We want your opinion :
With the way the economy is going and the cost of fuel rising by the minute -should we still go ahead with EquiSouth this November?
We will be emailing our vendors with a survey but public opinion is just as important. Let us know your views.

Coming into the cooler weather from now on.
So here's some handy suggestions !
💫Remember to check all your covers, dust them all off and have them ready for action, if you choose to cover.
💫Start thinking about feed supplies if you are hard feeding. If you are able to start stocking up from now, that's a great plan ! 💫Old freezers make great rodent proof storage for hard feed and Chaff and give you easy access for making up feeds.
💫If your gateways turn to mud think about fencing them off now so you're not wading through mud everyday -easy to get the horses used to it all now rather than waiting until it's muddy already !
💫 At your own suggestions here ! We are all open to a helping hand 🤗
