Today a couple of my friends took me to Ingatestone in Essex for a real shopping treat!
We went to Ingatestone Saddlery Centre which is the biggest retail horse outlet I have ever been to. I had a wonderful couple of hours wandering around and came out with a bagful of goodies.
There is an excellent cafe there as well, mmmmmm......

Treating Thrush with Honey
This is one of my favourite hoof care tips:
My horse tends to suffer with thrush in his feet during the winter. My farrier recommended an alternative remedy for horses which really works! I squeeze honey onto his frogs and rub in gently and this works wonders. Even better is that Justin doesn't mind having this done at all, which is great as he goes beserk if I apply any commercial thrush preparations or traditional treatments like peroxide.
Apparently honey has anti-bacterial properties which help to kill off the thrush.
