1) Do you know how much your horse weighs? I use a weight tape 2) Do you feed per scoop or by weight? I work out the weight but learn what the weight is in scoops (i don't get the scales out at each meal lol) 3) Do you feed the amount that it recommends on the bag? Not generally, I talk...

As i understand They are able to 'knock up' girl horses from about 24 months Don't quote me, i just know of a horse doing this (He is now 16 and has 3 beautiful 14 year old daughters and a son from his winter out with the riding school horses lol) If behaviorally he isn't a problem then 'he...

Not at all, i'm saying, don't make a vendetta out of something you don't understand. FYI elephants don't think like people! she wont think oh thank god you came and rescued me, she will see everything she has ever known and then she will see something completely alien to her "which is scary''...

We could talk about this for ever but i think we need to remember that she has been in this circus for ''50 years'',its all well and good to call out ''set her free'' (for people who believe free willie was a documentary) for her now to go to longleat will be a massive massive change that might...

You may need to spend even more time (Even after time wasted trying to catch him) once you catch him spend ages making a big fuss of him so he wants to be caught, (also tid bits such as carrots are a quick solution but will not last unless you employ the big fuss and attention too) it shouldn't...
