I use chalk powder and chalk powder is the sole reason my pony has even vaguely white hocks but even with masses of chalk powder you are not going to be able to cover the mess he makes on his hocks.

Elbow grease is all well and good but my pony needs an hour of working in, cant be plaited the night before and is a poo seeking missile. When you have to be in the ring at 8am I'm all up for anything that reduces scrubbing or preparation the morning of a show!

Fair enough you are happy with your items and service, that's excellent and what you would like to expect, but you did attack to start off with and if you check out a lot of threads on this forum the general advice is if you don't like what you see don't look :)

Some of us like a bit of banter, some if us dont, takes all sorts to make a forum.

With the greatest of respect I think having an opinion is not attacking. As you rightly quote if people don't like what I post, then don't read it. I think there is a time and place for banter, but when this is such a very volatile thread and people are talking about Trading Standards, Court Cases, Small Claims etc, they need to be a little more serious as they lose all credibility.

Everything your describing makes me so glad I have a thing for black horses :D having prepped greys and coloureds for shows I really do feel your pain especially the ones for whom night before plaiting is just a game to see how many can be rubbed out before morning :rolleyes:

I do understand your pain as use to work on a show yard. I know that sometimes good old fashion ways don't always work was trying to be bit light hearted

I rather thought you would. Tell me, did you watch a lot of versions of Scrooge this Christmas?

Why did you make your first post an attack on the posters instead of an explanation of the fact that you are a happy customer?

I open this thread on a regular basis to see if Shwmae can actually come up with satisfied customers. Instead of saying you were one, which you are, you chose to criticize posters. Why was that?

I note also that you are, as I recall, the first happy buyer to post whose experience was 100% satisfied in terms of product quality, fit, correct order supplied and service. I trust you are not the only one, just the only one to post on here.

I have done it both ways, I worked with hunter liveries a long time ago that were never bathed just hot clothed and groomed about a hour a day.
Life, children, a job and now will do anything for quickness. I buy none greys if possible, dark ones get bathed and show sheened and a wipe over with a microfiber cloth before they go in, the greys get taken out as little as possible. I have just bought a cremello colt so he had better be worth the effort.

I really do rest my case with childish comments, your opening sentence is exactly what I am referring to.

I think making an observation and commenting on the fact that the thread was having childish comments posted is not attacking.
 
Lewbelle, having been alerted to the presence of this thread because of the length of time it has been kept running by posters of all varieties, can I ask you, having read what you have now read, whether you intend to use Shwmae to provide products that you need in future?
Our do you see the risk that things will go wrong as too high and intend to find another supplier?

Yes I knew you would latch onto that word, and in your rush to get a reply up you have cross posted with my replacement.

You desperately need a sense of humour, Lewbelle.

Can you answer my question. Why was criticising posters more important than supporting Shwmae to you? Balancing posts about positive experiences like yours are what the company urgently requires on this thread.

For white hocks, have you tried making a paste with chalk powder and a bit of water, plaster it over the hock, cover with brown paper and bandage over the top? Like we used to do with kaolin on tendons back in the day!
Then in the morning brush the chalk out. Works quite well :)

Actually youre the one who has come on to the thread and started throwing your weight around, people who are regulars on this forum do enjoy a bit of banter, if you dont like it thats tough, take your own advice and ignore these posts instead of coming on telling people how to post. After some of the utter rubbish reported by certain banned posters in defense of that company, a sense of humour was absolutely needed.

Snow - I use the chalk powder to make a paste, the issue is the bandages that he enjoys taking off!

My daughter's horse has four big white socks. We use Ms. Stewarts laundry blueing to clean them up and then she wraps him overnight. Sometimes he still manages to get stains if he gets the wraps off and we use baby wipes or Cowboy Magic stain remover to clean up what we can. After they dry we rub in baby powder to brighten and cover any spots. You just have to be careful not to use too much because when the horse walks you will see puffs of powder come off. They also sell some type of touch up spray paint here from Shapely's but it can look really fake if it isn't used properly. Hope this helps.

As I had a good service with no issues I would try them again.

I am sorry if you think that having an opinion is" throwing my weight around", but I am entitled to have a say, it is an open forum. There is a time and place for banter, but not when various posters are talking about court cases etc .

I can't see why that makes any difference. People might mention the idea of court cases bit we're not IN court.

If posters choose to lighten up, lark about and exchange banter, they're free to do so. :)

Why not? Humour has always been used by human beings to help cope with adversity.

If you can't cope with that I can assure you that you will not enjoy continued participation in this forum.

Fizzy wine and a stale mince pie anyone?

Once again I apologise for my opinion, but I can have an opinion and just because it is not negative about Shwmae, but pointing out that some comments are very childish does not make me a humourless person. I am quite sure if I had come on here and slated this company, I would not be being questioned about my posts.
