This is a fascinating read! Id like to reach out to the person posting and encourage them to get in touch if they want to see photos of a horse displaying exactly the same weight problem! Kookie1988@hotmail.co.uk We have a 18yo ex NH gelding, rehomed as a rescue looking fat after a summer at...

Found a perfect home the 1st day I advertised. And actually I got my perfect little horse in return. A local yard fancied her as a nice project and had a lovely trad show quality cob looking for a home in return. So we swapped. Goes to show that if you ask around and advertise honestly you can...

The breaking yard are coming out to visit today and see what they can do with her. I'm not prepared to send her to another yard as she really needs some stability and consistency. My partner is riding her at the moment and if we had the space we would keep her for him but that's not the case...

I am tentively offering my mare to a good home as either a project or possible broodmare. She is a 17'2 6yo ISH believed to be by Cruising out of a Ballinvella mare. Unfortnately her breeding is not recorded on the passport. I bought her from a stud in Ireland after she passed a vetting. She is...

Funny you should say that, my books almost ready to be published. You'll be the first to receive a copy . . . .

I always use a reg qualified physio. It's a bit of a no-brainer to me. They train at uni for a minimum of 4 years in human physio then specialise and train separately in equine/animal physio. I had a horrible experience with a very well known 'body worker' who travelled up from England to a...

I can't believe how many negative postings there are about sending horses to prof breaking yards. . . I have broken 3 horses for myself in the last year and was planning to break my newest arrival but had to concede that she needed more consistency in the breaking process than I could give her...

Found a perfect small yard to rent with a 20x40 red sand/shale/crag surface. The arena has not been used in a while and I'm looking to improve the surface, where do I buy the red shale? Need to top up the corners. And can any kind person suggest a cheap way of improving the surface? I was...

Forthview I have Pm'd you!

Thanks motherofchickens, Haddington is, unfortunately, too far away. But I will message forthview :)

Still looking.

Still looking! Will pay up the £100 per stable! Happy to school in a field if need be . . .

Looking for a small yard,livery or stables set up for 4 large horses. Ideally with grazing, hacking and schooling area. For reliable, experienced owner who produces horses for showing. I am completely self sufficient and very capable of upkeeping a yard and maintanence. Would consider more or...

To be honest I would avoid any dealer as Ive dealt with most in scotland and can only vouch for one, but he sells unhandled, unbroken stock. I would try places like riding schools for a nice safe steady cob. you can get lessons on it first and see how he really behaves before buying.

Looking for the right person to share/loan our 17yo 16.2hh ex racehorse. He is an absolute gentleman who is very good fun to ride, totally up for plenty canters and gallops :) He is quite big boned so can carry up to 14stone. As with all exracers he can be strong and spooky, but never dangerous...
