I have one too...

Just had a quick look thank you - not a bad price at all but still this seasons, last time I bought one I got a brand new one for £35!! (Admittedly it is bright pink but at least I've got a mare )

Does anyone know anywhere I can buy a Shires Stormbreaker from last season (so its a bit cheaper ) I have had a hunt around on the internet but can't find any sales at the moment and Ebay only seem to have combos at the moment - I'm just after a mediumweight one, 6 foot, with no neck. Cheers...

...did you take up any other hobby/sport to keep you going in the meantime? I did purely to stop myself from stamping my feet and sulking Just made me wonder if anyone else did the same and what did you take up and how are you getting on with it?

Following my post below can I now ask for recommendations for horse insurance other than NFU as I have already tried them. Many thanks

[ QUOTE ] Call them up and speak to them and request their reasons and if possible try and get the exclusions lifted [/ QUOTE ] I have just done exactly that and they said they will not consider lifting any of the exclusions unless I have a 5 star vetting done - which will cost more than the...

I will try and make this as short as possible but my mare has a recurring tendon injury which I claimed for on my insurance the first time it happened. They paid up but excluded firstly the injured leg, then they excluded the other fore, then at my last renewel they excluded all of her legs...

Thank you but that's a bit further out than I was planning to look.

...Warlingham/Woldingham/Chelsham area preferably but would consider further afield. Looking for an organised type of place which offers daily checking, haying in the winter and with some shelter, natural or otherwise. Everywhere that I know of that used to offer grass livery now doesn't...

Well I'm about 99% decided on option 3 now so thanks for the replies. I'm so bl**dy indecisive when it comes to my own horse!

I have already posted this in veterinary but did not get a huge response (although the ones I did get were very much appreciated). So I am risking a telling-off by posting it again in here! I have almost made my mind up what to do but am still dithering a little which is why I am posting...

I'm glad someone else agrees with option 3. And yes, I would anticipate that the walking would go on for 9 months i.e. the same amount of time as if she was field rested. That's no problem, this has been going on for 3.5 years now so I am in it for the long haul! Hydrotherapy was not...

I would appreciate any thoughts on the following which I will keep as short as poss. My mare injured her inferior check ligament approx 3.5 years ago. As she does not box rest well (runs round and round box) she was turned out for 6 months and was then successfully bought back into work...

Thanks for all the replies - exactly what I was after so keep them coming! For those who had to find a companion home - how did you find one? Did you advertise or was it through word of mouth? Was it a hard decision to make? And how far away did your horse go?

I am doing some research into companion homes and would love to hear your stories good or bad. Have you had to find a companion home for your horse? Why? How did it work out and did you stay in touch? Or have you offered a home for a companion? And again why? And did it work out? If you...
