    Being in the Armed Forces and owning a horse?

    That must have been a really tough decision. I think I need more information to fully understand how easily I'll be able to keep her. I have spoken to two people who are managing it fine though and I completely agree with one of the earlier posts- where there's a will there's a way!

    Being in the Armed Forces and owning a horse?

    Is anyone in the Royal Navy and have their own horse? I wanted to ask as it's a career I'm considering (spent 3 years in URNU- university RN unit) but would still want to keep my horse so wanted to know if anyone else had experience combining the two and how well it worked for you? Thanks :)

    Owning/ keeping a horse in your 20s

    I'm 23 and have had my horse since I was 15. My parents paid for her up until I finished University in June and I now pay for everything. She's on full livery and I live at home in SE London, so livery is ridiculously expensive. I don't have a clue when I will be able to move out as I simply...

    Looking for combo rug that won't pull mane out..any ideas?

    my rambo duo doesn't pull her mane out, and her horseware underblanket plus is great for a stable, but it needs a rug on top

    Would you consider an 'app' to help you rug your pony???

    I think it's a good idea, but not sure how it would be implemented. If you could add in additional information then it could work, but seems like it would be complicated

    Swollen/gunky eye- Flower stuck in it?

    Hi, Hopefully you guys can offer me some advice! Yesterday when my horse was brought in her eye was fully closed and swollen, the girl at the yard is great and she cleaned it then bathed with tea bags and found there was a flower/grass thing stuck in there, she managed to get it out but there...

    Replacing hats after falls - Do you?

    I don't personally, no. But if it was a particularly bad fall then I would. If you do replace your hat after a fall, would you also replace it if you dropped it on concrete from a reasonable height?

    How far do you travel from home to your livery yard?

    I've just moved house and yard and gone from a 90 minute journey to a 10 minute walk! It's bliss!

    Advice please? Toe Landing/ Bad Farrier

    I've spoken to my previous farrier and the guy who has just shod her (although, obviously don't give his opinion much weight), and they have both said that for now it's better to keep her shod but keep a close eye on her. Before this she could cope with backs off but not completely barefoot...

    Advice please? Toe Landing/ Bad Farrier

    Hi, I've recently moved from Sheffield to SE London and have had to find a new farrier. I have owned my horse since she was 4, and she is now 13. During this time she has never been lame and with the exception of 3 occasions, has been shod by the same guy up in Sheffield since she was 9. One...
