just normal animalintex cut into hoof shape? I have big sheets of it I can pre cut and stuff into the boot, but it’s a fairly snug fit so not sure how well it’ll work as may just scrunch up into the toe as I shove the hoof in before the foot is slammed down 😩

Think that may be the only option, but may struggle finding somewhere that’ll take a horse behaving like this

My 4yo horse has an abscess. Let me poultice foot without issue and then the following day decided that a new one would categorically not be going back on - stamping foot down, barging into me and kicking out. I’m on my own, so not a safe situation to be in Horses live out, no where entirely...
