not naughty as such, just a bit tricky! well pickles isnt naughty at all, he doesnt have a naughty bone in his body he's just incredibly cheeky and a massive wuss lol bless his unmanly heart.
bons is just very stubborn and doesnt like being told what to do which isn't exactly great considering if you want to ride a horse you need to tell them what to do... plus she seems to really need to like you to go well for you and you need to take the time to just chillax with her and shiz to let her know shes appreciated.
roxy is just a stroppy bitch haha bless her! she used to walk all over me and really take the piss but now she just throws her weight around a bit and expects me to back off and then just gets all huffy and works really well because she knows she cant win lolz. and handling her shes much lovelier but can still be a bit iffy with silly things like her rugs ha :L

Yard routine?

On a weekday we feed around 8ish, it can be earlier depending if we are competing or it's going to be hot so Sam and I will get the riding done before the horses start melting, but on a normal day we just feed, rug up if any of them wear rugs and turn them out (inc DIYs because they're all assisted), muck out part/full liveries, hay nets/feeds, sweep yard and we are usually done by 10:30 at the latest so then we go for our lunch break. Come back at 3 to bring in the part/full's, put any needed lotions, potions and sprays on horses as they come in, then it's just skipping out, haying and feeding then we go home at 5pm

Saw you commenting on something on SH&P, your yard has space?! what's it like?

Yeah we actually have four boxes available at the moment but there are loooads of people coming to look about next week - our yard is beaut, we have a really nice bunch of liveries, the tea room is just fabulous and we n e v e r run out of milk, everyone is really welcoming and friendly

What are your horses fed on including supplements?

Wall's has alfalfa pellets and alfalfa light, protexin gut balancer, premier flex, seaweed & rosehip, vegetable oil and plenty of water to damp his feed down. He gets a large soaked hay net every night and has a lot of turn out
As of today Ector's having chaff, non-heating pony nuts, bute, devils claw, honey and a drizzle of molasses also watered down. He also has soaked hay 24/7 and a big bucket of graze-on ready grass at lunch time as he can't be turned out

What saddles do you ride in?

Ector was in a Stubben but as he muscled out we had to put him in a different one, he was in a Henri De Revel which was a lovely saddle
Wall's has a thorowgood dressage saddle and Kenton Masters long leg GP
