    Chiltern Equine closed down

    eVet drug have just posted this on Instagram. I’m not on Facebook to see it there but I expect it was posted across all platforms.

    this is just about the most arrogant piece I have read in a long time.

    I don’t follow her because of the condescending tripe she posts and the cult like following she has. Just went to have a look at the post mentioned here. Wow, and she has the front to post on her page about welfare! I was reading that with a real hope that at the end she’d say she put an end...

    Turning away 3yr old

    We just pick up the pieces of all the broken young horses who have been started too soon, done too much and had no break. OP, there is plenty you can do that doesn’t involve ridden work, inhand stuff is great to show them the world, teach them about themselves and get them using their brain...

    'Horse whisperers' - are they ethical?

    I had one, did a distance reading - it wasn’t overly expensive so I thought I’d give it a whirl, I’d heard friends use this person with believable results so in for a Penny and all that. Now, I bred my horse, he has never left my care, never been ridden by anyone else, I backed him, I have done...

    Toyota RAV4 and towing

    We towed a CL single trailer and one 500KG horse no problem. I think the towing capacity on ours was 2200kg. My mum also towed her medium sized caravan all over Europe with it fully loaded.

    There are rope rounding connecting the bit and hackamore too. Awful

    Colic paranoia!

    I have a reolink camera, but I will say, it doesn't ease the anxiety. My boy (homebred) appears to be prone to a colic episodes, which always end up in a night in the horse hospital. He is a lazy dumpling and a growing baby, he sleeps a lot! The anxiety I feel watching him on the camera is a...

    Best place to sell a saddle?

    Snap, got a flat seat and SD panels to sell, can't seem to give the damn things away! Selling them would free up some money for a new saddle.

    Pictures 16.3 WB in a Cheval Liberte Touring double

    U had to sell my CL touring country with tack room as it just wasn't big enough for my 16.3hh/17hh gelding, he wears a 6'9" rug and has a long neck and high head carriage. It was just too cramped for him. I did buy bread bars so I could take the partition out but that didn't work for him either...

    Catlips Farm sad news

    I sadly lost my horse of a lifetime last week, very soon after my friend texted me to say Shelia had passed away. When I first bought that horse I could not get a saddle to fit her for love nor money, Shelia sorted us out and I was able to start riding my new horse! Over the years I had so...
