I can't believe we are already into the second week of July! Unfortunately along with this fine weather come the flies, arrgh! We stock quite a range of fly sprays, and of course garlic which is meant to help keep the flies away. I don't think there is a hard and fast rule regarding the fly sprays, what works for one does not necessarily work for the other. I have found that the Carr Day & Martin wipes have been good for my ponies, just around their eyes and along their belly lines and "bits"!! I don't know how long it is effective for, but it makes me feel better that I have done something to relieve their torment! <br /><br /> We have all been busy on the farm with Hay and haylage making, and are very pleased with what we have got in so far. Bill is out mowing more as I write, so fingers crossed this fine weather stays for at least a week!! <br /><br /> Our big bale haylage is £45.00 and our small bale hay is £7.00 collected, £7.50 delivered, as it has been since last November! We do not as yet have any big bale hay, but hope to rectify that soon! It has proved very popular during the last year as it is much more cost effective. We always try to get your big bales delivered into exactly the spot you would like them, but this is not always possible, and neither Lisa nor myself should be trying to move them once they are off the transit. Please, when you order, have a look at where you would like them to be dropped and see if you would be able to get them there.... I think some of you might be surprised! <br /><br /> I am hearing about quite a lot of laminitis cases, so please be careful, for the sake of your horses/ponies. It is important not to starve those prone to laminitis as this can cause further problems. There are plenty of products on the market which are suitable for providing fibre in the diet. <a href='http://www.dengie.com/pages/products/alfa-a-and-hi-fi-ranges/hi-fi-lite.php' target='_blank'>Dengie Hi-Fi Lite</a> is a suitable chaff which can extend mealtimes or used for the forage ration. <a href='http://www.topspec.com/products/detail/?product_id=21' target='_blank'>Top Spec Top Chop Lite</a> which is designed to do the same job but very useful for those horses which cannot tolerate molasses as it has a light soya oil coating instead. <br /><br /> </p> <p>If a high fibre nut is required we stock several as follows:</p><br /> <table width="100%" align="center"> <tr> <td bordercolor="#000000"><div align="center"><img src="http://www.bjdance.co.uk/images/APFF.jpg" width="140" height="251" /></div></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><div align="center"><img src="http://www.bjdance.co.uk/images/BEHFC.jpg" width="140" height="251" /></div></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><div align="center"><img src="http://www.bjdance.co.uk/images/DHHFC.jpg" /></div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><div align="center"><strong>Allen &amp; Page Fast Fibre</strong><br /></div></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><div align="center"><strong>Baileys Everyday High Fibre Cube</strong><br /></div></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><p align="center"><strong>Dodson &amp; Horrell High Fibre Nuts</strong><br /></p></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="30%" valign="top"> Suitable for all horses and ponies. <br /> Takes just 30 &#8211; 60 seconds to soak. <br /> Very high fibre, low starch, low sugar. <br /> Fast Fibre is also barley and molasses free and is ideal for the good doer or for horses who tend to be hyper even on low energy feeds.
