We are thinking about separating them, at least while training, as Brandon keeps on hiding behind the coloured 2 year old Hugo -doesn't make things easy! However, Hugo has been handled and is soo laid back, he does set a good example. Whenever Hugo gets food Brandon gets jealous and pokes his...

Here are a few grainy photos, sadly the light was too dim for good camera pics! He's the bay, and looks like he needs more feed in him

Dry Rot (love the name) - Very promising, but I think both me and mum love our beds a bit too much... :P Great to hear she did so well though, that gives us a lot of confidence! And doriangrey, that's brilliant! Very pretty girl there, and very good advice. Thank you so much, we've got some...

We're keeping him and his friend (who my mum's friend is buying) in the stable, partly to settle them in and partly to keep them away from a mare in the far paddock - we don't want any unplanned pregnancies and the other colt is 2 years old! It's great to have advice, my mum is worrying about...

Good point! Poor baby has been left in the field (with ragwort in to my horror!) for 6 months with no human contact and a barbed wire fence that a couple of other colts regularly jumped. He'll have a proper check over by the vet while he's snipped and chipped, hopefully he doesn't bring any...

Ok, I'll phone NFU on Tuesday to see what their quote is - Brandon is arriving tomorrow now, so it's all got to move very quickly! Hopefully he'll keep himself out of trouble for the bank holiday...

That's brilliant, thank you everyone! After looking at the 3, I think I'll go with PetPlan as it's cheaper and has good cover. Thanks again :)

Hello, I am about to buy a yearling cob and am looking at insurers, but a lot of them are attached to phrases such as "don't touch with a barge pole"! I was just wondering if there are good (but affordable) insurers out there who pay up without fuss. I'd be very grateful for any suggestions on...
