    unbelievable the cruelty of some

    If they are caught then what they deserve as punishment and what they actually receive will be on two diametrically opposed planets.

    Warble flies are they back?

    I swear I saw one of these monsters. The noise they make is unmistakable. I've clocked them once or twice when I kept the horses alongside cattle about 10 years ago, but this is the first time I have seen them where there are no cattle at all.

    Mine was bought for me when it was £.s.d!! Also the only fly repellent was Extra Tail and the only shampoo was Canter.

    Is it too late to re-school a 11 y/o ?

    I re-schooled an ex steeple chaser who'd gone straight from training to hunting until bought at 15 by a pair of novices who got him at a sale then put him in a field while they scratched their heads wondering what to do with him. He was fab, I showed him as a worker and they got a nice RC all...

    BS Club Membership - is it worth it?

    I was considering this as a way of getting back in after a long time away from BS membership, but as my area doesn't seem to provide any 'club' classes and I'm not too clear on just what classes I would be eligible for, shall I just hold my nose and shell out for full member and horse?

    How fast do you drive your little lorry?

    I mine could do 70 I'd be astounded, although I can crack on at 60 with a horse on board on the motorway. However, given the roads in West Wales I usually trundle.

    Anyone used Sarc-Ex?

    Had Liverpool treatment on a pea sized sarcoid on the sheath. This exploded into a huge bloody, messy, golf ball sized sarcoid that bled down his hind legs. Put him on Sarc-Ex and it is shrinking, the hair has grown back over it and other smaller sarcoids have all gone.

    Best bit for a gelding whose tushes are quite far back

    My geldings top tushes are quite far back in his mouth not leaving much room for a jointed bit. He jumps in a basic bendy bit but I find he leans and won't work through. All checks back, saddles etc have been done and the problem lies with the teeth. I don't intend to have them removed so I...

    Confirmation effecting movement?

    I'd agree with this, my first thought was "Oh dear look at those feet" Shoes off, it will save you money in the long run and the shoes then will neither be masking nor creating problems. Otherwise a nice looking horse, I'm a mug for bay TBs as well.

    Anyone feed Bailey racing nuts for condition?

    I use it as my boy is barley intolerant. He looks fab and is as calm as anything on the Racehorse Cubes.
