Putting bubble wrap on my horses hooves

[guido16]

To let me get a bloody nights sleep!!!

They are right next to the house at night and sound like they are all doing river dance!!!! All flipping night!

They muck about all night and the only solution is earplugs, cotton wool to cover the entire yard or flipping bubble wrap on their hooves. Not amused..

Anyone want a house swap?

 

[KSR]

I'll stick with my house for now.. Can't hear my horses at all

 

[ClobellsandBaubles]

wouldn't bubble-wrap make it worse? They'd be making popping noises all night, cotton wool instead?

 

[amandaco2]

Take the shoes off. Mine also outside the bedroom window and don't make a sound.

 

[Grumpymoo]

I'll swap houses!!! I'd kill to have my horses at home with me

 

[guido16]

They only have four shoes between three of them!!!

I swear, the next thing will be that they start throwing stones at the window just to piss me off.....

Went out yesterday morning at 5 am as thought something awful had happened. Oh no!! They all whinny a lovely welcome and stand looking at the bale of haylage to get fed. Butter wouldn't melt.

Anymore of this and my OH will be going out with his 10 bore!!!

rubber matting?

remove vocal chords and pad the inside of the stable

failing that i will swop houses but you will have to pay rent and horses are stables 3 miles away

Second that

 

[guido16]

They are standing in a gravel covered yard with stables they go in and out of themselves, therefore I won't rubber mat the entire area, that's what the gravel is for.

I will have to invest in earplugs.....

 

[Patterdale]

Duck tape them to one of the walls.

Duh.

 

[legaldancer]

Little yellow tack shop sells padded laminitis boots that are like a poultice boot which may help. Think I'd change the gravel for sand too. We can hear people walking up our gravel drive from inside the house.

 

[cold_feet]

Why not leave them in their stables with the doors shut?

 

[Patterdale]

Buy a llama to scare all the horses into a corner and therefore render them immobile.

 

[Brightbay]

They're clearly all moving round to keep warm. You need a couple of those patio heaters, that'll sort it for you

 

[Patterdale]

Oh and scope for ulcers.

If still no improvement, PTS.

 

[Holly Hocks]

Yeah but has she checked the had the back, teeth and tack checked yet?

 

[catkin]

Just let them in the house - and make sure they can reach the fruitbowl without breaking too much......

 

[noodle_]

hobbled them and attach spikes to the stable wall so they dont move??

i jokes btw....


matting?

 

[Oberon]

Swap bedrooms to the other side of the house?

Hang them up in a sling from the rafters..You could set up a system of winches so you could dangle them over the field so no mud either..

 

[guido16]

I have tried all these suggestions so I will get a horse whisperer in, get them matching rugs, be nice haters and then I will get them rebacked, the alternative way, maybe bit less bridles, treeless saddles, plait their manes in a mystical way, sing to them every night and hope that works.

I think it should.

OMG you are the twin of a girl at our yard!

 

[rema]

If you need a hand..I'm quite a Mogul at Parelli.. But i do it on a budget not these expensive bits of kit..PM me if i can help you..

 

[springtime13]

They need more matchy matchy. Their browbands aren't bling enough and they just must have those eskadron union jack fluffy overreach boots. Sort this and you will get a good nights sleep. Or else PTS.

love this

but if this fails how about getting your really bad farrier (they are all the spawn of the devil you know?) to nails the horses feet ot the floor-no movement, no noise
sorry nothing sensible to ad although Oberon's suggestion seems like a good one

 

[Pinkvboots]

Do really feel for you as I have one just outside my bedroom window that scrapes her teeth across the door a good part of the night and early morning, hence getting up at 6 to turn out so I can go back to bed and get some sleep.

 

[shadeofshyness]

I've got it... Carpet. Simple!

 

[canteron]

Swop places with the horses .... they can have the nice carpeted house and you can have straw beds in their stables? Just make sure they don't run up too much of a Sky Sports bill or find any inappropriate internet sites.

lol this is my fave option

 

[whoatherejig]

Tena lady on their hooves? Or replace their hooves altogether with castors? (Wouldn't fancy riding down hill though).
