I always have found 3 is double the work of two. You may as well have 4 at that point. I dont know why but thats how its always been for me. However I still voted yes. Maybe buy this one and sell one of the others?

Hello all, Hoping to pick your brains a bit. I have a 15yo ISH who has had longstanding mild hind PSD due to front foot issues (of which I wont go into) and back in August sustained bilateral tears (both branches) to his R hind suspensory in the field. Swelling was all around the fetlock...

Height isnt such an issue really, apart from getting on and off. If you found a native that isnt too wide, that was 15.2 with a good shoulder (not upright) I imagine you would feel very comfortable. There might be more flexibility with saddle fit then too. I've had a quick scan of horsequest...

I have tried Hoof Armour on my thin soled horse. It is like a very tough layer of PVA glue on the bottom of thier feet. My horse was instantly more comfortable with it but I dont think it lasts all that long, needing to be applied weekly to maintain its effectiveness. You'd go through 1/3 tube a...

Things that make it possible: - a sensible horse - good turnout, ideally 24/7 - supportive partner who is happy to have the baby - supportive family - horse being at home/close to home - flexibility with everything - baby carrier on front - toddler rucksack for yard jobs I didn't give it up...

and I'd give them time to go away and think about it and come to their own conclusions

I would just say that you are struggling with the time it takes to do all the poopicking/responsibilities for the liveries with your other commitments and would like to be able stop doing it, but appreciate that puts them in a difficult situation so wanted to discuss it with them and see if you...

There are a few different things they can do depending on the condition of your shoulder and the surrounding muscles. A replacement will definitely help with pain relief long term but sometimes that comes at the cost of function, however not always. If you make it clear to the surgeon what you...

Google is about right. There are also a few different types of shoulder replacement you can have so find out which one and what the expected outcome is. It can differ between people But for example, if you are having a reverse shoulder replacement it’s quite common movement does not exceed 90...

Could you not put something around the area the bees are and ride around it?, like a cone or a A frame sign. We've had miner bees on walkways and as long as you don't directly step on them they aren't usually a problem. Failing that, talk to a beekeeper? They are usually much better at helping...

I'd say go hacking (lots can be learnt in quiet, unstructured riding) , make sure you can power walk for 20 minutes, try a different horse, try a different instructor, try some lunge lessons and lessons without stirrups. But definitely don't give up!

Perhaps OP is hoping to have the riding school cough up without going through his insurance, which, if that is the case is highly unlikely to happen.

I think the most sensible thing to do is to weigh your hay. Calculate how much your horse actually needs and weigh the hay to be really accurate with this and avoid waste. A lot of fodder ends up wasted, so you may be able to get it to go 20% further by doing this. And if you can buy it in now...
