No doubt, we all have quick and easy ways of doing all sorts of things with our horses (often, they are the inexpensise ways too!). Infact, these tricks are so instinctive, it's sometimes even difficult to identify what they are! But they are fascinating to share. So wrack your brains for those little gems and spill the beans!
Saving money
I've been cutting my own hair for nearly ten years now, I'm often asked where did I get it done as it looks so nice.

Quick, easy & cheap ways of doing things
Now my poor mare has to come in at night (no one else out in the field to be with) I leave her in her stable with her turnout on, so it's quick and easy to chuck her out early in the morning and she doesn't get a chill from me changing rugs, especially as she is fully clipped out.

Haylage
"it can be a pain soaking hay, you can put a whole bale in a bath and let the water drain away before you want it, or use a small dustbin which can be tipped over, i think the hay steamer is too hi tech in the long term, what you really want is to wash away soils and allergy producing pollens i am sure a system can be devised in most yards.
