The fields are soaked, time for the winter routine (Perspective is everything) / Equestrian VLOG
Winter is here for Ravers Mead ... booooooo! 😂😭 And yes, I know that winter hasn't officially begun yet, but I associate winter and the 'winter routine' with a lack of grazing and our fields are absolutely saturated and un-useable now following from that most recent storm (man didn't it chuck it down!?).
The weather has been crazy lately, but after watching some of the videos from people who had to endure hurricane Helene, I have realized that our 'floods' are mere puddles in comparison. And despite our near constant grumbling over here in the UK, we really are very lucky that our weather doesn't try to kill us on a regular basis!

Creating new & more sustainable routines (hacking & chatting) / Equestrian VLOG
มุมมอง 180วันที่ผ่านมา
Welcome to another hacking & chatting video guys. Not really a horsey one today but more of a chat about trying to regain control over my life. Summer feels like it has been so busy (even though we haven't really done anything) and now the darker nights are rolling in I have been feeling so overwhelmed and so tired all of the time, so I decided it was time for a change up. Videos will likely be...
Are we finally fixing Blue's feet? / Equestrian VLOG
มุมมอง 62214 วันที่ผ่านมา
So, it turns out that Blue getting laminitis may have given us a little push into fixing another chronic problem we have had with him over the years, which is his hoof wall separation. While researching laminitis I stumbled on some information about white line disease and hoof wall separation as apparently horses who have had laminitis can be more susceptible because of the weakened structures ...
Another storm and an unimpressed Woodster / Equestrian VLOG
มุมมอง 53721 วันที่ผ่านมา
Welcome back guys, it feels like it's been forever, but it's only been a week! I got caught out in another storm the other day (thankfully a much tamer one than last time!) but it did still ruin my plans for the afternoon. The rain did calm down a little eventually though so I decided to go ahead and lunge poor Woodster who was VERY unamused with his situation! Everybody else got off the hook 😂...

Welcome to part 2 of Blue's laminitis recovery journey. I'm pleased to say that everything is still moving in the right direction with Blue (this video is a few weeks late and he's doing really great now, there will be another update coming soon). This video covers up to about day 18 ish ... I think ... I'm really not good at remembering stuff like this, sorry guys! It was getting on for 3 week...

Awww be nice! He can understand you!
I know he can ... Funnily enough though since I had this talk with him, he hasn't actually stuck his nose on the fence and zapped himself!
Love his lip switches😊
It is very cute ... He'd love you to believe he's cute and innocent 😂
Sorry you are now in the winter routine, we have had a lot of rain recently. I agree when you compare our weather to certain parts of the USA recently does put our slightly wet/windy days in to perspective.
@@EJMEQUESTRIAN it does indeed, we are very lucky to not have killer weather
Oh I love a time lapse
Me too ❤️
Oh yeah, editing's a shit tonne of work!! Extremely time consuming.
@@sunflowerhillhomesteadaust7887 it can be ... Tis why I try to keep my videos short and edit them on the day so it's fresh in my mind. I have no idea how people put out hour long or more videos on a regular basis!
Zašto na kiši😮😢😢
I honestly love all of the animals <3 The shetland is just adoreble <3 It's crazy that winter is upon us. The weather here has been horrible, cold and wet. I feel this year has gone by so fast. And all the rainstorms that are coming and passing.... I just say: we are going towards summer again (trying to be positive haha).
