I'd get her eyes checked just in case. If not I would try spook proofing her with all manner of objects, ballons, tarpaulin, flapping bags, etc. My horse is spooky but I am more forceful with him now and in the school I make him more towards the object with my inside leg but with his head...

Bit of a pointless post really but my warmblood gelding Bailey is out of a stallion called Idaho, whose grandsire is Nimmerdor. His passported name is USA (pronounced You Sir, or Ooh sir). However whenever I am at a show centre they call him USA as in United States of America and it sounds...

For warwickshire Moreton Morrell ring on the number I have PM'd you.

My other half works at a riding club and round the back where he lives on site is just a total mud bath where the tractors and horseboxes drive over. Its totally pointless washing my car as it gets covered in mud. When I go home and park on my parents drive the mud all falls off and their black...

So sorry hun - I have been there many times now and its just as hard each time but time really is a healer, I can promise you that. Thinking of you x

My partner works at Solihull Riding Club and he knows all the decent course builders who build there, and we have a friend who has gone down the course building route too so and she has assisted building show jump courses at some large competitions/venues. It is a long hard slog and many...

I am also at Netherwood but was at Chessets Wood prior and can give you information if necessary. Your best bet is to go to Earlswood Equine and have a look at their massive notice board as they have all manner of livery yards in the area you seek as well as over the Wythall/Birmingham areas...

Its my 40th birthday at the end of the month and I've booked a couple of days of work as I have accrued some holiday. I'm due to lose my job early-mid April due to Council cutbacks so I was really looking forward to going to Drayton Manor on one of my days off as a little treat as there won't...

Unbelievable! poor horses x

Thank you for your help Porkie. I appreciate it as everyone seems to be thinking I am making a fuss. I hope I still don't feel like this in a fortnight though.

ring 01564 770180 and ask Sonia or Helen in the office.

I am lucky enough to get mine free from the timber yard. They are really good quality pine shavings which Dad manages to collect once the hopper has enough in it. He is quite friendly with the chap from the timber yard and often repairs his wood working machines for him free of charge as a...

Please be aware that some horse insurance companies (the big ones like PetPlan, NFU, SEIB) there is wording that relates to MRI scans and says that you have to pay the first £500 first. Please check your policy before you go ahead, and if in doubt ring your insurance company and confirm.

There was strong research at one time that vitamin E cream or oil worked well on sarcoids and got rid of a couple of small ones that my previous horse had. Vitamin E : break a capsule of pure vitamin E open and rub on the sarcoid. It may be the rubbing action more than the vitamin E but it...

Further to my post yesterday. I went to the walk in centre at the hospital yesterday afternoon and got seen within half an hour. I explained what had happened regarding the gas leak to the doctor who saw me. He put a pulse monitor on my finger and then checked my blood pressure. He looked on...
