Wasn’t he out of action for 18 months ? Soundness issues. The GFM if 80k for 50%? Im sure she will reach the target. She has a big fan base.

And this is the second go fund me? She recently was asking for money to buy another horse she was riding I’m sure there was another one.

I have always said headcollars. Halter sounded more an American term

I have a 17.1 in a 12x12 stable. With big banks. I’ve seen shoe scuff marks on the right hand side wall. So I do worry about him getting cast. Unfortunately all stables are the same size

Im shocked. Wow. 12 pounds for a square small bale.

I’ve not really kept anything personal from the three I’ve recently lost. I’d never have any memory jewellery bracelets etc. Horse shoes or locks of mane:tail. Funny enough , it’s the rugs that I’ve found harder to let go of. The hair is still on the underside. Their distinctive smell lingers...

My hay supplier said he will be out by February. I have some hay in reserve but with four horses, it won’t last long. I’ve deliberately kept a field back to put them on in the spring. It’s worrying. Im East Anglia and we had a terrible harvest.

I’ve recorded it as hubby pulled a face and wanted to watch a movie

I bought 60 bales off the field as a reserve. 4.50 a bale. This is east Anglia. My usual hay supplier is 40 pounds a big round bale. He hasn’t increased. But said he will be out by February and hasn’t taken on any new customers. I managed to get 6 big bales of Haylage, which I’ve stored. They...

Split onto pads and put in black bags. Your get lots more in your boot that way. And stack in the passenger foot well. Passenger seat. Etc

I’m sorry. It sounds horrendous. And after nearly 5 years of this behaviour, which is clearly getting worse, then I’d be pulling the plug. I had issues with an ex racer who was similar to you. Summer was ok ish, winter was awful. And behaviour under saddle was dangerous. He was on every calmer...

When I was looking. As a companion type. So many were ‘nervous, unpredictable, hard to catch, difficult with picking the feet out’. I couldn’t be bothered with all of that. I’m not spending hours in the dark trying to bring in a feral pony in the winter.

Ok. So I’m a cleaner. It fits in around my horses. And covers their costs. I charge 20 pounds per hour. And only work locally. I can turn out my four. Do the stables. Ride one. And still be at clients house by 9am. Many are empty and I have keys, as they are at work. So I can also work around...

My friends pony had sudden water diarrhoea and wasn’t right. In the end she had a scan. There was a blockage in her bowel so the poo was having to squeeze past. Hence the water

I have one exactly the same. Absolutely fine in the summer. Out with the others 24/7. Albeit individual turnout. In the winter, I have to bring all in because we are on clay. Luckily , I rent my yard so all go out and in one after the other. I HAVE to turn him out first. And HAVE to get him in...
