Hi Pastie

They're fine thanks. I've moved them closer to home now - moved them in September onto DIY. The new one has finally come home from hospital after almost nine months of in and out stays,and has started roadwork and my golden oldie is in semi-retirement as the grandad of the boys field. How's yours?
 
EB it would be wine, however I have run out, so I'm on Asda's grape, apple and raspberry juice - not quite the same, but better than nothing - oh and a muller fruit corner.....

Holly Hocks, glad they are doing well, have seen pics of them and, well they are just lovely. I have another out of training, a red head by Orchestra. He came to me very skinny and had ghastly flat uncared feet. He is looking a lot better but needs grass, of which we have very little here. He is costing a fortune to get right, but it is so satisfying seeing him come right. He was a hurdler, then pointed so he has had a varied career. His last few years have clearly not been happy ones.

Oh that's so good to hear you've got another one. It's lovely when you start to see the improvement isn't it? My mare also needs grass, but it's just a waiting game for it to come through. At least it seems to be drying up a bit now. I have to bring mine in at night to stuff them with haylage overnight and then turn them out during the day. What are you feeding for weight gain? My girl is only on horse and pony nuts (with added magnesium for calming), mollichaff calmer and speedibeet as I don't want to fizz her up too much, but was wondering if there was anything else I could give her to get the weight on.....she doesn't like that Calm and Condition stuff, so I can't give her that.....

I did Calm and Condition but it fizzed him up, no calm at all! He is on Happy Hoof chaff, qwick beet, its low energy, and blue chip balancer, ad lib good haylage and soya oil. I also add a thumb nail amount of salt petre. You can get it from a friendly butcher as they use it to cure ham. Qwick beet is lower in energy than speedybeet. Mine is a hot head so need to be very careful about energy!! I cant reccomend the balancer enough, its pricey but by hell you soon see the difference!

I've heard about the Blue Chip before and I did try it when I first got her, but then she got ill and went to hospital and someone else on the yard I was on at the time "relieved" me of the rest of the Blue Chip......maybe its time for me to get another bag.....and as for yours costing you a fortune, has it cost you £9000 in vets bills? Mine has!

OMG! that is a lot of money. Crikey no, mine has not cost anything like that!! I shall not complain about the £40 for blue chip ever again. Do get it though, it takes a bag to really notice the difference, but I was spending £12 for C&C and going through bags a month. Sometimes HH, but just sometimes I wish I had a cob!!!!!!!! No, no only joking..... I think.

Oh I say it all the time. When I bring one in and it shouts for the others in the field, or I turn one of them out and by the time I get back from the field to turn the other one out it's nearly climbing out of the stable because it's been left on it's own for all of 30 seconds, I really wish I had something a bit more numb. But when I go for a hack and she struts along the road like she owns it (and she moves like a dream) and everyone tells me how stunning she is, I don't want anything else.
