She is a ten year old mare by Cash Customer (coloured) out of Lisette (sports horse). I have done a good bit of showjumping with her and decided to put her in foal last year. She is currently in foal to a horse called Defi Platiere who jumped at the Athens olympics. All going well she should foal in June 2009.

Create your own barrier cream for muddy conditions: 10 drops tea tree oil, zinc oxide cream 50g or Sudocream, vaseline (10-20g) or half the amount of sudocream. Mix together and apply to heels.<br /><br />2. Use up remaining ends of saddlesoap by putting them in a container with a small amount of milk and microwave until soap melts. Stir thoroughly and leave to set. Makes a rich soft soap which is easy to use.<br /><br />3. Dandruff in you horses coat after clipping? Use a handful of breadsoda in some warm water and sponge solution on affected areas. Leaves coat shining.<br /><br />More to come!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1556957284676572530-8599373444909398017?l=horseswest.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gillianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677130741347251391noreply@blogger.com0
