I event my young Tb up to PN level (hope to get to Novice without shoes) went to Munstead (light sand/soil), Iping (sand/soil/hard) Coomblands/Pulborough (clay) Borde Hill (BOG!!!) Rackham (sand/soil), Tweseldown (heavy/deep sandy going) I think the key is you RIDE differently...

Thank you, yes, I think that's all I was asking, "was I thinking straight", and although there are other opinions..... at the mo, unless there I have a fairy godmother about to appear things are heading in "that" direction. thank you for your kind words xxxx

Right.... I do not take kindly to being picked apart in such awful circumstances, I would like to see how some of you cope in the same situation. We all make sacrifices to enable us to do and have the things we want. I have a decent full time job, I own my own home, and old banger of a car...

Thank you, I really apreciate these honest but realistic comments, I would hate to find out that I had ever done him wrong. I am very much in denial about it all, but I know what has to come. xxx

To have a horse pts by the vet would cost me £110 (jab) £35 (call out) £25 (nurse fee) £260 (collection) = £430 and I think that would be + Vat on the vets fees.... My local, trusted, hunt charge £200 all in. and I know it is very quick, where as a fit fiesty chap like my boy will cause the...

Thank you touchstone for your correct assessment of the situation. I am sat here at work in floods of tears after spending the last year trying to resolve this, now at the end of my financial and emotional tether.

Thank you :) it calms me to have a post mirroring my thoughts exactly. Xx

I have tried and failed to rehome him several times in the last year. I now do not have the facilities to have him back. And once re-homed.....will this just keep hapening? because he is a good looking pony people think he is fine. and most who have come to see him for a companion say "ooh...

Thank you so much for all your thoughts, it has helped me allot, feel like im not going mad. I know really that for mine and his sake I should have him shot by my local huntsman (would never bother with injection in this case as far too expensive and it’s the same result). I had...

Please help..... I have a 13hh3 15yo gelding who has degenerative joint problem in his knees. (Jumping injury at last loan home) basicly the cartilage is buggered and will get worse with time. I claimed on insurance and went the whole way with x-rays, joint injections, MRI. surgery was not...
