Its a nightmare when your horse/pony does this, isnt it. Mine is just the same, hes gone through post and rail, hedges and electric. This winter (touch wood) we seem to have cracked it! We have put up tall fencing, 3 strands of white tape and in front of that we have a lower fence of...

Someone we know got a brilliant horse from them, but they are friends with the owner, so dont think thats much of a recommendation. As with anything, theres good and bad, have to say not heard either from anyone, which as they are not far from us is unusual.

I've been on 3 livery yards and they have all been so different, the one with facilities was the worst, I could do nothing right there and the horse was so unhappy. It was so bitchy. Now on a yard with no facilities, strange stables made from old farm buildings and no help available but we love...

I have a cob and I find lunging with two reins fron a bridle is the best, The rein around their quarters encourages them to use their back ends rather like the Pessoa or using a wrap. I also find I can half halt and help him to balance and adjust his stride. Hes also an absolute pig at times...

COBS RULE!!!!!! Well done

I have used Deosect for many years as not always able to get frontline

NAF DTox (for some reason stops headshaking!?) NAF Respiraise (For hay fever) NAF Respirase Boost (for when things bad) Garlic Valerian (in winter when he feels well) Olbas oil (loosens his chest) Codlavine multi vit I want shares in NAF they must make a fortune!!

Don't give up hope, my cob was so bad with his breathing a few years ago it would take 20 mins to get him in from the field, a distance of about 50 yards. I begged the vet a couple of times to shoot him as I couldn't stand to see him that way, but he was determined to do his best for him. I'm...

I have a friend who swears by magnetic boots and rugs for promoting healing, rather expensive so see if you can borrow some.

I can never understand why people think hacking is for wimps. We have far more scary encounters out on the roads than any where else. In the last 6 months 2 people riding out with us have had serious injuries (smashed cheek bone, broken shoulder & ribs) caused by tractors and machinery (not...

Just been to the yard to night and the YO was telling me all the horses on our yard and some from the stud next door were out in the night and mid morning today and my fella stayed where he was and wasn't responsible for ANYTHING. 1st time in 10 years of owning him he's not being blamed for...

Try NAF Respiraize Boost, 1st year my horse hasn't had to have vet drugs for his allergies. The kof-eeze is licked from the bucket by my horse. For a change neither product will break the bank!

Wasn't it exciting! Well done to William Funnell but gutted Geoff didn't win.

I thought we were the only ones with this problem, thank god we're not. My cob wears the outside right rear shoe right down, and kicks the toes out of the front. Generally get them to last 6 wks and we do 2-3 hrs 5-6 days aweek on the roads. Cannot get the farrier to do any thing about the...

How about most grumpy, heavy weight, unwilling or over excited (never consistant), battle scarred, half clipped (has decided after 8 yrs he doesn't want his legs clipped) thick as two short planks cob class! We love him really, just had a bad day, clipping disaster!
