Has anyone had a recent delivery of rape straw Unibed? I really like my horse on it as its very absorbent and he is wet. I usually only use 2 bales a week. However, the pallet load I have just had delivered is more like wheat straw and not absorbent at all. So far, he has had 2 bales each day...

My head is sore looking at all the joint supplements so looking for help. My ID has coffin joint arthritis, he was diagnosed 3 years ago and is now 21 yrs old. I took his shoes off and after the injections didnt help, I retired him to the field. He is now looking really good and has his...

No, I cancelled my membership last year!

Hi does anyone know of a decent equine lawyer in Scotland? Or someone I can get advice about mis representation

I have since asked him to arrange to pick it up or I will and refund by 18th March. He has refused saying he doesnt have a stable for it!

I bought a horse from a dealer ,unseen ( I have bought unseen before with no problems) and it has been mis sold due to a health issue which he didnt declare. I have asked for a refund and he is saying he will give me a refund in 2 to 3 weeks time. Im not convinced about that! Do i have to...

Thanks for your replies. No Im not a dealer. I bought them with the intention of selling the mare on as I wanted to keep the foal, which I did tell her. I cant take the mare back as I have no stable now as Im keeping the foal. I have copies of all my conversations with her in which she said she...

Apologies in advance for my long post I bought a mare and foal, unseen from Ireland in June. The mare was a bit of a stress head but calmed down and was lovely. Only problem was, you couldnt touch her legs, which I wasnt told. I bought her for her foal with the intention of selling the mare...

I was recently given a mare and her 5 wk old filly foal. The foal has been unhandled, but over the last 2 wks I have been trying to gain her trust. I can scratch her withers but if you go anywhere else, the ears go back and she walks away. I can get a foal slip on but only if I pin her up...

I have a livery on my yard who recently had a bad bout of colitis. He had been on danilon for a while and think that was the cause. He lost a fair bit of weight and as hard as I have tried, I cant get weight on him. He is 18yrs old. Any suggestions on what is best to feed to put weight on. Thank you

Im annoyed that they knew the horse had lice and didn't say and brought the horse to the yard. If they can be underhand and do that, I don't think it is a very good start to moving to a new yard.

I have a livery that arrived before lockdown. She kept putting her arrival date off but eventually the horse arrived. Its not been out in the field and Ive been given excuse after excuse. They have now told me the horse has lice and has had for the last 5 wks! Luckily, it is in a stable block...

I have 4, only 2 are shod and are happy hackers. Other 2 are field ornaments. I am £35 wk for all 4 and thats for everything! Well, thats what I tell my hubby, but I dont think he believes me!

He has been tested and had xrays done and its definitely arthritis in his coffin joints. He is gradually losing weight, but just thought a bit of exercise would help plus give him something different to do

My ID gelding was diagnosed a year ago with coffin joint arthritis in both front feet. I have been down the road of injections, which didnt work. I have ridden him once or twice in the last year as I felt really bad when he was going over rough bits in the road as he really felt them. However...
