Please don't believe the things they said to you! A few grubby marks on a horse is absolutely no welfare issue at all (my grey is currently a sort of beige colour) and unless your horse is super tidy, their stable will always look a mess in the morning. And I always think it's far better to have...

Shed Centre and Fencing in Glenrothes has a FB page, which is where he says he works. Can you contact them to check?

Oh no, I'm so very sorry. She was a beautiful girl, what a cracking jumping picture.

Thank you for the update. It must have been a very distressing day for him. I really hope all involved are OK.

Oh I love the idea of a random hoof lift! What a great idea, it also teaches them it's OK if they get a stone stuck whilst walking somewhere. I'll add that to the list!

Angel has now had all 4 feet trimmed, and another session is booked to tidy them up. I'm picking her feet out every day and she's been great with her fronts, with the backs improving. I normally do them with her loose, after shes had her dinner, while she's stuffing her face with hay...
