Tess and Tintin's latest blog: It's still winter!

First of all we are very excited to be part of the Forest Farmacy squad and being able to use the wide range of natural supplements for our horses.

So finally the season is approaching, no more snow, lovely sunny days and perfect going. That is our wish list for this year! We have been really lucky this winter as our neighbours have been so kind to let us use their fantastic indoor school - what a treat! The horses are back in full work and so far they are looking good (which really should be expected when the season hasn't even started yet..)

This season will be interesting as our little daughter Iris, now 10 months probably will have started to walk by then, making her parents even more busy than ususal at the competitions. Our first outing will probably be at Tweseldown with a couple of horses, hope the spring has arrived by then! But before that we will do lots of show jumping, dressage and more fitness work.

We have had some good results with the Forest Farmacy products, I tried Power against Pain on my retired advance horse who injured a low ligament which couldn't be treated and after a couple of weeks he was sound as a bell. We have also just started a couple of horses on Joint Power and it will be interesting to see the results. We have one horse with sweet itch and one with skin problems so watch this space for updates!
