    controversial Post people who can’t afford their horse

    Horse ownership has always been expensive. Nowadays there is far more stuff that people seem to think they need or want. A lot can be saved if you only purchase the essentials. In my adult life I have had 6 holidays usually only 5 day jobs. I don't mind that. It has a been a choice I decided to...

    Adopting horse from Malta

    OP look for a retired or off the field ex polo pony. Usually lovely easy horses and not all are broken, some just get fed up or don't take to the game. Often reasonably priced to a good home. Several FB pages for them. It might take a while but worth the wait for a nice one and it will give some...

    Suitable dogs for older people

    Our working chap is 24 tts and 20kgs. The rest of the litter, small and dainty. He is all whippet but he is huge. How weird that yours is similar.

    Suitable dogs for older people

    They are beautiful. Lovely soft eyes. I'd not had a working line before this one. He is a super dog but very definitely has a mind of his own and a wanderlust that I've never had with any of the others previously. If I could work out how to do pics I would post one up. (computer always says no)...

    Can’t cope with cat peeing on everything

    I used to breed cats years ago and one kitten in one litter did this. I have no idea why. He always did it until he was allowed out to be a cat. My take on it was that being in just stressed him. Not sure what you can do in a rented property with a busy road, other than try to rehome to a...

    Suitable dogs for older people

    Well I would say a whippet. Yes they like a run but ours are happy with a run at the yard in the morning but only if they are allowed to sleep for the rest of the day. They are really sofa dogs. They are easy to have around, don't require hours of grooming and seem fairly robust healthwise. We...

    Off grid yard - tips?

    Thank you. You are a darling. That makes more sense to me, the ultimate techno numpty. Will look into it. Where am I putting the dongle thingy? (keep it clean) Is it next to camera or what?
