Hi All, sorry this may end up being quite long....about a month ago I was hacking my horse out and she had a couple of episodes of coughing 3-4 coughs. It coincided with her eating some hay she shouldn't have had so I put it down to that but then a couple of days later I noticed she was...
I recently bought an older ifor 505 trailer. The floor was said to be Ali...what it actually was was chequer plate aluminium sheets screwed onto a layer of presumably ply I would say given the state of it....
We lifted the aluminium sheets off and the floor underneath was completely rotten, my...
So I did it! She was understandably upset but she does understand. She is coming home at the weekend because she said the longer she leaves it the harder it will be. I'm so relieved and so happy. Thanks everyone for making me feel better about it.
Thanks everyone, I just need to get my brave pants on and tell her. I know it won't go down well. I'd be more than happy to continue to let her ride her or share but don't think she will want to. I'll offer anyway!

Could you not put up some temporary fencing until you can do it properly? I know it's a pain but just some plastic posts and some electric tape would do the job and not take long. Doesn't have to be brilliant but would hopefully deter her.
Hi everyone, a little bit of background....I keep my horses at my dad's home and had a spare stable. I asked around if anyone wanted it and met a lovely more mature lady who had had horses in the past but had had a long break and was looking to buy a safe sensible horse to hack.
