Hi, we inadverantly rang Mr Grice himself and asked for advice which he very kindly gave us. We went with keruing which was tongue and groove, didn't treat on advice of wood merchants and have thin rubber matting on top. Have had several services with this floor now and always has good reviews...

My saluki has to sleep on me, he's a giant but is quite bendy and long so he's not too much of a burden on/in the bed :P when they aren't in insanity mode they are complete lazy loungers, mine is currently upside down hanging half off the bed whilst dreaming. Enjoy :)

I have a feathered saluki dog, he's very tall altho I haven't measured him. I didn't have any experience of the breed before I got one and it did shock the hell out of me. I've never known a puppy so destructive and hell bent on ripping the house to shreds. He is an opportunist, will steal any...

Is this the one involving the horse on its way home from being placed at HOYS that was killed? Tragic :(

we have recently just refurbed our trusty rice. We inadvertently rang mr Richard grice himself and he talked us through the design and what to use. Rice are designed to have tongue and groove long ways at the bottom, then ply short ways on top. However as the ply they made them with isnt...

My 5yr old horse had/has fistulous withers. Mine was caused by unknown trauma and was tested for brucella but thankfully was clear. I believe the main causes are ill fitting saddles, trauma and brucella. I agree that it is an absolute nightmare as it is so rare, no one knows anything (even the...

Its very interesting to read your comments too, especially from someone obviously so knowledgeable about the breed! Yes I agree with the wont come back until its dead comments, mine has never managed to catch anything except a few squirrels but wont come back unless he has completely lost the...

I completely agree that Saluki's are an exception. I also own a Saluki and at my wits end I let a very knowledgeable and reputable gundog trainer try an e collar on him for 4 training sessions. He has a good recall if there are no distractions. However it didn't do the slightest thing over the...

My Saluki at 19 weeks.. After a hilarious growth spurt, trying to be a supermodel with those legs! And at 10mths.

Thanks very much :) She is having the operation tomorrow, the surgeon has never seen this condition quite like this but if it goes wrong she will be no worse off than she is now. If it goes well she can live a normal life, roll and wear rugs etc and MAY even be able to be ridden!! The box rest...

Thankyou very much for your replies. No, we do not know how she got it. She is a very mischievous mare who is always getting herself into trouble and the vet thinks it could have been something as simple as rolling on a rock. She has been kept up to date with physio, back checks etc and I have...

Hi, my mare has just been diagnosed with Fistulous Withers, she is just 5 years old. She has been tested for Brucellosis which came back clear, thank god. She is currently at Newmarket and is awaiting very high risk surgery. The vet has never seen anything like her case and says it is...

Its Prestwold Hall, at 11am :)

I pay the insurance for my horse that is out on loan, the loanee's pay vets bills/jabs/everything else. Its for peace of mind more than anything else, i KNOW my horse is insured and am in charge of what is claimed for etc.

Thanks for the replies! No she hasn't been tested for wobblers, the vets due back out soon so ill have a word. She has a leather girth but uses various numnahs. She still twitches even on the lunge with nothing on her but I shall try washing all the numnahs in hot water. What would you...
