    Goresbridge Go for Gold Sale - Advice

    Can anyone tell me the top price at Monart yesterday? A 4yo I bred made 16k. Delighted for his producers. They did an amazing job with him.

    Would you class her as dangerous?

    Pulling faces won't get me killed. Do not lecture me on horses as individuals. I know. Backing up to kick you is too late. That is clear. Nobody thinks their horses are spoiled. Fortunately I chose to learn from my failings. Had to admit I was wrong. The majority of people think they have...

    Would you class her as dangerous?

    I'm astounded by some of the responses. Kicking is never allowed. This isn't a situation of fluffykins having been abused, this is fluffykins running the show by being allowed to get away with bad behavoir. Spoiled. You can't paint the scene any way you wish but it is not accepted by me for any...

    Does Anyone Just Feed A Tiny Bit Of Flax On It's Own

    I wouldn't be adding anything different. And very very minimum amounts of food now. I have 2 air ferns and they drive me up the wall. They are not picky! Worst outcome I just have to add their prison rations. Yes Flax is linseed in America. I get the mixed up. Like halters and headcollars...

    Things you taught horse but couldn't explain how?

    I'm old so I think I just forget. I move Abba by pointing a finger. Normally a snap, point at hind end, and over she goes. Mine lunge off the headcollar with no hoolies. Now and again I might get a happy buck without missing a beat or pulling on the lunge and continuing perfectly on the lunge. I...

    What do you feed your barefoot?

    Used to feed speedie beet as main ingredient. My horses just weren't as good as I thought they could be. Took off and added alfalfa nuts which most say is a no no. But all but 2 did better on this than the speedi. The two that both had issues with the alfalfa and speedie I put on soaked oats...

    Does Anyone Just Feed A Tiny Bit Of Flax On It's Own

    I only want to give my horses something to eat their supps with. They don't need food. Well some. They don't dislike anything they get so can't seem them being finicky. Or just keep splitting a mug a day of the prison rations currently getting. They will be getting a small amount. About a...

    Viewing a horse - opinions on breeding

    People can be iffy on too much Mr. P due to soundness issues. But it's more to do with what's in front of you. I got on many many direct sons and daughters of Mr. P. They were nice to deal with but yes there could be soundness issues for racing. The horse in my profile pic is a grandson of Mr.P...

    Someone reported my horse to the rspca!

    I have a 19yo TB who came out of the winter with better topline than ever. Only on oats/alfalfa pellets/flax. Same with my 15yo TB mare that fell apart last winter. A friend has a 26yo TB that looks about 5. As she says it cost a fortune to have him looking as well. The equi jewel is good...

    To hard to accecpt ????

    I have a 13.2 here that we started last year at 4 and let off for the winter. Completely unhandled and boy was she a powder keg. She has turned into a lovely pony without force. The reality is she will most likely be a child's pony. She is never beaten or booted or anything mean but she can't...

    To hard to accecpt ????

    I'm pretty sure people get languages mixed up. So then we all have to dance around what's been said. Urban you differ than the OP. It's easy to type not so easy to have the experience to apply what you say. There is no force here and I do not like robot horses. As far as herd dynamics it's...
