Have a look at Harthill Stud they own him and have lots of nice youngsters by him. Oliver Townend rates his youngsters and has several that he competes all of which as successful. My 2year old was based there until just recently and I can honestly say I have never seen one of his babies that...
I had a similar situation a few years ago and know its such a difficult decision to make. I decided after much deliberation and sleepless nights to have my girl PTS, I felt this was the kindest thing to do as she didn't like living out and the costs of keeping her in with bute and feed to...
Ouch hope you feel better soon!! I once tripped up on the yard and broke my fall with my hands (tripped up over my own feet!!) I managed to break both my elbows and my left arm in the process!!!!
Don't worry its not always an age thing!! my now 9 year old is still a wild child and hasn't changed since she was 4.....before anyone jumps on me she was produced by a professional event rider and I have lessons every week with a top BS instructor! I found that the one off calmers didn't work...
My mare is a bit wild hence once she lives out I can actually ride and enjoy her because it takes the edge off her. Mine has no time off she comes in had a groom gets ridden then go straight back out! Having said that my friends horse has to come in for a couple of hours before she rides her...
I used a RA a few times when my horse was a 1 year old problem loader and it was the best money I have ever spent! She came and worked with my horse then spent time showing me how to do the same thing. The horse is now 13 and loads herself in the lorry :)
Anthony D Evans are ok for insurance but wouldn't touch their recovery with a barge pole after a nightmare breakdown a few years ago! I moved to NFU and got a cheaper deal and their recovery is a million times better :)
I keep mine at a small private yard and they couldn't get planning for permanent lights. We have one of the generator run lighting rigs that they use when they do road works at night. The yard owners bought it at a dispersal auction and paid less that £500 for it. Its perfect we rig it up when...
I would email BD.....it happened to me at the area festivals a few years ago. The girl who won shouldn't have been in it, it was sorted at a later date and I got to go to the finals but missed out on getting a sash and a winners rosette at the regionals which narked me more!!
I keep my yearling at Harthill stud http://www.harthillstud.com/ she has been there since they foaled her. The care is 110% and the staff are brilliant with them :)
