Thanks for all the advice. She's started to look a little better. She had a bath with hibiscrub the other day as she's started to loose hair as her skin is really dry. She is turned out 24/7 and only comes in for her feed and a net in the morning as the grazing isn't great. Her stifle hasn't...

Hi. I'm not a new owner but a new owner of an abandoned horse. A bit of background is this Rising 4 welsh part bred (possibly TB cross or some more refined build rather than another cob type) She was dumped at the yard last July and whilst she had weight on her going into winter she seriously...

Hi. Thanks everyone for all your help! It's going to be a fun winter for me getting her ready! She hasn't ever been to a show before so RC shows are a must! I'm going to aim at doing the season on her at them and aim to take her to a local Agricultual show towards the end of the season. Once...

Thanks for your input. She is a tricky one to put into a class! I'm OK with hunter classes as that's where I've competed before but thought she might be a little too heavy. I see the problem with her hight and cob classes too. She's certainly not a hairy so them classes are out! Maybe I will...

Hi. I hope this works as I don't really know how to post pics!!

Hi. I don't know how to Attach photos!! If I can't do cob classes without hogging what about ridden coloured classes? Does the "type" of horse affect those classes? I've always been a tweed girl and very toned down in my and my horses attire! Even when placed down the line I've always had good...

Thank for all the advice guys! Can't believe its harder to feed a cob than the TBs I'm used to!! I will start with the bare minimum and work from there. She will have a mineral lick in her stable anyway so she can make up her own mind. I'm very lucky in that she isn't a greedy pony and will...

Thanks, sort of what I was worried about, lack of vitamins. What supplements are good for this? She is overweight even though she's a cob so I don't want to put any more on her but I also don't want to deprive her of the vitamins and minerals she needs.

Hi. My 14.2 cob mare is a new challenge for me feeding wise. I've always had horses that struggle to keep weight on and now find myself in the opposite situation. My girl is 8 and been out at grass ( on the best grazing I've ever seen!) for the last 2 years due to her owners ill health. She is...

Hi. I'm new to the forum and I'm after advice an opinions on classes for my new cob. I've always had hunter/TB types and shown up to county level with them, however my new horse is a totally different kettle of fish for me and I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed! She is a 14.2 coloured...
