Does anyone do this? I was bought up with the 'tie-a-horse-up-to-a-piece-of-baler-twine-or-the-world-will-end' approach. And I can see the thinking behind the approach. However, lately I was wondering if this is the only safe way. I assume that there is a safe way to tie an appropriately...

Sounds a bit like George's Marvellous Medicine, lol.

I was trying to establish the exact difference between the two, as unsure. As far as my understanding goes, the colouring would be the bay.

Thank you Horsey_dreams :)

Sorry the pictues are so large, I'm still getting used to this forum. :D These are NOT the actual horses I was refering to. I don't have a picture of one of them, anbd no decent shots of the other one. However, I raided Google and found the closest I could: Would be brown/black in real life...

Thank you milliepops :)

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with something I've been wondering about please? I was reading some past posts in the Breeding section, and one of them had a discussion about what colour the foal would or would not be. I didn't even realise one could even predict such a thing...

What are the benefits of clipping earlier rather later when the whole coat has come through? (I'm fairly new to clipping) Thanks :)

Is there a best way to stay on board bareback? Someone said to grip with your knees??

I had personally understood it to refer to a solid cob (as in their build), which is the context I used it here.

My maxi-cob-type takes a 6 - 6.5 inch bit. It fits correctly. He is 14.2. :)
