Ok so earlier today I posted that I will be live streaming at 7pm. This video is why. Zoë Williams showed me this at about 10pm last night and I spent most of the night and morning trying to decide how to react. I first wanted to create a long post explaining my thoughts. But then felt that the essay would be enormous, and still wouldn't fully capture my thoughts and feelings. So I started to think reaction video, then live stream. That way I can answer questions and create a real open discussion about it. I've got many videos to react too, and a special guest to come discuss it with me. Hopefully I'll see you all there.

We have to opportunity for Clare to visit our yard. Please get in touch if you would like to bring your horse for an individual, independent nutrition consultation.

CONFLICTING ADVICE... OR NOT?

With so many different feed and supplement products available and so much good marketing convincing you that you need to change your horse's feed, it can confusing.

What do you do with conflicting advice?

Stop, think, and study ingredients lists and nutrient supply per daily serving. Horses respond to the nutrients the product supplies, not the actual feed product. So is some cases what appears as conflicting advice might not actually be conflicting!

Some tips:
?? Study ingredients and/or nutrient supply per daily serving (not per kilo for supplements, because this doesn't tell you much)
?? If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is
?? Consider asking an independent expert
?? If your horse is doing well and you're happy their diet is balanced, then perhaps don't change anything

Remember that the purpose of marketing is to confuse you and create some chaos so that you feel like you need the product that company is selling!

Have you had conflicting advice about feed or supplements? Explain below!

Unfortunately due to a number of cancelled attendees we will not be running the De -Spooking client on Saturday 13th August as planned.😢

UPDATE: Apollo has now found his new human.

Due to the sudden unexpected loss of our dog and subsequent vet bills, we are sadly looking for a new 🏡 for our youngest Arabian.
ACA Apollo (aka Lollipop) is rising 6yo, approx 15.1hh show bred with very flashy paces by Vivegas. He has a solid foundation in groundwork, including liberty, having been owned by us since weaning. He was started naturally and goes nicely and sensibly under saddle. He has been slowly and carefully developed as we always planned to keep him. He has done very little ridden, but all his experiences have been positive, so he’s ready to be someone’s number 1. Would suit an adventurous type of person looking for a best friend to have fun with.
Video available on request. Mid high four figs

Hi everyone, I will be traveling this route on Sunday (24th). I have one space available on the route. Anyone wanting a lesson?

Due to the recent loss of our beloved Dachshund, Slinky and consequential vet bills, we have made the tough decision to sell two of our Arabs.

Rudolph is the slighter of the two Arabians. He is a sensitive right brain introvert who is very sweet and very willing. He would require a small and sensitive, but not necessarily advanced rider. He just needs someone that will love him and have the time to finish his development.

Lollipop, the larger of the two, is much more playful and cheeky. He would benefit from someone who is a little more adventurous. He, like Rudolph, has been taught enough of a foundation to be safe for an intermediate level rider, but both are not ideally suited to beginners.

If you are looking for a new partnership please DM me or comment for more information
