    I can’t make up my mind if I want to buy a horse or not…

    I've had horses for 50 years. It's a life style I have enjoyed and would not change. However, the biggest relief for me, is my daughter (and 12 Yr old granddaughter) are now safe with their future horsey adventures, because they have just purchased their own land. It scares me how land and...

    Switching to live out in Winter…

    A field, with a shelter. Sounds ideal to me. Your horse can choose, in or out. perfect.😁 Mine used to come in at night, but suitable rugs, possibly haynets in the shelter?, life will be easier for you and great for the horse.

    Clipping - leaving the girth line unclipped

    We do with our Welsh D mare.. She is so sensitive she hates having it clipped out. We have adapted a "saddle pad and girth area left clip". Yep she sweats, but it's easy to sponge and with modern day rugs, we have no problems with her staying warm and drying quickly.🙂

What chance...

    Dispute over private trailer sale

    I hope you can sort. What the hell is wrong with people, being happy to sell a dangerous trailer to an unsuspecting person. I could never live with myself. Disgusting!😡

    Would you buy an ancient lorry?

    Horse injured on yard

    Depends on whether you want to stay on yard. The minute I see a potential issue, I get it sorted. This is not a dig at you, that is my anxy nature. Been doing it too many years, "where there's a chance, there's an accident". Horses are amazing at hurting themselves, I bet the yard owner is...
