I’m glad I’m not alone I’ve had dogs for 40 years and never had fleas like this !! Just bombed the house for 2nd time in a month washed all the loose covers /bedding ( again ) hoovered absolutely everywhere and sprayed !! I was paranoid it was just me getting it wrong with flea treatment they...

Couldn’t have put it better !!!

Does the statement must go to “ forever home “ drive you mad ?? How can you sell a horse on that you can no longer keep/want/need but state in an advert that the next person must keep it forever ?? perhaps it’s just me ! I never buy a horse intending to sell it on but who knows what the future...

Sorry to add a negative to post but my horse battled for 2 years with it in all 4 feet He had every treatment going debridement, iodine, steroids, screws and plates everything kept immaculately clean and dry with me making a 200 mile trip to vets every 5 weeks for remedial shoeing and trimming...

Really feel for you lost mine 3 years ago and I’ve just had major spinal surgery and whilst I should be so very grateful for the fantastic surgeon and the amazing treatment I’ve had in the middle of Covid all I want to do is ride I’m 64 ! I’ve done it all my life don’t know or want to know...

Don’t agree at all if it’s close friend they don’t need to ask I would offer but people who are always asking should be getting their own !!

Let’s face it nice people who work hard and look after what they have don’t ask to borrow things as they know how hard it is to get them in the first place ! Emergencies excluded it’s only the people who don’t care who expect you to lend all your stuff out at the drop of a hat and take major...

Absolutely brilliant I could not have put it better myself ! I have been ostracised in several yards because of my views on Natural Horsemanship it distresses me to see horses being subjected to these methods by people who have very little knowledge about horses but have watched a video or been...

The post was about unsound and infirm horses being sold on instead of making the right moral decision to PTS I fail to understand why you are talking about putting down a horse That is healthy and sound And is capable of living a happy and fulfilled life If it can’t be ridden it must be in...

is that your idea of happy retirement or the horses ? Lots of people are happy to see them stuck in a field and convince themselves they are happy when they are lonely In pain and depressed and get one quick visit if they are lucky after a lifetime of constant care and attention and use ! As...

Well said !!

It’s the sentiment of the adverts that upset me ! How can they advertise for a “ forever home “ when they won’t keep it ? When a horse is aged or chronically unsound there are only 2 choices you keep it or you PTS How would we feel to have been ridden loved competed And generally cherished to...

Yes I totally agree I was brought up that your horses welfare came first before anything else and if you can’t live by that don’t have one ! they are your responsibility from start to finish no excuses !

Isn’t that sad the poor horse I will never understand people who put themselves before their horses Have they no regard for the quality of life of that horse ?
