Hi, I'm retiring my mare and one of the retirement liveries I've looked at requests they have their back shoes removed (or all). She has good feet but is always quite sore when she loses a shoe so I'm a bit worried about doing this. She isn't ridden, so do I just have the back shoes taken off...

Hi, can anyone recommend retirement livery in the Greater Manchester or West Yorkshire area? Am looking at Cheshire Retirement Livery but want to see if there is anything nearer. Thank you.

All back to normal now, phew! :)

Thanks HGA. Things seem a bit more settled today, but she still occasionally gives him the evil eye!

Thank you both, that would totally make sense. Defo lots of cuddles for both of them. I've never seen her fluff her tail up before! The smell must be upsetting her and he doesn't understand what he's done wrong :( :( :(

Hi, Has anyone experienced this? Did it sort itself out? My boy cat went in for a dental at the vets yesterday (scale and polish, and 2 teeth out). He has come back almost himself - just a little spaced out after the aesthetic. He was keen to eat last night and the vet had said it was ok...

It does work - I've had friends and family members do it with much success. I've just started it myself and can't believe how easy it is. It's definitely working. I think it's partly physiological - you focus on all the food you can have - the free food, healthy extras etc and this fills you...

I'm sure someone will correct me if I get any of this wrong (don't compete much myself). What are hunter Trials? Basically a cross country competition. What is a double clear round? In show jumping classes, you generally have 2 rounds. If you go clear the first time round then you get...

And so full of energy...

Magnificent beasts...

I paid 4.5K for my all rounder, and her BE record wasn't great. She is worth her weight in gold to me - one of the safest, easiest and most trainable horses I have ever met. I don't think anything would phase her! Her record isn't a reflection of her ability! There will be buyers out there who...

Thank you for your replies. That is reassuring to know. My mare is going to end up in a 6 or 6.25 inch which sounds massive for her!

I bought a Neue Schule Verbindend Universal for my mare, and increased the size by 1/4 of an inch from her usual size as recommended on the Neue Schule website. However it is too small, and pinches slightly. I'm unsure whether to go up another 1/4 or 1/2 an inch (not sure if just 1/4 an inch...

My mare isn't 'cuddly', but she will groom you back if you give her a good scratch. She is quite vocal - neighs when I arrive, neighs when I go in the stable, neighs when I give her a carrot. She doesn't appreciate having arms wrapped around her neck, but she is generally social and likes...

Just seen a post in a Facebook group I am a member of that made me think of this thread. Someone doesn't want to pay for riding lessons - just wants someone who owns a horse to give her and a friend lessons in riding and stable management so she can get a loan over summer!!! I work long...
