I have only just seen this, but just want to say that because a lot of the posts were deflamtory they were definately removed following my advice.

Does anyone know of any that will be on in the east midlands area soon? Broomfield in Derby arent having any more this year and dont know if there is anyone else who has them.

I have a friend who bought a horse several years ago from a very dodgy dealer. His chip when scanned gives the number of a horse who is apparently living in Ireland. (My friends horse is in Derbyshire!) She has been upset because she cannot trace the horses history, but its details are very...

Bump, bump

Wondering if there are any good yards in the east midlands (preferably Derbyshire) where I can send my lovely quality 16.2 5year old gelding to sell. I have absolutely no facilities to work and show him off and am realising that he needs to go somewhere better. Just dont know of any thats not...

I would expect a good sound viceless full up 14.2, no older than 10 with BS winnings, jumping in at least Newcomers.

I had several missed calls and eventually took a call from someone calling herself Diane in response to my horse for sale advert. I am selling both my horses as I am having to retire from riding and it is heartbreaking enough without being messed about. I explained that I dont live where I...

I would not call him a project horse - it gives people the idea he has issues. I would say he is a very normal 5yo, as if he had done more at 5 you could say he has done too much too early! I would emphasise that he has never raced or been in training, so he is not a throw-out. If he has no...

I had a pony like that and it was tiny little microscopic mites. I used a Dermaline sweet itch lotion on him. It contains pyrethryn, which is the only thing that kills them and they dont come back. I used to drizzle it along his mane, back and top of tail and its like a clear thin gel liquid...

Has it HOYs potential? Is it a potential JA? In that case, could be a bargain!!! Only kidding! Probably just average potential, so VERY overpriced!

They definately work, not just for arthritis, but for everything! They put the body back in balance and the body heals itself, as healing properties are in the circulation. I have worn one for over 10years now and would not be without it.

Just want to say - Zoeshiloh - dont be cheeky by trying any horses and then insulting the owners with low offers. If you are going to try any, you should always tell the vendor that it is over your budget, and then ask if they mind you viewing and trying the horse. The vendor then knows you...

Sorry to hear your horse is coughing. Is there no way he can live out 24/7 at least till he is better, even if it means rugging at night? No matter how clean and dust free a stable is, you cant beat good old fresh air.

Yes, its true that horses are naturally frightened of pigs as the wild boar was a predator which preyed on horses when they were only the size of a rabbit. Is there any way you can let your horse see one close up in a pen? I did this once with a flighty TB and because he was able to stand...

Once a horse has learnt to spin and bolt, there is no way you can get him to un-learn it. If you had an accident and survived, but perhaps your horse didnt, how would you feel then? Far better not to be wise after the event, but to be wise before it and move yards! In todays traffic...
