Does anyone know of any livery in or around the areas of Oakwood, Elvaston, Borrowash, Shardlow, Risley?? I need somewhere in between my house and my work in Nottingham which is just off junction 26 of the m1. I've been searching and searching and nothing is coming up!!

After moving to the Oakwood area of Derby from Nottingham it would appear there is a lack of livery yards or I just don't know where to look!!! I would like to be as close to Oakwood as possible but will travel if needed. Stables are a must as with a ménage, ideally turnout would be in very...

I have a 15.3h Sec D gelding who lives off fresh air and is now currently looking rather to large! He is currently boxed and come off the grass completely due to his massive crest and fat pockets im thinking this could potentially be EMS as he ticks quite a few boxes for the symptons. He is...

Aw im keeping my fingers crossed that you get your third year running! I will do some reasearch into Ivermectin and maybe drop it into conversation with my vets, thanks for your advice!!

I have read about the salt therapy and seen a few horses using it on facebook but I am sceptical but maybe after last year I need to be more open to ideas! I don't think the injection will be an option I took her to the vets a couple of times last year and they never mentioned it just gave me...
