I've been trying to avoid the lady's page but after the last posts on here had a look. The poor horse looks such a mess. Heaven knows how long he's going to be on box rest with a couple of sessions a day in his exercise yard. What did amaze me on her page was the post about the goodies she'd...

As in 'formed a union'? If only it would go on strike.

The track mine is on had just started to dry out- today it's wet soup again. Pony is very grumpy - so am I. I remember, many years ago, in primary school, being taught that England had a temperate climate i.e. it didn't get extreme weather. That no longer seems to be the case. What depresses me...

Thanks. That's useful to know. I've had a message from the yard owner to say he's OK this morning. The worry is that I can't go every day because he's quite a distance. I'm desperately trying to find somewhere closer to home but with all his health issues it's seems impossible to do.

Thanks. I'm cross because I've run out of charcoal. Were the ponies all ok?

Thanks. He's back on the track. I just hope he stays there tonight.

My pony managed to break out of his pretty much grass free track at some point last night into an area of fairly lush green grass. Yard owner doesn't know how long he was out but she found two lots of poo. He had a previous bout of laminitis a few years ago and has had impaction colic before...

This is so wrong on so many levels. If you start by looking at the horse, his past medical history, present quality of life and likely future, then that's bad enough. In these circumstances you have to ask yourself ' Who am I doing this for?' I think the answer in this case would be she's doing...

Try having a pony with sweet itch who now needs to wear a SI rug because the midges are loving the warm/wet weather. I doubt my washing machine will see Christmas again. To try to cheer people up because it can always be worse. I arrive at the yard yesterday and bring pony into his stable...

I have to say that I disagree. It's not bullying - it's people gently taking the p**s out of someone who appears to think that she is incapable of making a mistake and is far superior to most of the riding/horse owning population i.e. the rest of us. It's an approach which has a very long...

Not just a vet but Vet of the Year a few years ago. That was her second nomination. Lord knows what the other nominees were like.

That's a bit depressing. Someone suggested tying the horse up in the corner of the school where it spooked., leaving her for a while and then getting back on and riding again.

I thought it quite paranoid but I think she does it to suss out your riding background. I have a small fluffy fat cob so can therefore know nothing about riding or horse care

Yes. That's me. if I was going to have a tomb stone I might put it on it. I'm quite happy to be part of a behaviour brigade as it must mean I look at horses to check they're ok. In some ways I actually feel sorry for her because in spite of the qualifications and the many horses she owns/has...
