    I am working for a couple of weeks in Sherfield on Loddon and there's unfortunately no accommodation on site. Are there any kind souls with a spare room near by that they'd be willing for me to stay in please? Or even a caravan that I could borrow? I am a quiet, tidy, professional groom...

    Looking for a loan...

    First of all, I'm amazed at how few loans there seem to be at the moment. I'm now in a position where I'm looking to take something one loan. I have livery included in my job and with my own horse out on loan due to no longer being able to jump, I am quite keen to get something else. Really...

    I've found the cure to ALL coldness in winter when with horses..

    I've a similar thing: leggings/pyjamas + trackies underneath oil skin overalls. Looks fine but super cosy and toasty warm :) Anyone know a good way for heating up shoulders/ too of back? Despite wearing layer upon layer (base layers + polo shirts + jumpers + gilets + jackets) my shoulders...

    horse heights and peoples perceptions

    I get this a lot with my boy. He is a big '16.3' and is in fact 16.3 just about if ever measured but many people think he is bigger with exclamations of 'he has to be at least 17.1hh.' I promise though he's not. I also find it slightly irritating those with 15hh horses that they insist are...

    Suspensory Ligaments and lymphangitis

    Yeah that's what I was under the impression of. I've had this horse for 5 years and I'm not ignorant to his conformation faults but he has never out a lame step with us and this has come as a bit of a shock. He's going to be scanned and x-rayed so we'll have a more clear understanding about what...

    Honest opinions needed, the fat to thin horse starts now...

    I'm in no position to comment on weight but good luck with the journey and don't beat yourself up too much - it'll all work out and be a learning curve for all x

    Suspensory Ligaments and lymphangitis

    I put my horse out on loan a month ago to the perfect home - everything was going fantastically. The loaner had the vet out to another horse on the yard and at the same time asked him to look over mine as there was a hope in the future he would potentially buy. Now my horse doesn't have...
