Thanks everyone , there will be a concrete base 24 x 36 ft . I like the idea of the open fronted barn and then a stable for medicinal and maintenance needs and perhaps a storage area x

Hello , I am getting a four acre field ready for rental and would like some help with shelter . I’d like 2 horses and a pony or 3 ponies to rent and would like thoughts on what most people would look for accommodation wise. An open fronted barn for maximum flexibility Three 12 x 12 field...

I also think that not all amateurs can cope with a highly bred horse and there aren't thousands of amateurs available for these horses so even though they may not end up in welfare any horse bred to be pts raises even more ethical questions .

I have been reading H&H article about welfare charities facing huge demand and that there have been systemic failings one of which was over breeding . It got me thinking that there are just too many horses bred who fall into bad circumstances and charities have to clear the mess. We always...

Ive just read this on the BBC website and it's made me sick to the core . Absolutely disgusting.

Thankyou all, I have ordered an Aptimal ? Collar and we'll see if that takes the edge off. It's funny because a war film came on yesterday with gunfire , explosions etc and he's not bothered in the slightest the issue seems to be noises coming from outside . I've booked a vets app aswell x

Thankyou for your post and advice, no he didn't come from abroad he was bred and adopted here . He did come from a big city though and maybe a lot of buildings masked the wind noise . Tbh he hasn't seen or experienced very much but outside is very confident . His nemesis seems to be loud noise...

Thankyou everyone , I was worried because my own vet said the second abdo testicle might not be removed if the owner wouldn't pay the additional costs so if the notes didn't confirm it I would have had to put him under a GA to get the job done and I've only recently homed him . I'm so pleased...

JUst googled and I think this is the answer , I think we're in the clear

I've also found reference to this in an aftercare note. What is cryptorchid ? Cryptorchid castration was performed.

These are the notes , do you think they took the abdo one out ?
