Rugs slipping back...?
Published (2009-11-12 20:17:00)
And vice versa! I have found an overelapping velcro closure leaves the least mark - her rambo one is the worst for the line, but it slips the least (its miles to small). I did wonder if a combo without a neck seam was possible?

waterproofing rugs
Published (2009-11-09 11:41:00)
I have always washed my rugs in my machine at home, small pony, and never used a re-proofer! He is always dry under them. They are Horseware ireland and look slightly plastickey anyway. He has them on for a few days in heavy rain and it never goes through. I should add that I dont use any ppowder, just whatever is left in soap dispenser and pipes already, use a short cold wash. After all it is just to get the mud off the outside and make me...

taking off rug for a break
Published (2009-11-10 15:27:00)
once i had clipped or rugged, i wouldnt leave rug off unless it was exceptionally warm for the time of year, and then only for a couple of hours at midday, and definately not overnight when the temperature always drops by several degrees.

Advice needed asap please
Published (2009-11-08 21:07:00)
Debbieness My horse is also a rescue horse, but he was born at a rescue so no issues. He is a 15.1 cob and he is my first horse too. I am on a great livery yard near Brighton, it was recommended to me by a few different people so am very lucky. Everyone is really nice and helpful, so don't worry, not all livery yards are full of nasty people! Where did you get your horse from? A rescue centre or did you rescue him yourself?

Crib collar
Published (2009-11-09 16:47:00)
I have had horses bought in with collars but I don't use them. Its a bit like wearing gloves to stop you biting your finger nails, much better to deal with the underlying causes as far as possible.

Maybe just get a lightweight (not to keep her warm, I'm sure her double thick Shetland coat will do that) but to keep her dry and give you a clear conscience!! She is very sweet

I change it to a stable rug, the only reason being he always lies in poo in his stable. Turnout rugs have to be washed and reproofed to clean = expensive Stable rugs I just bung in my mums washing machine = free Hopefully you get my jist!

Might just be her build? You could try a bib whihc goes underneath her rug (sorry not sure of the proper name for them) They are supposed to stop rubbing/cutting in.

I personally wouldn't leave a clipped horse without a rug in this weather..... have you tried a bib to stop her rug rubbing?? Failing that, it maybe doesn't fit properly as shouldn't rub enough to cause soreness.

I agree it may be the haylage and lush grass is causing the problem. I can't afford the expertise of westgate laboratories but for worming advice contact them. They have a member on here but I can't remember the name. I'll have a look now.

Dettol is a pretty powerful scent, even diluted, and while the smell of it is likely to put her off eating her bed, she might also refuse to lie down in it. If she rolls in it, she will smell of it, too, and the fumes from Dettol may well cause minor damage to her eyes. I don't think Dettol should be used on bedding, but for disinfecting empty stables. If you have to spray the bed, try ...

Welcome. Your yard sounds awful. I would move him asap. If you are paid up I would just move him as soon as you can arrange it. If the YO says anything I would just say that you want him stabled at night and aren't happy with the service. I wouldn't let them know you are moving until you actually go, if you don't have a contract to give a month's notice. Just go and get your boy and ...
