    Arkle - The Legend Lives On

    Have to say I totally agree with this. I found it sad and disrespectful when I seen it. If it was his ashes in an urn that would be fine, its the fact that its his skeleton and its in the front window that doesn't sit quite right with me.

    Many Clouds has collapsed and died ……..

    The issue of whether or not he should have continued to race aside, this is an absolute fact. Not only does he retire the horses at home, they also come back for their summer hols. I would think that the retirement Trevor Hemmings gives his horses would be amongst the best that a horse could...

    Wellies.... I need a new pair help!!!

    They won't ! They will split after about 6 months. The only good thing about them is Ariat customer services and the 12 months replacement guarantee Make sure you check the fronts on a regular basis ........ The last pair of mine they replaced was a different type of rubber. These...

    Ideas for an alternative for expensive plaiting spray

    You can use human setting lotion, but why bother? Just wet the section of the mane you are working on with water, comb through then wet your hands and plait tightly. I have never used anything other than water. If I was plaiting over night I would put a bit of hairspray over them before...

    Shavings, just be a bit careful with this one - from your previous posts I worked out where you are. You know what it can be like !! :-)

    Recommendations for a saddler in Cheshire?

    I would agree, there is a reason he is booked until October. Have you spoken to David himself and seen if perhaps you could box up to somewhere he is already going to?

    (Not so) Tall boots. I give up! *rant*

    Have you looked at Regent Boots? They have all the measurements on their website. I have had a pair for years and they still look really good so would recommend if they fit you

    Black rabbit

    I had one here for years and then it disappeared about 8 yrs ago. This spring I seen one in the field and a few weeks later I have two babies knocking about too. They are lovely to see aren't they

    Buyer Beware - PREMIER EQUINE

    I have no idea what has caused the problem with the strap BUT I would say I have a Rambo Duo which is 4 years old and all straps and fastenings are attached as they should be. I got the Duo after returning a PE Trio which I used for a couple of days and leaked like a sieve. I have had personal...

    Regumate - any negatives I need to know?

    This is NOT an urban myth! Any vet prescribing Regumate should make it known that it can have exactly same effect on a human female and to be careful when handling it. If you mix your feed with your hands buy a box of those thin, plastic disposable gloves

    Failed vetting - what do you think????

    You were selling the animal, and at your own admission you had nowhere suitable to have a vetting performed. You must have known this before the pony was viewed. I don't see how the expense you have incurred taking the pony for a vetting is relevant. You also knew the pony had not lunged in...

    Failed vetting - what do you think????

    Presumably this was a 5 stage vetting given the cost of the animal, but I can't find if this was referred to. If it was a 5 stage, a groom trotting the pony around in a circle does not complete the exercise phase of such a vetting. Also, if I was selling a horse or pony I would ensure that it...

    Weathering the storm, when you have very short legs

    Yep. That's what he is wanting you to think. However, I know his game, I have seen it before. You have been conned with cuteness :-) What he is really up to is working out whether or not he will be able to fit under that fence when needed, he has a better view from that angle - note how the...