@@VeronicaEquestrienne love the positivity ❤️ lets hope summer 2025 is a good one
All good babies!! 🥳
Some of the USA have had it really bad with the weather, l think storm Milton was a mega storm, it’s just devastating, and as they said in the Game of Thrones “winter is coming”, and l don’t know if you can toilet train horses 😂, tfs x Julie
@@juliederry3719 so bad, the devastation is unreal ☹️ well ... I did once know a lady who trained her horse to pee in a bucket. I have no idea how though 🤷
@@raversmead WHAT 😮 to pee in a bucket!? clever horse x
Happy to hear that you’re taking care of yourself Ravers, it’s so important otherwise you’ll burn out, and Nelly was a good girl as usual, tfs x Julie
I think I did burn out tbh, took that for me to realise! Nelly is the best ... So steady and reliable. You always know what you will get from a Nelly ride ❤️
Loved the equence of events from Blue's future interaction with the fence from 12:55. 🤣 Thoughts go out to all those who suffered hurricane Helene and Milton, as you say we are lucky our weather is generally just miserable and generally not lethal. Not sure if you follow them or not, but would check out Carmella Abel - Equine Helper, they've just started doing a trial ride throughout the US with their horses and it's brilliant to follow them along.
@@martyp2138 it was an accurate prediction 🤣
I love your set up. Watch Clever Cow Girl. She is ace.
We already do. I'm a Nige the Unicorn fan, r u?
@@DiSWRwow77 I will check it out ❤️

@DiSWRwow77 oh right yes thought you were on about another channel 😃. She has done a great thing for a sassy little old man. Love little Nigel 🐎.
Sweet😊
❤️
Makes a lot of sense; only so many hours in a day!!
Feels like there is never enough of them too!
Olé! 😂
😂
That rain was crazy.
Did it chuck it down where you are too? My boots are still wet from that downpour ... It's been days 😂
Cute. Very brave Nelly!
He was such a cute little dude ❤️
My goodness 5 hours asleep is not enough, glad your taking some time for yourself and re structuring your days. Sleep is so important. If I even have a couple of late nights I can’t cope.
Don't I know it ☹️ But the daft thing was that I just didn't realise! I just kept ploughing on getting more and more tired (and grumpy). It's so easy to just keep doing things and not realise how much of your time it's consuming
I am only 2 minutes in to your video and you may mention later on I don't know yet but have you had a full blood count done? I have hypothyroidism and physically can't function without my medication to the point I would have to sleep before I could even perform a normal task. You're description is very similar especially with the eating etc..
@@PonyFunWithCloverJasmine I have had bloods done multiple times but it always comes back ok, apparently. We have thyroid problems in our family so it's always on my radar. I also wonder about vitamin deficiencies, but I do try my best to eat well and stay balanced so unless I have some kind of dysfunction that depletes certain vitamins, I can't see how that could be. My body is a mystery.
@raversmead hmm how strange 🤔 mind you I can't function without 9 hours sleep even with my medication. Sleep is my saviour!
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇯🇲🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Glad you are taking care of yourself. extra money is always nice, but sometimes you have to put yourself first
Absolutely, there has to be balance
Everything you said makes sense. Sleep is so important. She was sluggish to begin with wasn't she, but livened up. Hope this week isn't too wet. I may need see a chiropractor or osteopath for my shoulder but it's finding a good one, as previously I've had good & not so good experiences. Yes sometimes overtime/extra money just isn't worth it in the long run when u balance your own needs. Nice canter. Luv hearing the robin singing away at the beginning.
So important ❤️ I hope you manage to find someone to help you out
Im constantly tired, my vit B12 regularly goes low, which causes a lot of the issues...but there's also the problem of eating enough to keep my body functioning. It takes a lot of effort to be chronically ill! I sussed that out a few months ago and started eating more on the days I go shopping (which is a 3 mile round trip, on foot), and the extra calories deffo helped. Thus morning I didn't eat as much as I should have (because I needed to get into town and back before it started raining again), and by 'eck I'm suffering for it now!! It was also very warm, so that didn't help! I also have a wonky pelvis, haven't been to a chiropractor about it, not sure there's anyone near me, and travelling is a huge problem for me..
