We have had horses that pace for a while, they soon settle with a quiet friend. I have had several that " can't turn out with others" but with the right horse they have all been fine.

Following on from the owning stallions thread, 2 weeks ago I imported a 4 year old PRE bred for bull fighting. At my age I didn't think I would be riding a stallion, let a,one a 4 year old but he is the kindest, most well mannered horse and very trainable. He lives on a yard with 22 other...

I have just bought a 4 year old PRE stallion, he is very easy to handle and ride, he hacks with the others and is turned out daily with a other gelding. He also is happy to tie up with mares coming past. I imported him 2 weeks ago.

I tried turning him away. He came back in later than ever :-(

Long story! My warmblood horse was not quite pushing from behind lin canter although not lame as such. After a lot of work ups he was diagnosed with an annular ligament injury. They medicated it but he was still not right. He then had surgery to cut the ligaments in both hind legs. After rehab...

So, from the other side, I have a livery yard, it's an American barn set up but the corridor between the stables on either side are very narrow so not really any room to tie outside. Horses can be tied inside or outside the wash box to be shot or clipped or tacked up if not too many horses...

We have loads of horses come to our yard from diy, many come with issues and stories of being mega difficult to handle, ride , box walk ect. Every single one that comes to us that is then on part livery transforms as all the horses on the yard are on the same routine . Try and give her...

I try and get my liveries out as much as possible, however, following the snow and then torrential rain , the land ( sand based) was sodden. We put them out and the galloped up and down the fence line wanting to come back in! They have been in for 2 weeks now and went out today for about 5...

Saddle has been checked. Sorry, forgot to say!

I have a lovely young horse who has always been straight forward. He is big at 17hh and has big paces so has taken a while to find his own balance. Over the past few weeks he has become progressively more grumpy to tack up. When you take the saddle to him he paws the ground, ears back and lifts...

Can anyone suggest a make of show jacket , not too pricey, that would fit a larger chest? Since having my baby my boobs have failed to shrink meaning all my jackets are too tight across my chest. I am a 12 to 14 on the bottom half. Looking for both a tail coat and normal show jacket in navy...

Wanted on behalf of a friend Approx 10 to 12 boxes to rent Must have a decent arena with lights Turn out even if just for a few hours. Ideally some hacking For own horses and 3 full liveries. Good payer, very high standards Please pm me with anything Happy to share a yard and help with owners...

Quick question, If your yard is purely part or full livery are the horses owners allowed to get there before the staff, feed all the horses and start turning out without prior discussion with yard owners and staff? Cheers

I have a stunning five year old who moves beautifully but he has a terrible habit of snatching the reins out of your hand or running tbrough the bridle and locking in to your hand. In between this he is super soft in the contact and a pleasure to ride but its making him quite hard work! He is...

The day i went into labour i worked the morning, took 17 barrows out of a deep litter ned, graded the arena and went for a hack! Oh and i had morning sickness for 35 weeks!
