I have a 5 year old Irish cob who needs backing. I had a cob before her who I backed myself and I was starting to back this cob when I found out I was pregnant and had to stop. So while I was pregnant I turned her away and worked daily on groundwork. It really helped and she started to turn into...

Do you have access to Facebook or twitter? I emailed and called countless times about my items that I ordered months ago and have never appeared, never heard anything back. That is until I sent them a very scathing message on Facebook saying it better be dealt with or I'd be contacting trading...

Thanks for all the advice. I've got the farrier coming out soon to tidy them up a bit. The rest of the hoof seems to be fine but I'll keep an eye on them. Thanks again

Hi all I recently had my cobs shoes taken off but now with this really dry weather we've been having, at parts her feet have cracked and chipped from where the old nails were. The chips are only from where the nails were though and do not extend up past them. She's a young 5 yo and very...

Quick update. Went to turn her out this morning, She was good as gold, stood lovely while I put her rug and head collar on and walked nicely up to the field. I made sure I praised her and the one time she did step forward when I had told her to stand I firmly said 'no' and nudged her back. I...

Thanks everyone, I really am taking on board what your all saying. She is only 5 and very green. I've never had this problem with a horse before and I think I am doubting myself, my ability and knowing what to do. She is a gem most of the time, she is very affectionate in the field, greets me at...

Thanks for all your kind replies, I've been back up to see her and have a think. I don't want to get rid of her. I made a commitment to her, and I want to see it through. I will have her checked over again by the vet just incase. Would it be awful if I turned we away for the summer? I'm not due...

I wasnt pregnant when i bought her, i only found out last month, when id had her 3 weeks or so. There's no livery at all round where I live unfortunately and I don't want to loose my space at this place as its only me and one other girl there. I just wanted a nice quiet happy hacker that wasn't...

Thanks for replying. I've had her since the end of January. I had a 5 stage vetting done and all was fine the vet said. It wasn't my vet that done it though. Tbh, I don't know where I stand re.contacting the dealer. How long do I have to contact him? I am trying to be consistent and firm with...

Sorry my phone has changed lots of words, hope you can make sense of it!

This is ling, sorry. I bought an irish cob from a dealer at the end of January. I told him i wanted a happy hacker. I viewed the horse twice, both times seeing it tied up in a stable, being tacked up, ridden and I rode it also. I had never bought a horse from a dealer but read about all the...
