I also had a black horse who's coat got sun/burnt/bleached/faded to brown in the summer. Have you read the last H&H 'cos there is an article in there about different rug colours and their sun reflective properties, helping to cool a horse in summer with specific types of rugs.

Ahhh! He's! gorgeous! Could tell his breeding without reading your thread I'm sure he'll be happier without those dratted cats causing him bother.....

Oh yes, certainly possible! YO's at previous yard kept dog and bitch (sadly brother & sister) together in a stable (PLEASE don't get me started on that bit!!) and they were surprised when a litter of oodles of pups ensued from 9 month old dogs.....

I can see that from reading the above you are not ready to say goodbye just yet, but I have to agree with all the other posters, please take a step back, look at our little girl and ask yourself what her quality of life really is. I know that when I have a cough I feel poorly and wretched but at...

I love sable GSD's, I had one a few (cough ) years back and I did try and show her, one judge said much the same to me as to your mum MurphysMinder, "I suppose 'it's' a sable, shame...." My girl was from Consort lines too. She stayed the same colour all her life, and all her pups were black and...

I had a nasty accident 18 months ago and as a result am no longer able to ride or/and look after horses so had to sell. I'd love to know what you are doing to get back in the saddle or driving a horse. I was in an electric wheelchair for 6 months (I had also injured my shoulder so couldn't use...

I must admit that I do like to see some kind of reason as to why such a great sounding horse is for sale - and there are MANY solid reasons he could be. He sounds lovely! How much?

Unfortunately already been through the situation Following an accident (not horse related) I can't look after a horse right now and can't work so no money for a horse either so had to sell my two. Luckily both daughters still have their horses and as one still lives at home (daughter, horse at...

One daughters horse decided to stand on my foot, full weight, and I'm sure she purposely ground it into the ramp, when trying to load her to go to Pony Club Summer Camp a few years back. It was a very stressy situation, 2 horses, all the kit for them and 2 teenagers + bikes in 1 4x4. Horse...

Go get 'em tiger! No fear - no hesitation, brilliant!

Following an accident in June 2007 I had to sell 1 horse to raise the money to pay for the air ambulance I'd had to hire for return from Germany, £7,000..... The horse in question was one daughters Eventer, she did sell well going to the USA, but the new owners didn't do so well so we all felt...

Ouch! Poor you, and I guess you have a busy day tomorrow if you were plaiting up! Take wine tonight and pain killers tomorrow.... and smile through it all!

Legally it doesn't really matter weather the car will pull the trailer or not There is a legal requirement, the unladen weight of the towing vehicle MUST weigh more than (and I think there is an actually percentage here) the fully laden weight of the trailer - whether you have anything in the...

How thoughtful of you to grit the road for the cars following you! Just tell everyone you heard the council was running out of sand for the roads and just wanted to help out....

Poor you, loads of hugs being sent your way. There do seem to be too many people out there that seem to think keeping an in pain animal alive is kinder than to let it forever sleep peacefully. I've had to make the same decision as you on more than one occasion and having taken all the facts...
