I’m so sorry, big hugs but at least you know now.

I would say I tell a lot of people I know it’s an expensive way to make yourself miserable! No shame in selling and finding something more for you!

Hmmm well I don’t know about him not returning deposits tbh as never got that far in the process with him, I just said I think him requesting a deposit is reasonable. Whether that’s for viewing or trial. I took a 20% deposit for my horse to go on trial so a lot more then £250. But at the end...

Honestly to me sudden change in behaviour with no discernible cause? Vet time. Could be something silly like needing an adjustment, or soft tissue, or ulcers and the like. It may be the start so she’s only exhibiting symptoms solo hacking as right now staying with the herd or in “safe” spaces...

I have a tale which make anyone praying for a late growth spurt feel better! I bought my Suffolk at 5/6 years old and he was 17.1 ish, massive head that looked a little big got him, measured him at 8 at 18.2. 🙃 he wasn’t poor when bought and had always been in good health! Warmbloods can be slow...

I would honestly send him away for a bit let him go get an education away from “mum”, if they can have him in a small herd with a range of ages, perfect! Older horses will teach him about space/respect, younger ones will play with him and help he learn to explore. The pro will be able to extend...

Poor pony! Hope you can get her settled and happy again!

So happy for you that it’s been approved! Fingers crossed you get an answer, and you have a clear path. I had a fairly young horse who was a mystery till MRI, he was walking to meet as I walked down the drive next to his field, I turned round to call the dog, turned back and he was on three...

When I was selling I was going to send my horse on sales livery. I found CD very easy and up front when I enquired, and same when I was trying to find a horse for a friend. They were above budget but he was lovely and honest about what he had in that would be in budget, I told him what she...

Or black and white but that horse’s colour as a band around? Then it’s a little splash of colour without being too much? And easy to redo if you move them about!

I had a filly who was needle shy and hated vets. When she needed her wolf teeth out the vet gave me dom gel to pre-sedate her as she wouldn’t have managed to get her sedated. In the end so was so out on it she only needed local. She didn’t even know the vet was there. So if you wanted the vet...

This was a few years ago and she was too straight off the boat! I think there’s always a few absolute diamonds at the sales if you’re willing to take a chance!

I think anyone buying from sales needs to be ready to handle all the possibilities of what they might get, I actually spoke to someone at Brecon who was looking at the cob I took for someone and she was after a pony for the grand kids. I explained what green ment, we shook hands and despite her...

I just saw the mare on market watch. What a bloody shame. But people have no shame. Breaks my heart but I can’t have a mare. 😭 Can’t see the prices on the link but I may be being thick.

Was about to ask if anyone is there and what the prices are like!
