Hi Im in Kettering bugbee. Toby was confirmed with EAM at the hospital and struggled for his first two nights, but he is a little fighter and he has pulled through it, he came home yesterday. Still not quite back to full health, he did get a touch of pneumonia so he is on lots of...

Toby is in hospital now in intensive care, they are doing their best for him but cant promise anything. Im in Northamptonshire and he has gone to Newmarket hospital. All staff were lovely! We have a lot of over hanging trees in our fields and a brook running through our land next to the...

What is the chance of survival for this? My 6 month old foal is on his way to hospital with EAM, symptoms started last night, had blood results this morning and was told I needed to get him in urgently. Im devasted, I bred this boy myself and he is my baby, Im so worried about him. I keep...

Thanks :) yeah guess we will just have to put up with it. They sound lovely but I have to admit I'll be glad when they have left.. A couple of nests is ok but 18, and that's just what we have counted so there's prob more, is more than enough!! Lol!

Is it illegal to move nests? I wouldnt care for one or two it's lovely to watch them, but in my block of 5 stables we have at least 18 nests and the swallows are swarming our home, there's at least 60 birds dive bombing my yard lol it's not cute anymore it's awful, my horses are covered in bird...

Oh he's gorgeous! My colt is all legs too! Congratulations! :) x

My mare was fed nothing extra throughout her pregnancy, just out on grass 24/7 with ad lib haylage. In the last month I started to give a little hard feed which I've increased a bit now foal is here. She's not on a huge feed but she seems to be doing well on what she's having so I'm happy for...

Please excuse any grammar/spelling mistakes in my posts I'm using my phone whilst feeding baby (the human kind! Lol) If anyone knows of any stud yards in the northants area please let me know! I've looked online but can't seem to find any..

Sorry I've wrote it wrong when I said around his neck I meant around the neck area. from stroking his head I moved onto his neck which seems to set him off bucking as if he doesn't want me to do that, could stroke his head and face all day he loves it but when I move onto his body is when he...

I give my mare lots of fuss I go out to her every couple hours for a cuddle she's just so protective. It's a battle every night even getting her in from the field at the moment, she either stands and refuses to moves or backs up so fast she almost lifts me from the floor, I never let go unless I...

Thanks everyone, some interesting replies! I must admit I'm feeling a little out of my depth at the moment. I have been through and dealt with many different challenges over the years from neglected youngsters (over 12 months) to off the track ex racers with various issues but never have I...

I left the lights on just in her stable when I set up CCTV, i could see her in the dark it was just much clearer with the light on. Had a couple of nights where she seems really restless and showing lots of labour signs but never went anywhere, then the third night I thought I'd leave the light...

Hi My colt - Now named Toby! Is 5 days old, he's proving to be a very lively young boy with plenty of attitude!! I've had horses many years but this is my first foal so if you could just help with a couple of things I'd be very grateful! When do you start to halter train them and at a...
