    Grand What?

    [ QUOTE ] i watched the clip of the end of the race on the bbc, beating the c4ap out of a horse i am sure does not make it enjoy doing something. yes they are trained for this but bottom line they are still babies, most people would not back at this age, if it was a normal horse. you really dont...

    A new warmblood studbook for Ireland

    What would worry me here is that there seems to be a very small no. of people involved in this, you and a 2 other people. Surely this leaves a very narrow opinion? So far most of the approved animals seem to be owned by the owners of the studbook.

    Cost of shavings

    tansport from Goresbridge...

    There is one recommendation for a transport company on here that I wouldn't touch with a very long barge pole. Most unprofessional. Choose carefully, not just on price.

    have you lied to sell a horse?

    Yes I have lied - but not to sell, to avoid selling. Buyers can give a very false idea of their abilities - especially proud parents of wannabe stars! I had to lie and say I had already had an offer that morning. As for false advertising what about flaming ESTATE AGENTS. They are the worst!

    Weight/Height/Age Question!!!

    Opinions on this little mare...

    Well they have said can be a little "bossy" in the ad - so I would presume that they would be a little more specific when prospective buyer phoned. She hasn't claimed pony to be suitable for beginner or anything like that. Even the quietest can give the odd buck! ps hollyf I adore the cute dog...

    licensing for horse transporters

    Correct me if I am wrong. Transporters operating 3.5T lorries do NOT need an operators lic. Therefore you would not have a disc in the window!!!!!