Crikey that sounds like hard work ☹️ how do you deal with the B12 issues? I keep wondering if this is part of my problem with the fatigue
@@raversmead it's tough, but I'm Gen X, so I just get in with it! Doctor can check your bloods, and if the B12 is low they'll give you injections. A few years ago they changed the numbers as to what was considered low, from 500 something something to 200 something something, which is completely ridiculous. A lot of GPs don't even think it's a problem! I buy a spray that you squirt on the inside of your cheek which is better than nothing, but the doc won't give me the injections any more...
Great vid
@@susanm3503 thankyou ❤️
Blue is looking great. You’ve got a whole hoof care station going on there. 🤩 Thank goodness you’ve got the stand to save your back. Your metal hook pick thing is great!
I know it's a bit ridiculous when I look at our yard atm 😂 he's got so good with it all though and it really does seem to be working 🤞
My new loan, he also need his hoofs cleaned every day and with something called Optima wash we use on the hoofs. I'm so happy to see Blue getting better and he gets so much good care <3 <3
@@VeronicaEquestrienne on no does he have the same problem as Blue? Do you have a link for the wash? I can't find it and am curious 😊
Just got to the end of the video! You’ve done such an incredible job!!! ❤️
@@hannahm1256 thankyou ❤️
I need you to find me the name of the little silver pick!!! You are now my enabler 🤣 you’re such a good coblet mum ❤️ and equally the ADHD brain comes in handy! His feet are your current fixation 😂 xx
They are 'hook and pick set for removing o-rings , seals and gaskets' Set of four tools , from eBay , really cheap. Actually garage tools , but if it works use it 😊
@@hannahm1256 the crazy brain can be a blessing and a curse 🤣 and this for the tool 👆
@@ianfriend1398thank you!!
@@raversmeadit really can 😅 x
Your perseverance, tenacity and care has paid off. Lesson to us all. Well done!
@@keithsimpson2697 thankyou 💕
His feet are looking really great. Angel has crappy feet too. Definitely need to do some kind of maintenance on them
@@PonyFunWithCloverJasmine poor Angel. Although there seems to be a pattern here ... Sweet itch, crappy feet, problematic personality 😂 they are two peas in a pod Blue and Angel!
"It's chaos!" says Demi...would even been a Raversmead vlog without a healthy dose of chaos?! 😂😂 I'd be scared to start poking around at a horse's hooves, I'm glad to hear it doesn't do any damage!! My horse doesnt have back shoes, and I'm always a bit dainty about cleaning his back hooves out! 😂
@@Siobhan_Shivaun it's always chaos around here 🤣🤣🤣 I'm still a bit nervous about it tbh, I just have to keep reminding myself what the farrier does to their hooves. I always used to tip toe around flappy bits of frog for example, and then the farrier comes along and hacks it straight off with a knife 😂 the more I started thinking about stuff like that the less I was worrying
@@raversmead IKR?! You see what the farrier does and think the horse isn't going to have any feet left!!! 🤣
Haha peppermint to the eye! What are you like
@@PonyFunWithCloverJasmine someone who never learns 🤣
Omg I hate Stockholm tar it is the worst. It's so sticky 😅
@@PonyFunWithCloverJasmine but it smells sooooo good ❤️ I did somehow get it all over my keys the other day though. My house keys 🤷🤦
@@raversmead 😂
You're very inspiring in your attention to detail and consistency (haha or stubborn as you Say ) ~with his hoof problem ! My Cob has a few hoof problems and I become a bit discouraged with progress ~partly because i'm not diligent enough! Thanks for the inspiration!
Well it did take the horrible realisation that this problem can have the same end results as laminitis (pedal bone rotation 😳). I think I was living in blissful ignorance until I read that. I know exactly what you mean about becoming discouraged, it can be so up and down dealing with this and sometimes in the past I have wondered if what we were doing even made any difference. I think this time we are finally moving in the right direction though 🤞
Very good demonstration on how to treat this condition thank you
Thankyou ❤️
Amazing keep it up they look fabulous ❤
Thanks ❤️
So sweet😊
