Oh hey - I remember your username :) I don't have the yard anymore, funnily enough given the topic of this post, the land owners failed on numerous promises and I was unsure I could safely get the horses through the next winter as I could no longer guarantee getting hay to them in the fields, so...

Not been on tis site for years, but have been signposted to this. I have been quite guarded in what I have posted on SM about this, as initially wanted to ensure the RSPCA involvement wasn't hampered, but my first post did put me in contact with an old friend at WHW and they are fully aware of...

Classic Astra, PM me if you're on Facebook...I know just the horse!

Just popping in to say best of luck for Thursday. Sounds like you are just eager and the sellers are careful and professional. It all sounds kind of perfectly, innocently lovely to me so I really hope the horse passes for you xx

Excellent news PS. Have to agree though...we deffo need pics xxx

I'm so sorry to read this :( xxx

Colic is the C word of the equine world. It doesn't discriminate, it just does, as and when it likes. As said above, it's any abdominal pains. Whilst a PM can tell you why it happened, it can't that it happened, so don't worry about not having one done. The best we can do is make timely...

I have absolutely loved following your journey with her this past year. She has done so much more than just help to mend your heart. Xx

Firstly, congratulations. Wonderful news. As for the tack, I'd probably just get it out for a clean once a month myself but what you've said should work too.

Oh my goodness...Herbie is adorable. How are you? I sent you a pm a few days ago xxx
