Pretty much what I've said. She seems happy enough for a female friend to come and get it tomorrow after mentioning the small claims court which is pretty good. Hopefully it all works out now :)

I'll probably have a clinic cancelled at some point but atm I'm timetabled to be in all day every day (except the lucky day i need to be in at 10.30!!! :P ) My OH could have done it but the person doesn't want any men she doesn't know at her yard which is fair enough.

I guess so :/ It would just mean I'd have to wait till the end of August as I'm at uni 9-5 then at work till 12 and working all day Sat/Sun. I don't think she'd pick up if I called plus I like the written proof that I have been in touch which you don't have with a phone call. I'm sure it can...

I don't post on here much but I do browse a lot. Figured I might as well give it a bash by ranting :p. I lent a saddle to a friend a few weeks ago to try on her horse and eventually hoping to sell it. Anyway we had a bit of a fall out in which Ill happily admit both parties were at fault and...

Sorry to post again but I just thought of something else. Like someone said earlier, my vet said it was the horses that were more intelligent/got bored more quickly that tended to do it. R definitely does it less when he is in regular work so keeping their brain occupied helps some of them.:)...

My boy windsucks. According to my vets windsucking can either be grabbing hold of something or without holding on; cribbing is chewing wood. I bought the cribox and smeared it on every fence post as I found the spray was not at all effective. It lasts quite a while and definitely has worked...

Maybe someone could start a group for better regulation of horse slaughter in the uk? I was going to suggest one for more slaughter houses but I can see that going down like a lead balloon with most people! Lol

Unfortunately three of us are under 23 and the other one hasn't had their licence for more than a year which seems to be the stipulations of most box hiring companies. When you look on "fleet" it says they have a smaller trailer which is good for local journeys and that got me thinking. I...

I was just wondering if anyone had used Eric Gillie for shorter journeys? We have 4 horses on my yard we'd like to take to some shows this summer; were based in Edinburgh so I'm guessing it work out ridiculously expensive?

Def go for the Exmoor Pony Trekking!! They'll pick you up from the bus stop and take you out to the field. It's great fun and really good value for the length of ride you get (about £30 for 3 hours!)

Lol army by any chance? I'm only 20 so no kids for a while but I was wondering, does anyone on here have a 5-day a week job and horses and kids? I can't see how I could do it tbh; surely you never have any free time to relax? I hate having kids at the yard a)because I'm worried they run...

Hahaha this thread made me laugh so hard at the start. I took it as just a joke tbh; found it quite funny and uplifting for once. I don't care if someone wants to buy a rug or not; up to them tbh, I would probably have gone for it at around the £15 mark. Just a bit of good fun IMO; don't take...

I would pay if I ended it obviously but if loaner ended it then would personally put responsibility on them.

My horse is coming back from loan and we were discussing who should pay for transport. I have always paid/delt with transport when I loaned a horse as I saw it as getting a free horse from the owners however someone pointed out to me that by loaning their horse you were doing them a service...

I dont know if this is true but someone I know has a footpath going through their land. Walkers kept leaving it open and the ponies getting out into about 300/400 acres of forestry :eek: In the end he padlocked it and when the council spoke to him and he said explained the situation they agreed...
