Your instructor was right. Menage (can't do the accent thingy!) has a totally different meaning.

I'm sorry, AA but Ted isn't 15. He can't be. Maybe 10 at a push, more like 8. Yep, definitely 8. :)

Big banks. That stable isn't very small. Mine are about the same size and I've had a 16hh horse in one with no issues.

Sounds like a seizure of some sort.

If horse was that stressed, I wouldn't re-scope. I would discuss doing the last two jabs as a "just in case" and take the improvement in behaviour as a sign that the treatment has worked and only go for another scope if the symptoms recur in the future.

I wouldn't go to the yard, as sometimes the thieves are armed, but I would get on the intercom and tell them to clear off before the Police arrive. I would also make sure that the cameras are pointing right at them to get as good an image as possible. If you haven't already, make sure all your...

Look, if you have done something to deliberately cause unnecessary pain and distress to a horse, it's not a mistake, you have done it before and you have been exposed doing it, it doesn't matter one bit if someone somewhere has done something worse. If you hadn't been exposed, would you still...

There will be a change somewhere and the horse is stressed because of it. Are they wooden stables?
