Looking forward to the third day, can’t believe we are already half way through. The first two days have been excellent, lots of good stories from the big races. I’m getting worried about the going though, is anyone there and can give us an up to date opinion on how bad the going is ?

Just how good is Noble Yeats, I thought talk of the Gold Cup was a bit optimistic but not anymore.

Last day and Gold Cup Day ? who do you think will win it ?

I have a puppy, just 5 months and he’s very unwell. Hoping someone has had similar and a good outcome. He’s slept all weekend, eating not enthusiastically but still eating. He has very sore eyes which is a symptom not a cause and is not himself at all. Anyone got any ideas, I just can’t lose...

Best sight of the day was him getting up ....I hope he can come back to last seasons heights but mainly I’m just happy that he’s alive !

Has anyone tried this with their dog ? I’m considering using it but I’d love to hear anyone else’s experience with it and if it helped ?

Who would have thought he could come back as a chaser ? What a horse !

This morning my 3 year old kelpie had a fit, a full blown fit out on a walk. It might be a second one, a few weeks ago he had an episode which we weren’t sure about but that wasn’t the case today. Anyone with any experiences ?

Just after some opinions on what might be a numpty question about female dogs attracting males.....my dog is very interested in a local gsd who apparently has been spayed but still regularly gives off the scent of a bitch in heat. Is this possible ? My dog is entire and has never shown any...

Thought you might be interested in the novice hurdle race at Kempton today, first run of precious cargo for Henderson and a winning one ! He was favourite so must be going well at home x

Worth waking up at dawn every time ! What a horse, the best ever ?

There is a mare for sale for £40 000 who doesn’t seem to have done very much ! Any takers ?

Surprised no one has posted about his race today, that was the most amazing flat race I ever seen and probably the best horse I have ever seen, just awesome......no one could argue now that he's not the best horse in the world.

I have an old collie who has been unwell on and off for the last couple of weeks and I'm uncertain of what to do for the best with her? She's up and down, seems to be getting better and then worse again, can dogs have bowel cancer ? She has been passing blood some days, sometimes a lot...

I am looking for a new dog and ideally want an adult/young dog who needs a new home. Always had collies and still have one but she's 16 and obviously slowing down. I live on a canal tow path and do a lot of walking and some running and so I want a dog that would be happy to run for an hour or...

Just musing after watching the racing yesterday and today, his horses are in a different league, the 4 winners were unchallenged and look more or less unbeatable. What's he doing that nobody else is ? Must be hard for the British trainers to know that come the big races they have no chance ?

Has anyone got any experience of vestibular syndrome in their dog ? My dog has had this for 4 days and any experiences good or bad would be much appreciated as I try to reach a decision on what to do ?

My collie has pyometra and I feel guilty that I didn't notice anything until she was very unwell. Even with hindsight yesterday she seemed fine and I woke this morning to a very ill dog that went downhill by the hour. She never went off her food or seemed different in any way although I imagine...

On a hopefully brighter point than the whip thread, He's back tomorrow, weather permitting....would be amazing to see that he's still invincible but I have my doubts. Any predictions ?

Just read that the 6 month girl killed last week was attacked by an American Pitbull, no great surprise there, sadly. There seems to be more and more reports of serious attacks in the media and considering the act is now over 20 years old, it clearly isn't working. Surely more needs to be done...

Just pondering really as I'm not concerned but would love to know the reason for my dog's twice yearly cruelty case look ! She's a tall, black/grey/white collie with a coat like a husky, always healthy and lively but when she's casting her coat, as she is now, along with losing huge amounts of...

Just wondering if anyone knows of any properties to rent, preferably Edinburgh area but anywhere considered. Need 2/3 bedrooms and grazing nearby, really need to move from where I am now, can't find anywhere suitable .....going a bit crazy here, anyone help ?

Anyone going ? If anyone fancies it we have a spare horse and no rider for him......bit late but worth a try. Must be an experienced rider, pm me if you are interested.

Was going to reply on the national fatality thread but it's getting so bogged down with statistics that I thought I'd start another.... It is unimportant what the figures are, they are low, deaths happen, it's sad but it's part of owning horses no matter what they do. We breed horses...

Just thought after all the doom and gloom national threads I would ask who is looking forward to seeing him this afternoon and is there anyone who can see him being beaten as he has to go further today ? For myself, I think he is in a league of his own !

Just wondering if anyone knows a tb mare was/is known as grace, didn't have a reg name as unraced. She's approx 16 hands, middleweight, bright bay with a large cresty neck ! Sold a couple of years ago in the Edinburgh area and would love to know how she is now ...thanks if you can help

Been reading all the grand national threads and thought I would add my own experience as I was in the position of having a horse killed in a field who I replaced with a horse who was killed racing....which one did I feel guilty about ? That's easy, the horse that broke a leg in the field...

Apologies to anyone who has one but I was wondering whether it's possible to have a white gsd that is ok both temperament wise and physically ? To add to my numptiness, are they bred from 2 white parents or can they ever just appear in a normal colour litter ?

Bit of a long shot but wondered if anyone lives near Edinburgh and fancied doing the Edinburgh Common ride this sunday as rider for pony has dropped out. Pony in question is very experienced, forward going but sensible but only 14.2 ish so rider must be lightweight. All day ride so you would...

I have a decent western saddle doing nothing ...thinking about selling it but no idea where or what value, if any they have....can anyone help ?
