Well I am a tight arse when it comes to money. However not normally with sox He gets whatever he needs.
However for personal reasons I am needing to save money as a whole really. Trying to cut down ( ciggs) is going to be quite a challenge!!!
I don't want to skimp on things I really need. I wish I could get his feed bill down. But then trust me to get a big horse that needs much more calories then the 'normal' big horse!!
Our yard supplies hay and straw in with the bill. The hay is rye grass which for a lami prone I was worried... he is eating the grass and the hay is made at home.. But it doesn't matter as he isn't eating that hay anyway!!! He prefers the meadow hay, softer stuff. Also, his lordship is getting stressed out with a current stubborn abscess so is therefore losing weight!! So he is on haylage with hay... however he is only eating the damn haylage!!!
So I was thinking if I could give him either the adlib hay or adlib haylage. Its a £10 more if its the haylage. In the future if he is holding I could ever so slightly reduce his feed bill , slightly. Only if he is holding a decent weight etc. Just looking at ways to save money... I can bike to yard yet my tires are flat!!
Also... my insurance is through the roof and I really want to try to save some on that. With petplan, their bloody good. Most of the time. However his insurance is a lot more then I would like! On the bright side. I have finally decided that I shall be a qualified vet ( The vet often says I should be given sox ) and we haven't seen a vet since his jabs... 2 months ago!
