    Mystery hind lameness, getting worse, no improvement on Bute, vet says PTS - what do I do?

    South West Referrals at Nutwell in Exeter would be a potentially good place to start, closer than Western Counties, if you wanted to take her somewhere to be worked up

    Self insuring - Looking at best catastrophic policy out there ?

    I did think it was odd at the time but just wasn’t bothered enough to pay to get my vet to send a letter arguing the exclusions

    Self insuring - Looking at best catastrophic policy out there ?

    I took out the KBIS policy the first year it came out as it seemed to meet my needs quite sensibly on a horse that otherwise had 2 exclusions. It came to renewal (no claims on the policy) and they asked for the horse’s veterinary history - which I thought was odd for what is essentially an...

    Is there a market for 2nd hand stuff?

    I’ve sold a lot of items via Facebook- Mainly premium brands where I’ve gone off a colour or no long require. As others have said it’s all to do with pricing. I tend to sell at 50% of retail. People want to think they are getting a bargain! I have bought on a couple of occasions but only when I...
