Experienced freelance groom available, based near Tarporley in Cheshire, but willing to travel for bigger jobs. I'm happy to do holiday cover, exercising, clipping or anything else you might need. I'm able to drive to and groom at one day and multi day competitions, happy to work for...

Thank you 😊 I do already have some contacts with other freelancers, and we regularly refer work to each other if one of us is not available, or the job is too far out of the way. I also have a couple of contacts who are stabled or train with some big names in the area, so I will start by...

I hadn't thought of driving yards, mainly because that's one area that I don't have any experience with, but I'm a fast learner! How long would you normally be away for? I don't have any yards that I go to everyday as such, it's more holiday cover and riding work, so I can be pretty flexible...

Thank you, I already have my Facebook business page and advertise on my local groups regularly, but I hadn't thought of contacting yards directly. It feels kind of cheeky to do that, but I guess at worst they can say 'no, thanks'.🤷😊

It's been a while since I logged into this forum, good to see it's still going strong.😁 I left my full-time job at a racing yard a few months ago, and set myself up as a freelancer. I also have my HGV license and all the relevant certificates for travelling in the UK and EU, and I was wondering...

There's also one just outside Nantwich, if that's any closer to you? ?

Has anyone dealt with an acute nuchal ligament or muscle injury in the neck? How long was the recovery and what was involved in the rehab? My little ex-racer Handy came in from the field on Thursday afternoon and seemed fine at first. I started grooming him in his stable, but when I touched his...

Hi, is anyone selling a brown Kent & Masters Pony Club MLL "Long Leg" model, preferably 16"? Happy to collect or pay fully insured postage. Thank you!

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is amazing, especially if you like the old Jim Henson film. We also really enjoyed Humans, Locke and Key, iZombie and Altered Carbon recently. I really like Dark as well, but OH isn't a fan, so I'm watching it on my own.

I know you're probably looking for serious answers, but if you get stuck, you could always look on here: Bob Mortimer Cat Names For Sale P.S. She is irresponsibly cute!:)

We also have it on the gallops at work and I really don't like it. It's horrendously dusty when it's dry, we keep having to top it up in places, and we've picked all sorts of random crap out of it, including wire, bits of hard plastic, carpet grip strips and even a 3 pin plug! Some of the bits...

You need to check your facts before you post. The runner was tested back at the yard the day after he ran, along with the rest of the horses there, AFTER the positive results for the first three came to light the night before.

And no one can blame you for it, especially at this time of the year. We as humans don't run to the doctors for every minor sniffle! (At least I don't :p)

Are you seriously suggesting someone whose livelihood depends on the horses in his care being in peak health to perform on the racetrack would risk skipping vaccinations against a disease that's endemic in the UK horse population, and that his vets would sign passports for horses that haven't...

The thing is, McCain's horses must have contracted the virus from somewhere, maybe one of them picked it up at the races or a new arrival from the sales or a different yard brought the virus but didn't show any symptoms during their isolation period. At the end of the day, the symptoms are...
