    Spring - on the way 😀 ???

    It's been sunny in Cambridgeshire today and hasn't rained much for a couple of days. It feels like Spring is finally on its way.

    Can I see any adults riding 14.2 / 14.3h ponies please?

    It's one of my favourite photos! 🤣 She was out of work and in full winter coat, she was basically round.🤣

    Distressing to see

    You definitely did the right thing. I can see that the owner of the mare could be upset though, she's probably mortified and embarrassed. It's a horrible thing to happen, I hope the older horse is ok.

    50g or no fill rugs?

    My 50g Shires Tempest gets loads of use on my elderly unclipped fjord. She's a lot slimmer than she used to be so I rug her more, a 50g is perfect for the majority of the time.

    Cheeky/ridiculous posts you see on Facebook.

    If it's a safe as houses little dope on a rope, then a novice child could enjoy pampering them, but you're unlikely to find someone committed to twice daily visits. Or a horse someone could do groundwork with could make a nice share, but if the owner is expecting to be able to step away from the...

    Bad outcomes/luck linked to a specific place?

    I've got nothing particularly useful to say but I hope things improve for your friend. I agree with some of the previous posts, more horses could just equal the probability of more issues, and it is easy to focus on the things that go wrong. That said, sometimes people just seem to have all the...

    "Rescuing" horses from auctions

    The owner has put a video on FB to say that they are displeased with the misleading headline, as it may put people off from booking with them, as it implies they may close.

    Head over heart decisions

    I am so very sorry you are dealing with this. I know it is far easier to say than to do, but I do think that PTS would be a perfectly reasonable call. They both have issues which are not going to improve and I would be worried about how bad things could get, especially with pain/sensitivity for...
