This and this. Pony is definitely unsound behind on corners on a soft surface. No ifs, buts or maybes about it. Pointless getting saddle fitter, chiro, etc. You need a veterinary work up under saddle, not on the lunge without a rider, and show the videos to the vet, including the different...

They weren't jumping on to a road. They were crossing a road. Accompanying marshalls on quads had stopped the traffic. The driver 'thought she saw a gap' in the horses coming across, overtook the quad, and went for it. The rider thought the marshalls were holding the traffic. It wasn't...

You will find what you want within your budget. Sit tight and wait. A dun/buckskin is exactly what I wanted when I got back into horses after a long break. It took me a long time, but it was so worth it and it was a lifetime partnership.

Thanks for the sensible advice, all. Much appreciated.

Hello All I've recently had a menage constructed. I've had all sorts of problems with the company concerned, but my main one is that, having finally finished, the surface is the required 5" deep in the centre, where it is fully compacted and riding as it should for approx one 15m circle right...

NEVER A DAY OFF. JUST NEVER. Your paid help will let you down when you have to leave early for work. Your horses are stuck in. You can do nothing about it. Your neighbour will light a huge fire of debris just the other side of the paddock hedge while you are at work. Your horses are out...

I use my Rhinegold version more than my actual Thermatex and it was a fraction of the price. I find it more versatile for the small ponies, summer and winter, and it dries faster because it's not quite so thick. I just hate the fact that it screams 'I'm a cheapskate' everywhere I go!!!

I have a very quiet D, well most of the time, who is even a bit on the lazy side, but it took time to be able to canter calmly out on hacks. He would get really frustrated behind and do all sorts of out of character stuff. I was out on him yesterday and when the big horse in front had a little...

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. Much appreciated.

No, but thanks for the suggestion. He's on a well covered paddock for about six hours a day and ad lib hay the rest of the time.

Thanks, have just ordered some. Never experienced this before. Always something to learn... thank you

Pee seems normal, no trouble to go whenever he wants, and normal colour.

Has anyone experienced anything like this and can you shed any light on things or give any management tips. The vet is mystified as to possible causes. Pony has had three episodes of violent, but short colic, over a period of a few weeks. He's out on an averagely decent paddock in the day...

Don't stress. We have just done exactly what you are describing after getting a similarly ridiculous quote for mains electric and water. Installed private bore hole powered by solar panels, with a back-up generator. We had the water tested and got reports back about high sulphates. We have...

Take him to Poolhouse. They are excellent and will get to the bottom of it. Just put a bit of pressure on your insurers. All companies are struggling with staff absences, so get a referral to Poolhouse, contact the insurer and say you need their go-ahead and you need it straight away, and...
