    Veterinary services in Shropshire

    I can't recommend Mark Andrews and Wrexham Vets highly enough, I live five minutes from SVS but have never used them we used Baschurch a few times when Mark was at Newmarket, but you didn't get a personal service with them it seemed to be someone different every time. Mark and all his staff are...

    Do road planings make a good hard surface for horses?

    I would recommend them but ask for the finer ones for horses otherwise you could end up with a lorry load of lumps. We used them with rubble and stone when we made the arena as base and in our field gateways and we have a long drive so thats done in planings too. I am lucky as my husband works...

    Do horses 'know'?

    Thanks, Leonie was a real character all her life, her mum Copper was a Welsh Cob x Exmoor and her dad was a TB and she looked like a minature thoroughbred as she was only 13-2 but with a much bigger horses attitude with a mind of her own, she didn't mind injections but I think she decided to go...

    Hay: how worried should we all be?

    Very worried, we have about 15 acres here ready to be cut, no one in our area has managed to do any so if we do get some good weather all the contractors will be working 24 hours a day. We normally have wrapped round bales done for us but have the equipment to do small bales ourselves if we...

    Bit emotional today and an apology...

    Don't ever apologise for mentioning Ebony, she will always be a part of your life, I lost Charlie in November 1990 and still talk about him and think of him often. We lost Copper a week later both were in their 30's and we had owned them for 20 years, we lost our mum in the August of that year...
