The last one sounds the best, but you could also post on one of the regional forums on here to see if anyone can recommend a yard.

I had a stifle arthroscopy on a 17 year old cob. He was put down on the table because the fibres were too fragile to work with. There was an acute injury but what was found in the arthroscopy was also general wear and tear (he'd had a rough start in life and was driven as a yearling before he...

Gosh that's not much time at all. Whereabouts in Cheshire are you? I know of some vacancies near me.

You're doing a great job with Dusty. Don't feel pressured to keep him. Enjoy him while he's yours, keep doing what you're doing and then whatever happens in the future you know you've done your bit. Bog is looking lovely ❤️ The scenery is beautiful too, although I'm not sure I'd be willing...

I think the medication is dissolved in water, so you just have to be able to suck up through a straw.

This is really interesting reading. This is my first time having baby horses and I've just led around the field (and in and out when needed), groomed and lifted up feet. I hadn't thought about asking for more sideways and backwards movements. I'm not sure I'd know where to start but maybe I will...

I've just had mine done (10 months). Both testicles were fully dropped, but only little. He's quite a big lad already so it didn't feel too soon, and he's in a lovely dry field. Plus the flies aren't out yet.

If the competitions were up in Scotland as suggested, and it's a couple per week, I don't think many people would be able to travel up and down from anywhere south of Brum, so they would end up having to stay for the duration. If they didn't it's a few hundred quid on fuel , stabling en route...

I like the idea of the grassroots season starting later. I expect the problem would be that a lot of venues need the grassroots entries to break even/support the higher level classes. It may not be cost effective to run just the fancy classes. I'm sure there are other venues which could run...

The horse is btv, rider’s hands are turned in and heels are up. I bet there are scores of photos she’d rather use instead of this moment in time.

I think her letter was eloquent, beautiful, gritty and overall so positive. She was so careful to make sure people knew she loved herself. That's so important. She didn't do this out of depression or self-loathing (despite having struggled in the past with those problems). She did it for...

I agree with the others that you should sell the 14 year old sooner rather than later, if you've already decided he's not going to France. If he's only 14 and already in wedge shoes and having his hocks injected then I'm not sure he will have much of a market value in a couple of years time...

Nothing much this weekend but Tuesday is gelding/foalie feet trim day! I’m nervous 😄

I have just read this thread. I'm enjoying the names rogering hard and peekingtom, sorry peeking one. I'm also not sure why there's a suggestion that dodgy dealer sites are full of scammers from Africa and India. I'm on several such pages on Facebook and they are just full of people sharing...

I assume the claim wasn't pleaded well. Based on what they have described I don't see why a claim in misrepresentation would fail. That doesn't need to be trade to trade. If the horse was described as sound (and the messages I saw said it was perfect in every way) and it wasn't, and the buyer...
