Her book is on my shopping list!
She made a terrible mistake that ruined her reputation, but nevertheless I think her work is so important to horse welfare.
To those worrying about God elections, I believe Terry Pratchett has solved this problem. Gods need belief to exist. Therefore, I am a believer in this marvellous new God and worship at the altar of Blitznbobs!
Not me but a horse trainer I used to trim for. His mare was really snatchy with her feet and would fling the fronts forward. He got kicked in the nuts every single time! I used to tell him there were less painful methods of birth control because I'm dead sympathetic!
A horse I know of locally was diagnosed with covid a couple of weeks ago. I didn't get the chance to ask much about it, but I was surprised the vet thought to test for it!
I only ride side saddle. Made the switch fir medical reasons about 5 years ago.
Finding a saddle to fit you and your horse is the hardest bit (especially when you have a shire). Saddles typically cost £1500-3000 and my girths were £100 each.
Check out the side saddle association- they're really...

My lurcher x is scared of lambs. And cows. And bangs. Bit of a bugger when they horse's fields back on to a paintball activity centre and there are lambs in the fields on the other side 🙄
Flex boots fasten in a similar way to easy boot gloves I believe. You could have a gander at the hoof bootique website to check out how the various boots fasten. Depending on your budget, renegades might be worth looking at too?
I am so glad this thread has been resurrected as I am going through a very trying phase with my adolescent rescue lurcher x and keep expecting to see posts moaning about us on the irresponsible owners thread 🙈. I am really trying my best but this thread has made me realise that actually things...
Thanks everyone, really useful feedback. It sounds like the response to pet remedy is very individual. I have ordered an adaptil collar. Fingers crossed that helps him.
