    Heaves?!?

    As it was a virus did she have any medication or did you just have to wait for it to run its course?

    Heaves?!?

    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...

    Buffalo Board (Phenolic board) for Trailer floor

    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...

    Help! Think I've made a mistake loaning out my horse

    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.

    Help! Think I've made a mistake loaning out my horse

    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!

    Pony not eating hay

    I am putting hay out in the field because it doesn't look like their is much grass but all 3 of mine prefer to graze than eat it, so there must be some! They do pick at the hay now and again but aren't overly bothered. They come in at night and have the same hay and they soon munch into it so...

    Vaccination Dates

    Quite recently had mine done. Vet said the 2nd one had to be done between 21 and 92 days after the first one but he said easier to just remember "a month after" so that's when mine was done. I would have thought the count starts the day it was done.

    SO ANGRY!! - advice needed

    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.
