farrier - whats quite amusing is you have ingored all the posts that have infact addressed your specific questions I certainly have not bashed you, neither have several of the posters who use trimmers. Perhaps as we are open minded we dont feel the need to bash you - we are looking for what is...

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I would like someone to show me the training they recieve and to hear that it is more lengthy than the three days/15 days/few months we hear about. You wonder why farriers are so concerned about BT when we hear reports of horses being lamed, three barefoot trimmers have...

I actually dont think you have got a debate but a trimmer bashing because a debate actually requires people to listen to each others point of view and weigh up the pro's and cons - i just see people getting agressive with each other which is a shame and exactly what the first post mentions...

My yard all laugh at me because I am such a worrier - I wont go onto full or part livery as it means someone else is handling my horses - my mare has always been a bit delicate and after 1 year of box rest due to a suspensory ligament she would keep still enough to heal I became a wreck. It...

When i first had Sky she used to throw lots of tantrums such as rearing and then leaping of the floor and landing in a bucking fit but these were mostly out of fear and its taken along time for her to overcome this; I remember being mortally embarrassed when she used to start. If I push her too...

ahh bless him poor boy how long was he walking for?

Thanks all, sorry I havent been able to get online this weekend Yes long term plan is to get him sorted to event, his Daddy is a show jumper by trade but has now gone into dressage. Hopefully he is brave enough to event as hes very laid back and takes confidence well from me. My mare is a...

Not sure whether this is the right place to put this or whether its the done thing on here but im new so bear with me, Just wanted to introduce Diesel who is my homebred by my TB ex racer mare - His sire is Frou Frou D'Angine selle Francais I would recommend him to anyone as Diesel's...

I went to look at him when I was looking for a stallion and he is lovely - his personality was very gentle and they let me into his box loose - I think that kind of temp is very important in a stallion. My friend used his son Sunnoras son and bred a lovely filly - she was very sensible and calm...

He is a nice stallion although when I looked at him I didnt feel the pull of using him for my mare

Well in the case of the ones that were rescued - all the horses at the farm at the time were rescued and from there people sorted out horses they felt they could offer a home for some offered based on riding potention or the fact they had a foal at foot and the rest said, I have room who needs...
