Talking from my own experience - I had to sell my precious boy when I settled down and I have discovered and realised that, with all the demands that family life brings, ever growing with school events, childrens club etc etc that I have realised that, at the moment, I could not and would not...

Hi, I am in the South West - and have recently been to see a 4 week old Suffolk Punch filly, in the area. She's a beauty, took some photo's but I'm not too sure whether it would be correct to post them, although her pictures have been in the press. Your post was quite open - what area?

Yep! I ended up needing hospital treatment and out of pocket cos of sellers lies..... Which is why I have stepped back and help others with their horses. When I did HAVE to sell my previous horse - I vetted the new owner and made sure they were compatible before I let him go, but then I...

Well........... from memory ..............didnt one TB jump over a fence in the recent National and unfortunately land on another TB? that had fallen (that was probably dazed/shocked) causing catastrophic injuries to that horse? Equine karma crossed my mind. In any case - what a stupid...

Sleepy Kitten Sorry to hear your situation - what a nightmare! Can I ask you though, what breed is this horse? How old is he please? What was his history? Have you changed his food? Are you supplementing him? Are you riding him in a different bit? Was he sold as seen? Regarding...

Hi, Midnight Skies on Fire, Ebony Ball Breaker (lol), Thunder Struck Lad, or Milton Skies on Fire? How about Big Black Jack, Milton Keynes War Machine. There are loadsa options and choices - have fun choosing and Good Luck! I would be interested to know what you finally end up with...

Perissa, After reading through all the replies - it dawned on me that the lady who owned/was responsible for the dogs - seemed completely oblivious to what had happened! You say another gentleman caught the horse and you were summoned to help. Are you saying she simply walked off and...

HHmmmmmm - It's just come to my attention that 3 TBs were fatally injured on Friday at Aintree, during one race or another? Might have been three in the same race? (I don't know) - 5 horses in 2 days, that the main thing really (to me) ..... Gets better and better! Or not.. Night all x

Aintree spokesperson Charlie Hopkins told us, “We looked at the statistics, and in light of the number of equine deaths that have occured in the race over the years, it seemed fairer to destroy the horses before the race rather than run them to exhaustion first.” “After all, the horses are...

My post is not related to any other reply or person. Hopefully the link will work. Made me think because those beautiful creatures, have no idea of whats expected of them. I am glad that the jockey of the surviving TB has been reprimanded. Think he got a wee bit carried away... with his...

Hi, sorry you are feeling low.... Cobs are quirky creatures - and do have a fun personalities.... (they are not fools). From your words - to me, it sounds like he's playing with you? By being a pain in the arse? How long have you owned him? Have you bonded with him properly? Is the...

I wish some of our younger, spoilt generation, that waste money on drink, drugs, that abuse the older war veterans that are remaining, that have "posh" mobile phones, Ipods, laptops, (luxuries) money for fags - will cast their minds to those who have GIVEN their LIVES, so that they may live in...

Hi, Why not look at your situation this way (might make it easier?). If you had "married" a person who was unsuitable and made you unhappy, I guess you would probably walk away... get a divorce. You would not wish to spend time in the company of another human being, who upset you or...

Dear Horsesforever1, I totally empathise with you... I am horseless after having my own for many years, had excellent relationships with my "boys". Loved them to bits. Life changed and now I don't own any, could do... but don't. I miss horses incredibally. Find it very hard not to have...

Hi, sorry to hear your problem but at least it won't last forever... When I recently injured myself... I rested up but then did alot of walking but always within the limits of my pain. If my body said "stop" then I rested. You sound like you are a pretty organised/focused person...
