Next time you're tempted to buy a rug your horse...

... doesn't really need, donate the amount to the BHS instead

, or the Air Ambulance fund (a personal favourite

).

As my horses already have at least twenty-five rugs each, I'll just have to set up a standing order for a tenner each every month

Good idea. I was looking round the derssage nationals yesterday cringing at the Konig patent boots with diamonte tops (yuck!) and thinking what a shame more people there aren't donating to charities like the Brooke etc instead of spending on unnecessary rubbish (sorry, I expect I'll get attacked now by all those people with the aforementioned boots...). So my Christmas list this year is donations to a suitable charity, and no unrequired 'stuff'. Just think, if everyone on this forum did that, we might help a few horses with a lot less pleasure in life than ours have

Twenty five rugs each?!... They must be very lucky ponies!!
