I got my show line whippet 5.5 yrs ago and I’ll always have one, he’s incredibly easy. He’s too tall and too long despite being KC. Even though he’s show bred he’s a keen (but not very good) hunter. He was difficult to train as he’s not foody or toy oriented but has pretty much perfect recall...

My parents had 2 (one after the other. The first died following a GDV op at about 2, the second was pts due to a bone tumour at 8. She’d also had GDV but pulled through. Both lived with small dogs, sheep, chickens and cats. I’d have another but haven’t the space. The second wasn’t great with...

Thanks for that Clodagh, might get some of that as well. https://countrymun.com/leather-stopper-pad-protectors.html I’ve also seen these which look quite good. My boy is constantly grazing them, he’ll also give himself carpet burn playing in the house. His other common place for cuts is his...

My whippet keeps grazing his stopper pads quite badly. They then take quite a while to heal. Has anyone used these? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neoprene-Stopper-Carpal-Protectors-Medium/dp/B01HFJ2DVW?th=1

Thanks for all the ideas, much to think about :-)

Unfortunately can't afford either to buy or run a shogun �� I've heard a little about the Honda, that's another to add to the list �� Think I'll need to go test drive some

Planning on doing my b+e test imminently so looking to upgrade my car so I can tow. Needs to still be pretty economical as will be used for commuting and I'm used to my Ford Focus. It will be towinga 505 and one horse so total approx 1500kg but looking at capability of 2000kg minimum. Planning...

thanks elliejhb will take a look there and will contact her after Christmas. Thanks fredflop will take a look in robinsons if I come up to look at yards but currently still an hour away.

I posted this on the regional board but didn't get any replies so thought I'd try here. I'm moving to haydock (working in leigh) in February so looking for part/full livery. Must have decent flood lit arena, daily turnout in winter and ok hacking. Any ideas? Or where to avoid as well. Thanks

Thank you, do you know roughly what she charges?

I know this is an old thread but looking to get someone out to check my new horse and wondering if people's recommendations were still the same?

I know this a very old thread but I was wondering if you knew if this yard was still open and have been to it recently?

Ya I'm trying to find more places that offer livery but it's very difficult to find information online, places don't seem to have websites!

Thanks for all the replys, I had in my head a ball park of 500 per month all in so looks like I should be easily covered. Just need to work out if I can afford that and still put a bit aside. Also need to price other livery yards and see if I can get it cheaper but still have good facilities.
