^^this and what WelshD said....
If the field is perfect you really don't want to spoil a happy future for the sake of someone currently taking the pee but who won't be able to once you've fenced...and who will still be your neighbour.....trust me, a land war with a neighbour can be the ugliest...
I've only used Global Herbs Rig Calm. It took a while to work but it turned a raging 'rig' back into a sane-minded gelding. Don't know what their other products are like but would deffo recommend that one.
I was 'browsing' ads only last night as you do, and stared quite a lot at this one, thinking he looked quite a nice sort and a bit of bargain!
If you buy him we will need photo updates please!
I am loving this thread too. I've had some really boring stressful stuff to deal over the last year and only just kept the pony-boys going during this tough period...(hopefully coming to an end now) but it is a great reminder that my pony-mad girl self could never have believed she'd ever have...
So lovely. Hope it brought her much peace and joy in her final hours. I know I would want this to happen and it's fantastic that people worked together to make this happen. RIP Sheila.
Losing the last bit of my baby weight so I can get back on my 5yo whose backing process was rudely interrupted by pregnancy.
And spring, so I can ride him some more, hopefully with some better weather and childcare!!
And with that, continuing breaking our sec a to drive, which has also been put...
Ohhhh....I have nothing useful to add but the words 'elderly brindle greyhound found' are impossible to ignore....hope she is reunited soon and glad she is in safe hands...
Forage plus winter balancer has kept mine mud fever free this year and they are out 24/7. I feed a tiny amount of unmollassed kiwi beet and top spec lite chaff to feed it in and they get ad lib hay (not haylage)...they are also on unfertilised mountain pasture. Their skin, feet body weight and...
North Wales....insane weather 5 routes home all blocked by trees...fortunately one was clear able so OH and mini CCW made it home...power was only off for 4 hours, so not too bad...but slates all over the place...horses in the best place, out and able to shelter without too much risk, the way...
Turned mine away due to pregnancy (due in 3 wks) but would have ended up doing so with all the rain anyhow...tho if not pg would have done a bit more than I have, when/if any weather breaks came along, just stuff on the ground probs and the l/r pony would have got out more.
looking forward to...
I have a riggy gelding who turned into a raging crested stud when I introduced him to an elderly mare. She seemed to go instantly into season (tho it's possible she was already, she wasn't mine so I wasnt aware of what her seasons were like). He'd lived with mares before, so not like he'd never...
Yes. Mine was not horsey, tho loved them as a kid, had had a few goes at riding the wild ones near where he grew up (!) and was generally really happy to support me to finally own my own.
Over the years he has been a willing pair of hands in various circumstances, including young horse...
