Review - Betta Life - PharmaTRAC Total Digestive Support



I was lucky enough to win this tub of BETTA Life PharmaTRAC Total Digestive Support, now usually I'm in a rush to try anything that will help digestion for Silk but with her living out she's not at all stressy and not having any issues so it's been sitting waiting to get use. Having tried a million and one supplements for her I was beginning to think nothing would every do the trick...

However Lady arrived a month ago having lived out for months and naturally finding a whole new person & environment stressful I figured it wouldn't hurt to give this a try when her droppings where super loose. Within a couple of days her droppings were back to normal consistency. I also noticed that when I changed her from hay to haylege that there was no change in her droppings which usually I find horses always get loose with this change - so that was a bonus! I kept her on the supplement as I found her coat was horrendous and figured it may help get her skin sorted from the inside out and a month on there's a massive difference!

I'm over the moon with the results of this supplement, I've tried so many in the past and found they've not given me any noticeable results so a strong 10/10 given here. I'm very keen to try out their joint support for her now as she's super clicky.
*Big thumbs up!*

Review - Le Mieux Snug Boots


I have a long, long list of which 'breathable' boots that won't overheat the legs yet offer a good amount of support/protection. Finding something that fit's Silk's tiny thin Thoroughbred legs was also proving difficult.

I spotted these in my local tack shop a good few months ago and bought them as an impulse buy - expecting them to be another added to the list of disappointment!

How could I be so wrong! For the first surprise they actually fit Silk, not just a fit we get away with but actually fit so 'snug' as the name puts it. I took her out on a hack and was surprised to find her legs weren't warm at all when we got back.

Now those that have been following us a while will know Silk has a previous tendon injury from her racing days, so I'm super paranoid about her legs and I know them better than the back of my hand - but I still figured this must just be a fluke.

They have a flexible and breathable outer which also has a harder outer over the tendon giving excellent protection in the areas that matter most. They also have a fantastic quick release fasten which is super secure too.

The next time I tried these out I schooled Silk, naturally there was some warmth in her legs from working harder/faster but still nothing like they've been in any other boots.

I've since used these boots on Carlos when I had him, both in the school & hacking. And Lady has been lunged and schooled in them. Neither of them have ever had hot legs after taking them off (even with how thick Lady's coat is). They actually fit them both like a glove-like on Silk too! I have to say I'm absolutely over the moon.

These boots come in black and in white, they're super easy to keep clean but they also wash & dry well for those times they do get minging.

I'm tempted to buy some of these now for Lady in white for warming up in dressage competitions.
