The RSPCA will probably not do anything. They keep over 100 horses there and the other man arrested is the man who takes in and rehomes those horses for the RSPCA so he is really an RSPCA worker. He has a license to slaughter becasuse he often does with the RSPCA cases and he is also in...

My friend opened a tack shop a couple of years ago and didn't make it through the year. The main problem she found wasn't custom but was the bigger shops such a ride away demanding exclusivity in the area from suppliers so it was very difficult for her to stock the range of brands that people...

Im in YO30 and I use Pete Rowley, his number is 07816275305. He is great, honest friendly and knows what he is doing.

I dont know how to post a pic! I cant find a button lol....

Ah ok, I wasn't sure, thanks, I am used to riding Applaoosas, hence the name! I would have entered her in M and M classes so I am glad I asked!

well I am used to riding a 16.2 so it just felt very different, maybe rather than saying I felt too big, she felt very small!

oh good another reply that I like! I know people say that Natives and M and M's etc can carry more weight but I just felt so big on her when I tried her. I got used to it after a while! Are Hafflingers technically M and M's or am I wrong?

Thanks that is what I was hoping! Everyone at my yard tells me I look fine but they all know the woman who is selling the horse too and they are my friends so not sure if they are being honest!

Hi everyone, I am just looking for some opinions. I have found a horse, well pony that I would really like to buy and she is perfect for me in every way. She is a 14.1 Hafflinger, so yes a pony but a sturdy and wide one. At 5 foot 6 and just under 11 stone would I be too big for this...

I talked about it on the phone to my vet and he did not seem familiar with the condition which seemed strange but he said he would do some research. Yes I think turning him away is the best option but I am so pleased that I came on here and can see that other people think it is the right choice...

yay you found me! Thanks lovely xxx

I am wondering if shoes off and turning him away would be a good option, I just don't think I can put him through more box rest, he has had a lifetimes worth in two years and as its summer he would be pretty much by himself 24/7 which is just awful, thanks for your replies

Yes he is an appy, do you know if you can test for DSLD? I did get him five stage vetted so not sure if it would have been checked then, thanks

Hi everyone, I am having to make a really difficult decision and would like to know what people think. My gorgeous boy and my first horse Tonto a 10 year old Appaloosa who I bought two years ago is constantly having leg issues. He has had problems with his coffin joints, fetlocks, suspensories...

Hi everyone, I am finally in a place where I can upgrade my yaris to something able to pull a trailer. But it does not seem as simple as I first thought! I was looking at a BMW x3 but now thinking that may not be substancial. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on good 4x4's for pulling...
