Lovely to meet Stacey and her gang last weekend. Really looking forward to holding a clinic at her premises on Saturday 9th August - please contact Star Barn Arena to book either an express or full consultation.
Quite jealous I don’t get to ride in her stunning arena after though! 😂

Had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Chloe from Equicare Nutrition on Saturday.

Checked 4 of our horses talked about feeds, routine and put a very practical and achievable plan in place. Very approachable lady with lots of knowledge and experience.

She will be back in 8 weeks time. Holding a clinic here. I will offer a discounted rate of arena hire. Bring your fur babies for weighbridge/fat body score and muscle score and amply advice on routine, feeding and much more.

Chloe charges £20 a horse (usually you would have to pay travel expensives)

And the arena will be riding in a group riding session (people coming and going as they please after they have been seen by Chloe this will be charged at a whopping discount of just £12.50 a horse for the arena!!!)

For more information PM.

Limited spaces available BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL.

PM to book and spaces will be held only with payment of the arena (you can pay chloe on the day by bacs)

I’m a huge fan of track systems, though I appreciate they don’t work for everyone! There’s an increasing body of evidence on their benefits, not just in terms of nutrition but also behaviour, welfare and health. I’m always happy to answer any queries you might have on whether one would work for you or how to set one up.

A new study has provided evidence and backed up previous thinking on the benefits of track systems for equine weight management. HorseWorld and Hartpury University have published a peer-reviewed paper in scientific journal Animals looking at the impact of different grazing strategies on managing equ...

Have you seen the adverts doing the rounds claiming that sarcoids can be managed nutritionally? Don't fall for it!
These really frustrate me - sarcoids are a form of cancer and need veterinary treatment, not supplements. For more information, have a read of the article I wrote:

Equine sarcoids are a form of skin cancer -can a feed or supplement treat them or do they do more harm than good?

Good point from Yeoman Haylage, ryegrass can be a great option for loads of horses. Some meadow hay can have non-structural carbohydrate levels way higher than a pure ryegrass crop.
As with anything, it’s the exact analysis and nutrient content that matters, not the name!

Small pony, big problems!
Not only does Poppy have to cope with having insulin resistance and EMS, she can't find a fly mask that doesn't make her look like a donkey. (Nothing wrong with looking like a donkey BTW!)
We still think she looks cute!

Happy ponies snoozing in the sun, and the jackdaws having a field day with their shedding coats. My lot summing up the all important three F’s : friends, forage and freedom! Who else has a snoozy sun-worshipper?

It might have been a bit overcast today but it didn’t stop my lot having a good old snooze - snoring away! 😴
Love seeing them so relaxed!
