    Agrobs feeds are excellent - especially the muesli but I've stopped using it after awful supply and delivery issues.

    Livery Tadcaster area?

    I may have to move to work in Wakefield and Leeds areas (job could be between the two) in about six months time so will need livery for two horses. I've been told that Tadcaster area is nice and some of the villages around Selby. So can anyone advise of somewhere nice to live (ideally...

    Pondering about yard bitchiness

    Totally agree. Brew rooms should have a cauldron, not a kettle as it's generally the yard witches who spend their time in there. And it's always the people who spend the rest of the time saying "I just get on with my own horses, I don't get involved in stuff", when in fact it is they who have...

    Feeding salt making a huge difference to horse's poo...!!

    I always give my two about a teaspoon of salt every day and they have access to a Himalayan salt lick at all times. They have solid poos. Sometimes so hard it bounces on the road when we are hacking out.......

    Opinions on horse?

    I did notice the grackle and whilst it wouldn't be my first choice, as someone else said, some people like to encourage a quiet mouth from the outset. Maybe if you phone about him you could ask the owner why he is ridden in that combination. We can all speculate on here, but you need to hear...

    Opinions on horse?

    Lovely pony. Looks to have been backed nicely and sympathetically. Rider on him is extremely good and doesn't restrict him at all. Just needs bringing on. The sort I'd buy. They will easily get £1000 maybe more for him as it seems clear that all the basics are well in place.

    Barn witches and yard bitches!

    Wow op that sounds like serious stuff! Don't touch her stuff, do what GG said and grow some. I personally find that DIY yards are the worst. There is always a clique of a few people who think they rule the roost. The ones who spend their time sitting round drinking tea and coffee but never...

    Has anyone ever made your life hell on a livery yard?

    I think you get an element of bitching on any DIY yard of any size. I say DIY because I've done every type of livery and the DIY yards I've been on have been by far the worst. There are always cliques - the main characters are usually the one who thinks she knows it all and her mistaken sense...

    Has anyone else seen this? How horrific!

    I've read the FB page and comments. However - the horse was known for being a bad loader. How many of us have dealt with bad loaders who have reared up at some point? Probably some of us. This horse could have reared and reared and never gone over. But it did, and as a result suffered a...

    I took a horse to be shot today

    Good to hear OP - anyone that is considering having their horse PTS might now think about the hunt when before they had only given the injection thought.

    People who 'embellish' their abilities/experience

    Haha love this! We have someone like this on our yard. Horse is well bred - nice enough to look at but certainly nothing special. Keeps making excuses for her 7 year old horse saying that all the best horses take years to do anything, always describing the horse as "quirky" and it's a total...

    Yard decision to make

    YO does maintenance - farming background and it has already been discussed. They do have knowledge of managing land, just not horses, and my OH is also pretty handy when I can get him motivated! :)

    Yard decision to make

    Thanks - sounds perfect. I know I'll be fine once I've moved, it's just biting the bullet and getting on with it!
