Thank you for the replies and restoring my faith in human kind! I thought I was maybe going mad or was just plain weird as it would not bother me and I would just look past the hair as all of you have said. She has bags of talent and scope, surely people can see this and if not they arent really...

Hi, My mare is going to go up for sale in the next week of so, she is a mare bred for eventing but has the attitude and scope to do anything. She is as yet un-competed due to my work commitments. She's rising 6 and was broken as a 5 year old due to being late to mature. I have turned her away...

Sounds the whole point in sending the on sales livery but have heard some yards still expect the owner to do the phone answering and viewing's! One of my reasons for her being on sales livery is I just dont have the time. So am pleased to hear that.

Hi, Am looking at the prospect of sending my mare of to sales livery rather than do the selling myself. But I have some query's would you expect the yard to deal with the phone calls, but obivously advertised by me, as they would now know her schooling wise. Do all the dealings with viewings...

Hi, Am looking to get a pikuer Skarlet jacket, but am unsure as to the sizing im a size 10/12 in normal clothes. I like the face that the skarlet comes in a shorter length as am only short and sometimes jackets can swamp me! Also am looking at getting the jacket to do dressage/SJ and low level...

Hi, Thought I would post to this as have been advised by my vet to try zylkene on my 6 year old mare who is awful with the farrier and can only be shod under I/V sedation, like the filly you mentioned ACP doesnt touch her, we used to be able to trim her with no problems but now she wont even...

Stelzar - Would say not, I have a 16.2hh warmblood mare which I had for sale last year nice type with good bloodlines ready to bring on reduced her down to 2.2k in the end and she still didnt sell...Have friends in the same boat with some decent warmbloody or middleweight type's 16hh+ who had no...

Thank you some good things to be thinking about Santa_claus - I was told never ever to dismount her (and standing 16.3hh I doubt I would get back on!) but like you say if I went back and forth then re-mounted it would be her going past the place.

Somethingorother - Yes this is another thing I have tried leading her on foot half way round a 15 minute loop then getting on, it was fine the first time as we were heading home when I got on, fab as she was going forward, but then when I tried it facing outward the next day (after walking to...

Hi, After reading the thread about hacking in draw reins, I saw some people had mentioned about there experiances with riding in draw reins when riding a horse which naps/rears. My mare who was broken last year, suddenly for no reason decided one day she was going to start to rear and nap to...

The horse you describe is exactly my chap, however as others have said horses like him are like rocking horse poo to find or go for big bucks. I have decided to loan him as have no time at the minute and realise I will not find another godsend like him again,I advertised him 2 days ago, the...

Hi, Im am looking for a bridle for my 4 year old mare she is at the moment when being bridled very fussy and its making getting her bridle on and done up nearly impossible, shes a baby I know she will be ok in time but I dont want to push her, she also this morning scuffed her new Albion KB by...

Have to disagree with you soulfull, had my mare up for sale last year for over 3 months, in the end dropped her price well below her value (this is what I was told by an decent event friend) all I got was novices or numpties when had clearly stated she was green and not a novice ride, in fact...

I had for sale a cracking 16.2hh Trakehner x TB mare now rising 6, lovely mover, schooling rough but coming on, good to hack, jumped a 95cm SJ course no problems, very attractive to look at with excellent bloodlines and conformation. I reduced her price down to as low as 2.5k towards the end of...

Have a 16.2hh 6 year old event bred mare who I will be selling come spring, I tried at the end of summer but no luck, couldnt afford the time to keep her fit for sale over winter so decided to rough her off till March/April. Fingers crossed the snow will be gone by then!
