One of the ladies on my yard was telling me today that there are tablets you can get from the vet to help disperse the milk, i have no experience of this but might be helpful??

Its difficult to advise as i think its very much a personal thing. I have worked with both and prefer shavings however wood pellets are definately the cheaper option. Having also worked with straw whatever you try will take you a while to get used to.

I am the same as the GW, i put a rug on my foal without really thinking about it to be honest! Did let mare see and smell the rug before i put it on but mare didn't seem to care less. Thankfully! My colt has been no bother since day one, thankfully as i was 5 months pregnant when he came along...

It's lovely to hear so many nice things about Ace and i'm sure Doreen would be very touched. Ace was the first horse I ever sat on and as above was a true gentleman. He used to open his mouth for the bit not alot of horses would do that! have a lovely little colt by him, who is 2 weeks old...

RIP Ace, a true gentleman who will be sadly missed. I have a lovely colt by Ace, if he gets even just a wee bit of Ace's temprament he will be doing well.

Yes, very sad news indeed about Ace, he was the first horse i sat on and will be sadly missed, such a gentleman. I hope i can come up with a good name for his boy!

Well done!! it's hard work chosing a name, i'm still racking my brain for a name for my colt. He's a very handsome boy!

Thank you so much for all the suggestions, certainly given me food for thought. For some reason i am unable to upload pics - wish i could as would love to show the boy off!! : ) will have another go. Thanks again x

My mare had a colt on Sat morning, both doing well but i need a name for him, any suggestions? His dam is Vienna (Blackmount Songbird) and sire is Ace (Stonegrove Ace). I would ike something bold, strong and masculine, maybe a country/city like Vienna but they all sound a bit femanine, or with...

Thanks again for all your comments. Things came to a head last night and i'll not bore you with the details, i left, my dad called him and spoke to him "man to man" as he put it and has managed to put OH's mind at rest re other issuses (Vienna being in foal and me keeping the foal, me going...

Once again thanks for all your post/suggestions/encouragement/support. Dont know where i'd be without the forum at time! Yes, you see this is the point that non-horsey people dont seem to be able to get their head around (amongst many other things). This is not about VIENNA (I hate how he...

Followng on from my above post things have got better, worse, better, worse, better, WORSE. Alot of the suggestions made on the other post were very helpful and have indeed been tried, dicussed etc My husband anounced that if iwas to fall pregnant he would want me to sell the horse, when i...

God i want to reply to you all individually and thank you so much for you support, words of wisdom and encouragement. Alot of the points mentioned are valid and i fear it has more to do with him wanting my undivided attention which his own mother said. I think he is insecure and needy but not...

God this is a common problem/complaint. Thanks so much for all your comments/suggestions. Yes, i had Vienna before we got married so he knew exactly what he was getting involved in, as did i, i accepted certain things and thought (before we got married) that he had accepted! Vienna but...

My husband/boyfriend at the time has never liked the horse (as her calls her!) He doesn't have anything against her personally he just doesn't like me having a horse. He has always made that clear and takes NOTHING to do with her. I think he's been on the yard 5 times since i got her and i've...
