"Never Bucks" or "Never Rears" Why bother mentioning something that it doesn't do??

I'm having problems trying to teach my 3 year old Sec D to respect my space. He is really good and very laid back and I have no other problems with him. But uses hs shoulder to push me around. He has already knocked someone over. He is fine with his back end and moves over when I ask, but he is...

Thanks for that Jessica I've got my name down for dentist, but that does make sense. He has stopped rubbing it now, but it is still swollen. I'm also hooked to Sec Ds wouldn't have anything else!

Laura - I've just been ready your story about Lucy, and can't wait for next instalment!!

Thanks Teresa Denny is gorgeous! I think David has got a long way to go before he looks like that! He is all bum at the moment, and is still really narrow in front! Can I ask how old Denny was when you backed him? I have been doing the basics with David, and he's now lunging nicley. I hoping to...

Thanks Everyone! He's coming on nicley. I'm glad you all think he looks ok, as I was quite worried about him a few weeks back! I want him to put weight on slowly, and I think we have just about got the balance right! I'm looking forward to a great summer with him, and am hoping to back him...

I thought I'd better introduce myself, as if been lurking a while! I'm Emma from West Yorkshire. I have a 3 year old Sec D called David, I got him last September, and he was a impulse buy! I'd given up horses 2 years earlier after a bad experience with a dealer(another story!), but when I saw...

Did you get my payment? I sent it first class on Wednesday

I'm probably just over worrying!! The grass is very poor at the moment, but he is moving field tomorrow, so hopefully will pick up on grass. I think I will carry on with alfa beet and conditioning cubes, as I've only just bought new sacks! Then will go back to Alfa A and conditioning cubes and...

Thanks for advice I think I'll stop the barley and see how he goes.

Not had bloods done yet. He's just been wormed, and waiting to see dentist. If that fails Blood test are next on my list.

Hi I'm new to the forum and need some feeding advice. I have a 3 yr old Welsh Sec D. He started out the winter really badly, as he was castrated in late Sept and got a bad infection. Then in early Dec he went down with colic. He lives out was on Ab-lib haylage until we ran out about 6 weeks ago...
