I love Ozzyman reviews, ever since his GOT commentary. He's hilarious. Unfortunately though every time I see the videos of that horse I think of all the people who argue that horses should not be allowed on the road; he could be their poster child. I don't find it cute.

Sending donkey donk vibes ❤️

It's always the (amateur) golden retriever people (or the doodlers). Because their breed is known to be jovial and friendly, and because they are conditioned to think everyone finds their dog cute, they don't seem to realise the issue. You don't seem to get the same level of complacency from...

And with an ill fitting saddle as well. Poor little thing

I feel so sorry for Carl (and indeed anyone else in his position) not only losing loved horses, but having the decision scrutinised, criticised and even condemned by strangers who have probably never met the horses, never mind known them well enough to assess their quality of life or to make...

I was allergic to a SI horse at my yard. Again it was his saliva. No other horses. But then my filly started showing SI signs age 1, full blown sweet itch at 2 and no reaction. Odd

And yet... Your posts are inconsistent. You cannot in one breath say the horse is incredibly stiff and in the next say you can't feel any stiffness. You've gone from being worried about the stifle issues to saying he's 100% sound, even though the vet said he was stiff and positive on flexion...

Wahl KMC+ 2 speed settlings, quiet and cope perfectly well with my hairy cob coats.

Sorry to hear you're feeling like that. I agree with others that retirement livery may work for you. I don't trust companion loans for horses who are capable of being ridden (as opposed to tiny shetlands). I wouldn't trust people not to try riding. Retirement livery doesn't remove the expense...

I can't believe live cows are shipped from Uruguay to Turkey. That's such a long journey https://robindesbois.org/en/betailleres-maritimes-2901-vaches-en-souffrance/#:~:text=Having%20departed%20from%20Montevideo%20(Uruguay,deliver%20her%20live%20%E2%80%9Cgoods%E2%80%9D.

Yes you could have passport stamped as a part bred. The TGCA will assess looking at photos. It's helpful if you have some photos of him looking fluffier but not essential. My old cob was clipped and plaited and was accepted through photos. My current horse is supposed to be a hairy; both his...

I would happily take a horse in similar circumstances if I loved it and it was free. I would accept the fact I will have to spend money on livery and management if I really loved the horse, because I'd be willing to have it as a pet. However, that's not your situation. They are wanting money for...

The problem with the part bred class is that it is largely WBx cobs. That's why I'd make it cob type. So if it looks like a cob it can compete. If it looks like Valegro dressing as a cow for Halloween then it can't 😄 I'm in a similar boat. No Ad Med class for cobs so not aiming for it anymore...

The TCGA cobs are split between part and full. My horses have had to be part breds because they don't have recorded breeding, even though they are obviously cobs when you look at them. I ended up competing against cow print warmbloods so I'm not sure it was much different to normal BD for me 😂...
