Meaux Track Livery - MTL

Do we think this mane is British Dressage ready?

*Check out our story*

As always I'm a bit late, but I just thought I'd share a proper round up of mine and Bertie Area Festival. We had a great couple of days at Port Royal we did our Bronze Elementary on the Thursday and came 10th with a great score of 64% we didn't get a photo on the day so the rosette pic is actually from Saturday. With lots of help to try and get Bertie to put his ears forward.... Safe to say he likes photos as much as I do 🤣.
Saturday we did Silver Novice and despite the judges maybe not appreciating Bertie's tries as much as I do I thought he did a great test! We came away with 65% and no rosette. But a great day and lots to learn.
Thanks to my staff who hold down the fort at home and the great liveries who come and support me and all of our outside support team you guys know who you are it definitely takes a village.

Track horses and sweetich

In our experience on our track, horses with sweetich still itch bt not to the point of bleeding or breaking the skin. None of our horses need fly rugs. We use fly sprays and other lotions etc to keep the itching to a minimum. But historically these horses have been rugged 24/7 kept away from fly's by being stables (all good practice) etc.
Does anyone know why or have any good guesses why track horses seem to be less irritated or affected by sweetich when they move to a track system as opposed to stable and field situation even if that field included friends.
I've got a couple of thoughts but I wondered if you guys had anything other ideas?

We had the wonderful Jen from Equinutrition to come and discuss our horses weights and feeding plans. Sadly some of our horses weights hadn't changed in the direction we would have liked..... But all horses body condition scores had improved. So we are headed in the right direction. As a yard owner and horse owner it's good to get an outside opinion regularly to make sure we are headed in the correct direction.

Thanks Jen.

I really do have the best liveries. Myself and my staff don't always get time to do the tidying jobs, I'll be honest they are usually last on my jobs list. Whilst I was away competing a group of liveries tidied up the inside of the arena and leveled the edges. Today a livery sorted out the outside as it was too warm to ride.
Thanks guys you are the best.
Thanks Hannah

One of my lovely liveries cut a load of nettles and thistles from the track for the horses. Our horses don't like to eat nettles until they have died or wilted for a couple of hours. So we netted them up and popped a few nets into our hay boxes. The horses loved them. 💕💕
