Victoria Spalding Physiotherapy used to have one, don't know if they still do but worth an ask! :)

That's lovely! I often walk past where I learnt to ride (no longer a riding school but still a farm) & all the memories come straight back as though it was yesterday that I was there! Happy days!

I'm so sorry for you, I can totally sympathise - Headshaking is a truly heartbreaking condition (I speak from personal experience)... I really hope you can help your boy....

Would any of you kind people have an idea (vague or not) re price for well looked after 2nd hand mobile stables - one 12x12 and another 12x18 please?!

Headshaking is a nightmare - I didn't realise how bad it can be until I had one & I wouldn't wish it on anyone... I had a headshaker - I kept a diary & wrote down weather conditions, temperature, symptoms & severity & at what time daily for a couple of months - this helps ascertain triggers if...

We all worry about having regrets, it's because we love them so much, but I always think that that knot of emotion that I'm sure you feel deep down is your gut instinct telling you that it's time, it's just your mind that questions it. I hope your vets are sympathetic and can help you arrange...

Don't worry, these things are sent to try us but it will be fine at the vets. A friend takes all hers (she is incredibly unlucky when it comes to horses... :( ) and they have all been OK with it. If you decide you want to stay with her then do stipulate this when you speak to them as i presume...

You are a fantastic owner and you are definitely doing the right thing by your horse, if only every owner was as selfless.... You have done the hardest part - deciding and making arrangements isn't easy and it will be difficult between now and the day she goes but you will feel relief that she's...

Another vote for Gold Label sunblock - my horse had pink heels that got sunburnt and human sunblock made them really sore - the Gold Label stuff stayed on well even on dewy mornings and no sore patches! For his nose he had a full fly mask with nose guard but I did put the sunblock on too as he...

So very sorry.... He was such a character and was obviously very much loved by you. Sending you a hug coz you'll need one :(

Oh heck!! You could give Annie a ring at Ripon Pet Supplies instead! I'll ask my horsey friends if they know anywhere (we are the other side of Harrogate) and if they do I'll report back! House moving is bad enough but finding a good livery yard is seriously stressful, especially when you're...

Hi! The only yard I know Ripon way is Whitcliffe Grange livery - a friend of mine has just moved there. Turnout is good all year apparently, there's an outdoor school and hacking is fantastic round the Studley Royal area. Also, if you look up Ripon Pet Supplies on Facebook (it's nearer the...

So sorry to hear this... It's such a cruel ailment. I will keep everything crossed for you in hope that she starts to improve....

I feel your pain - my old pony was a devil to catch at times, it was as if she had a melt down now and then for no reason! I know she wasn't being badly done to coz they were at home and I was the only one handling them! I just sent her round and round until she eventually gave in and started...

It is strange that he does it less when being ridden, however head shaking is such a minefield nothing would surprise me! My advice would be to keep a diary - time of day you work him & his response, weather conditions, flies seen/not seen, level of distress he's showing at different...
