    Robinsons have a deal coming up I threw mine away as you had to spend £80 to qualify. Are there any people down at your yard you can get an order together with?

    Yarp. I saw the recent Equine Warehouse Saley things going on and when you read the small print, you have to spend bonzabucks to get the deal. So I didn't bother. Boo Hiss.

    Drat it lucielle!! you've just reminded me I need to buy the Captain one of those masks with the yashmak style nose covers. He has a pale pink velvet nose which always burns...Think they cost about £35 :eek:
    This may be a bit OS Piq, but could you make one? He'd be the pride of the stables!

    I'm not sure I'm that talented, for starters! I can knit a scarf.....

    As it is when I buy the fly mask I'll have to alter the ears. The Captain has little devil horn ears, and all the masks make him look like a donkey :rotfl:

    He needs the yashmak bit on the mask for the UV protection, can't have him with a burnt nose, what would all his ladies say?

    When I was the (front) of a pantomime horse we made him a yashmak-thingy with beads and things for one scene because it was in the desert - I didn't think they really existed :rotfl::rotfl:
    (mine was on a bit of elastic, that's probably not good enough for a real horse :o)

    I bet he would look stunning in a beaded yashmak! Very secure with himself :D.
    Payday soon Piq :cool:

    It's a lot less painful, thankyou and movement isn't as restricted as I thought it would be, so all in all - good!

    He'd happily wear it! He wears flashing antlers for Christmas rides and has bells in his tail...

    I always imagine you as very elegant Olive, not pantomime horse material at all! You'll probably have hamster fantisizing about you now :rotfl:

    The yashmak thingy is to give a little UV protection to his delicate snozzle, it burns very easily!
