I agree with you, I bought my first horse after I had been riding about a year, and although it was a huge learning curve I think I looked after my horse better than a lot of people that had owned them for years. x

Been trying to find a home for my 14.2hh gelding welsh D X but finding it really difficult, does anyone know where I can find a permanent home for him asap? Thank you

I know it isnt her fault and she really does care about him, its just I had owned him for 3 years and ended up not riding him for a year as I totally lost my confidence and am not experienced enough to ride and sort his problems. So thought I had found a home for life for him, which took a long...

Hi A month ago I loaned out my project horse, he basically needed rebreaking. The person I loaned to rode him on his worst day (rainy and very windy) so got to see him at his worse, as he bronks and bucks badly. He did several bad bronks and bucks when she rode so she saw what he could do...

Thats so young. poor pony. fingers are crossed for you and pony.

In the long run it is better to find the money from somewhere now, as if not you are going to keep on paying for him, which if you borrowed some money then you could pay it back with the money you would save from his upkeep. Horrible situation though.

That last mare is stunning!

Basically I am going to be looking for a new horse in the future and wondered are mares mostly always unaffectionate and mareish? I have had a mare breifly before I got my gelding and she was very unaffectionate and would kick or bite if she had the chance. So basically do cuddly friendly mares...

Could she be used as a field companion or turned away for a while as she has obviously been through a lot in her life and deserves some tlc

I would reccomend Westover, they are great and really care about the animals.

My boy had a sarcoid on his hind leg, the vet used a band around it as well as the liverpool cream and it went really quickly and has never come back. It cost about £300 in total with vet callouts as the vet had to come and put the cream on as he said it is very strong cream. But very pleased...

Hi I have just put my horse on loan and am looking to have some lessons to improve my riding, so wondered if anyone can reccomend any good/advanced riding schools in the norfolk/suffolk area? Or does anyone know if any trainers/instructors offer lessons on their own horses? Thanks

I have got a good contract in place and am going to go back in a couple of weeks to see how he is getting on. He was so good today though, he hasn't been in a trailer in over 2 years and is still only 6yrs old and he walked straight on. Then he munched his way through hay the whole way as took...
