I would worry about it spreading, since while it doesn't seem to affect the horses much - other than they might get a bit sore & itchy, it's highly contagious & can hide away & reappear so I would want to get it eradicated as soon as possible. Best way I know is to get some Immaverol...

I think it's a new course that they are building for the event. I've not been to the venue either - sorry!

From your previous post, I thought you rented the whole field - in which case how come they are allowed to use half of it for a pen - surely if you pay for the field then it should all be yours to use how you want? To answer the question - he probably does like the attention but sounds like the...

A horse at my yard did this but a full grill on his top door stopped him completely - because he cannot get his head over the door he can't get near enough to kick it.

[ QUOTE ] perhaps best ask the bookie at hickstead and aslo on the international site that also does it.....And it isnt entirely a betting issue in racing, its also a PR thing. if millions of people tune into watch a race containing a famous horse like for example Desert Orchid, it makes...

I've used Atacanter www.atacanterhorseboxhire.co.uk - they are near St Ives & are very good. There's one in Newmarket called Rent Right www.rent-right.co.uk - but never used them so don't know what they are like. Also no idea about availability obviously!

A friend of mine went to Portugal & rode classical dressage horses - she absolutely loved it. I don't know what the place was called but I can find out if you like - PM me if you want more info.

Pure bred natives are shown unplaited. Found this on a web site about showing Welsh B's - Manes may be trimmed and tails squared off. Jawlines and outer ear may be tidied. Working ponies may be body clipped only. Hope that helps a bit!

I really like her & would say she's definitely a SHP - especially as she is bang on the height for the 143cm class.

What about trying the Veteran Horse Society?

The pic in my signature of the horse jumping a log was taken at Eleveden - that's one of the bigger fences though - probably about 3ft high & wide. There are a couple of tree stumps with wings either side & a chair that's about 2ft 9 but most of the fences are smaller - it's a great...

I use Effol chew stop, which seems to stop my youngster chewing my other horse's tail.
