Just to bring this topic to the fore again, Poppy is still scamming people. She uses new names all the time, no point in listing them all as there are so many. The members of the group on FB have been getting her accounts closed down but the banks are very slow to act and all the time, people...

You can see why they'd want to try it - hunters are expensive! If they were willing to insure themselves and the horse for all eventualities then yes, if it meant getting a good price

It's not enough to just treat the horse, you have to treat all the places he's rubbed the eggs onto otherwise he'll just get infected again :( A layer of vaseline under the tail will stop the egg laden fluid from coming into immediate contact with the skin and will slow the itch-rub-egg spread...

Some people won't give you the chassis number over the phone but you can ring IW whilst you're viewing and they'll tell you instantly. I got mine from a main dealer, it was no cheaper than some were selling for on ebay and it was fully serviced, warranted and definately not stolen!

The horse has been pts today. The children involved were connected with the event and all aged under 12 years old. The Police are investigating too. Absolutely gutted that after a 2 week fight, he just wasn't able to overcome this. Poor horse, how terribly he suffered for no reason at all...

Just to clarify, I know who owns this horse and although he was expected to be euthanised yesterday, he's rallied a bit and is trying to eat so he's being given a bit longer to see if he improves. He's certainly NOT out of the woods by a long chalk and although he's still with us, it doesn't...

Val Rees, you'll find her on FB, she's that way

There's a field for sale with stables on Winwick Lane, half a mile from junction 22 going towards Leigh

Just bringing this up again because "Kevin" phoned me this morning - looks like they're up to no good again so take this as a warning to be on your guard if you run a business and have a website. Incidentally, this time he called from a "blocked" number but it's the same scam and he still uses...

Are you saying the pulse is hammering away abnormally or can you just feel it because his heart is still beating? I'd be worried if it was pounding, but even more worried if you couldn't feel anything!

Last winter I was paying £25 delivered, good quality and heavy bales. When they ran out, I had to go elsewhere and collect, still £25 a bale but I could roll a bale out of my trailer and stand it up myself :( They didn't last very long at all. Now i'm paying £40 but these are better value than...

I've had 2 done over the years. After waiting a year for the foal, all the planning, nail biting and expense, to then let it down by not doing something to give it the best chance possible is madness. You may think your foal is healthy and strong but weeks down the line you may bitterly...

The stuff you want is Duraphat 5000 but it's prescription only in this Country

Just an observation but after the terrible winter (forage wise) we've just had, (owing the the abysmal growing season last year), it seems to me that everyone is making hay and haylage. I'm seriously hoping the prices will come down this year because it's been a great growing season so far...

Some of the generic cables you buy are too long. I've always clipped mine into a hole next to the towbar. The longer replacement one i'm using now is too long so I put a loop in it and secured it with tape. I don't think hooking it back on itself is correct
