Hi all, posting this in tack room for maximum exposure; hope that's ok. Gypsy cob, history unknown. Could've been running with stallions prior to Feb. Due to a previous bogof I'm hypervigilant but by the same token have no breeding experience! Is this mare 7yrs, merely breathing or ..something...

It's not what I'd call retirement livery. He turns them out on grass for a short while and then on to stubble with hay. It's miserable.

Ooh, that's a good point; thank you!

As title, I'm trying to reconcile my finances with owning a horse but in an area where the hacking is crap and dangerous. I've tried before and I can't afford a car and a wagon, so I'm thinking of buying a low-mileage Renault Master conversion or something like that and use it as my only...

Chapelwood is lovely but doesn't do DIY. Brown Heath is good value and has all-year turnout but dreadful hacking - really fast roads and no circular routes. Tile Farm in Guilden Sutton (Ardens) is a lovely yard but for the fact they don't do winter turnout at all. There's Totty's in Great Barrow...

Ha ha my ride/drive does exactly this!! I wouldn't worry about the lean thing; she's certainly never done that and is also a skilled dressage pony. The only thing she does do is a funny little hop into trot - a momentum thing I think, to get the trap going.

I much prefer rape straw to wheat straw - much more absorbent and less smelly.

Vote Labour, obvs.

Yes, they were brilliant with my claim but not cheap. Even more expensive than NFU.
