I'm taking two but more than happy to share if anyone wants to come along and join us, and perhaps have a play in the school and see if you fancy a trot in the sea? Non tb's are welcome, we have one that is a regular visitor to LARC outings! Trips to the beach can be in very small groups or...

I'm involved with a grass roots club helping people with ex racehorses to get the most out of them, and we are having a get together on the East Coast in August where we can ride on the beach and share our experiences over a beer in the evenings..... Stabling/grazing available at a fantastic...

Gutted :( Your lad raced in Ireland only, his form is all online if you wanted that. I'll ask my Irish contacts but he is perhaps not a good enough racehorse to recall easily :( Sorry. He only pointed once and fell, but Healy photos may have one of him if you're interested?

Yes, he's a registered tb by the name of Havoc! I rehomed him last summer for someone who'd had him for several years, I'd have loved to have kept him but couldn't afford to pay the lady to do so :( He seemed to have found a good home but was resold a couple of months afterwards, that person has...

Sold cheaply in summer 2012 to a lass locally, all seemed well but had a brief message saying she had to sell on. I tried to help but next I knew he had been sold 'to Manchester'. Nice home, only horse according to the message. Person now uncontactable. Would really like to hear from his new...

I do a lot of rehoming for trainers and also ex racers that have been out of racing a while but are struggling to find their 'niche' in life. They vary between size, age and potential but all are safe to be around and low priced as I do not need to make a living from them. Many can be on loan if...

The horses were with the meat man. Weigh in value for the foals is negligible, selling them at 150 the pair probably covers what he paid for them plus mares, so he's covered and hook price for the mares will be in his pocket. Am glad the foals are getting another chance, and I hope they don't...

Colchester to Bicester isn't that bad. We had people from north yorkshire and wales going to the E&S last sunday! If you ever want to break a journey up we have stables in the Midlands available.... Frostie was awesome. Looking forward to another episode this weekend as she's out with the...

If I leave one of my cribbers out collarless 24/7 he will drop weight. Purely because he cannot graze as he feels the need to crib. Put the collar on, his head is down, collar is loose, and said horse is behaving like a horse and happy. Whilst I like the sentiment that collars should be...

I'm local, and I can take her on. If the original owner wants to get her and have her here I will help. And I don't mean on livery either, i am happy to give her a chance but don't have the purchase price spare at the moment. And yes, I keep tbs and feel confident i can cope with a sensitive...

Ask if you can take it for a pre MOT test at your cost. Then you'll get your quote. I'm selling mum's 3.5t pony box, it passed 16 months ago and hasn't been used since, so it's out of MOT. I don't have a lot of time to take it, so would be happy for someone to have it looked over, see what it...

School horses may look like the dregs of the equine work in a lot of cases, but they are worth their weight in gold. They are there to do a job, to teach people to ride with the minimum of fuss and as safely as possible. Most really good school horses love their job and play the riders as they...

Come and meet our yard full of random tb's. All different, all safe to be around and all absolutely full of personality! The only think to remember with tbs is they need lines to work to and will get pushy if not told the rules. Don't bully them, just state the facts. They have brains...

I think you've answered your own questions... she has talent and should be given the chance, but she's not worth the price they are asking as she stands. You'd be surprised how quickly a horse can forget the bad stuff when they have a job. The real question is, you will be the one doing all the...

Chalk it down to experience, and if you want the pony then send someone to buy it on your behalf. Even the nicest people in the world can change... Don't let her get to you, her ponies are her responsibility not yours, and help stops arriving when you abuse trust and blind faith. Black coffee...
