    Would you lend me your car ?

    Advice please

    What are your insurance company saying about this situation ? I know they exclude colic in first few days but surely if the horse was injured during transport or immediately kicked in field they would cover him ? If you pay out several £k's for a horse and it's yours the minute it's on the...

    Finding items on my fence posts?

    Apparently people hang trainers from a tree branch to indicate magic mushrooms in a field. Incredibly I have found both at my field, trainer tied to a tree branch and hippies in the the field scavenging for mushrooms ! Separate occasions but nevertheless intriguing !

    Livery -v- daughter 🙁

    TBH I would send the new mare back and look for a gelding. I have a mare like this who forms attachments to other horses - mares or geldings.

    Worming tips ?

    I can stroke his muzzle with the syringe and even begin to gently insert the tip in the corner of his mouth but at that point he swings his head up so quickly I don’t get that nanosecond to squirt it in, so frustrating :-(
