Hi Midlings is a product from wheat. We have the flour from the middle, next layer is called Midlings, (perhaps it's a Norfolk term) the outer layer is bran. so it's high fibre and without checking the bag (it's in the yard and it's raining) I think it's about 9 % protein. I should think it's like us eating pasta. I must admit I've only bought it from feed merchants I haven't seen it in tack shops.
Like the idea of no saddle but my mare's bit sharp I'm sure I would be walking home !!!

I was looking at buying some rosehip supplements both for me and the horses to ward off those creaky joints. Then I realised I had a garden full of rosehips this year, so I collected them dried them in the oven overnight on a very low heat, ground them up and hooray, free supplements!! How did you manage to remove the insides of the rosehips? Remember as a kid how we used to collect and dry rosehips to make itching powder.

lots of really useful ideas here, just going out to pick some rosehips myself for syryp & will dry some too for the beastie to have in the winter. I have started collecting paper from the neighbours too as straw is a bit short in supply this yr.
