Can anyone give me some top tips please?
We've recently moved house and now have land/stables at home, but it means that in the last 3 months I've gone from 1 horse to 3. (My husband says it was inevitable really, and I have to agree! And it may not end at 3... )
However, the rugs are blowing my brains! When it was just my mare, I could look at a rug and know it's weight, shape, and whether it was due a repair/wash straight away. Now I have 3, all of different sizes to memorise, I'm struggling! Are there any clever (and cheap) ways of labeling rugs with size, weight etc? Gaffer tape and marker pen? Coloured tags?
And how do you all store them? Do you stack them by horse/size, or by purpose/weight?
It is actually ridiculous that rugs are keeping me awake at night, when there's sooooo much else for me to worry about (horses, fencing, hay, leaky roof, house repairs, children, husband, work...!). I guess you need to pick your battles!
