Bundle into groups of ten, and tie together at each end, much more manageable that way than a whole massive of them together

Emma Massingale takes her dogs - and cats - out in panniers on the side of the ponies, so it's entirely possible!

I wonder if she's lighter but has a partner/friend who would like to ride occasionally who is heavier? I might be being very generous with that thought though 😂

Out of interest, what size?

A previous yard, where a shared horse was, had large fields with multiple horse owners. The fields were marked up into sections and each owner was responsible for keeping their area clear. Then it was obvious who was doing their share and who wasn't! (The yard knew where the horses had their...

Thanks everyone. I'll look into oily herbs. I'd not usually want to mess with them but these have come up pretty rapidly covering quite a large area and I'm conscious summer is coming up and they couldn't be covered with a fly rug. I'll see what the vet says tomorrow too. Sending photos off...

I have a sweet little mare on loan. When I took her on she had a couple of pea sized/shaped sarcoids, but apparently they'd been like that a long time. Those ones are fine and unchanged but she now has two patches of lumpy bumpy wart types (it's hard to see properly as she's still got some of...

I do love this thread 🥰

Not to be the voice of doom, but it is also possible insurance won't cover this. Usually the first two weeks of cover are for injuries only, before the full cover kicks in. If the lameness happened two days after arrival and there's no obvious wound/accident then it would seem unlikely the...

I don't know the dealer (although I think she is a forum member from years gone by?) but I saw this advert earlier and just thought of this thread. Maybe too young/green but she sounds a nice sort. https://www.facebook.com/share/1Zv1ebZ6Dg/

Thankyou. I don't mind a bit of smut but it does need a storyline with it for me to be able to enjoy it.

Google describes it as sports, which seems a stretch based on the above posts 😂 I don't think I have now TV, are the books worth reading on their own?

I think a lot of people here are living in the perfect world where turnout happens all year round. The reality is, that in certain areas of the country more than others, this is a very real scenario. Not saying I agree with it, and personally I wouldn't keep horses if I couldn't offer daily...

Would something Spanish/Portugese suit you? Little more substance to them than TB but a bit more height than a native. The ones I've known have been nice, a bit about them without being loonies. Possibly not so budget friendly though admittedly. ID x TB might be another option?

I'm just wondering if anyone has used one/has any recommendations? Since Frank got poorly a couple of years ago it's been a balancing act but I can't get him right at the moment, and I'd like him to have free access to food. However, Stanley is like a little round ball and way too fat, even...
