I know a horse who was like that, they had to sedate him for a few months and slowly sedate him with less and less until he no longer needed it. They used Sedalin or The other over counter vet sedation (starts with D) It's not always a case of it's a life long thing, 9 times out of 10 they have...

I think they should have the same rules as adults do. No running, shouting or screaming fits for both adults and kids. Regardless of the age, people shouldn't be going in with anyone else's horse unless it's an emergency like a foot stuck in a haynet, tangled in a rug, etc. I don't agree with...

I had a little haflinger mare who was EXACTLY like this, I had her professionally schooled by my yard owner who trains race horses. Within 2 weeks her and her jockeys had her hacking alone And going around the school. When I first got her she wouldn't even getter 1/4 way around the school...

With the greatest of respect, I wasn't asking for your opinion on what I choose to do with my horse and since you don't know my horses way of going I don't think it's your place. I asked a question because I wanted an answer to it not because I want your input on what I choose to do with my...

I'm hunting my boy this year and was looking for advice on the dress code. It's my second time hunting and the first time was when I was little. We're going for the Boxing Day meet. I was planning on wearing my fawn jodhpurs, tweed jacket, shirt and tie with my black ariat boots and gaiters...

I have a 3 year old welsh pony, taken off the moor 18 months ago. Since coming off he was kept in a herd of 5 horses but they were owned by the same people so they all came in at the same time. Now I've bought him and moved him to a different yard he's become a little terror! He's in a same sex...

It might be worth getting some chicken wire or some electric fencing and stakes to close the gap along the bottom. If you go down the wire fencing route then make sure the holes are tiny so he can't get himself stuck in it. I prefer electric fencing and stakes just half a foot inside the fence...

I think a lot of it is to do with the cost to buy going down as well. Minimum wage goes up, horse prices go down and in turn people end up buying their own rather than having an owner who -no matter how laid back- will always tell them what they can and can't do with the horse. Also its the...

Hi. I've ridden at both, I've never been a livery at either but I can tell you that out of the 2 I would choose fitzworthy. Grazing is same sex herds, cross country course, really good hacking and the yard is generally a happy place to be. Tin Park I found bitchy, they put all the horses in a...

I have a 14.1h Welsh X, he's already getting really really hot going out for an hour hack just walking and so he's being clipped this weekend. He's never been clipped before so whether i'll be able to do more than just a bib is a question! He's currently being ridden 4 or 5 days a week, hacking...

How many days does your sharer have him? Could you look into getting a second sharer to pay £15 per week for 2 days? so you have him 2 days a week? Fair enough you won't have him to yourself as many days but at least you'd still have him under your ownership and you could still see him weekly...

I borrow my friends to clip mine, but the deal is that if the blades go blunt whilst I'm using them then i have to pay for replacements/to have them sharpened. If they broke then i'd feel it would be my responsibility to cover at least half the cost to repair them. Just say no, it's no different...

Personally I would go ahead and do it, fair enough it won't drain properly due to the drainage not being done but rubber schools tend to not freeze as much and even if they do you can harrow it or even fork it up if it's not to big of a space. Wood chip can possibly cause grazes/splinters on the...

It won't cost any more, the Equine Pet ID website has the prices if she's registered with their company. It's £10 for her name to be changed providing that your name is on the passport, if it's not then it's an extra £10 to change ownership and yet another £10 to have the owners address changed...

I'm trying to track down eqvalan duo around east cornwall/south west devon area. I need it before sunday hence why i'm having to buy it from a shop rather than just ordering it! Any ideas for places who will sell it?
