    A week has passed

    I haven’t followed your story but everything everyone has said on this thread is so true. Losing a beloved animal is100% as hard as losing a human. You need to allow yourself to grieve, cry and come to terms with your loss, and that will take time. I lost my horse of a lifetime in April and I...

    a question for the ladies (time of the month related)

    Yes, no issues at all. And the best and most convenient way of dealing with that tom, IMO

    Trust

    I had a horse that I just trusted and it’s honestly one of those things that I can’t describe how or why it happened My friend viewed him for me first and gave him a glowing report so that helped from the get go (it was a horrible wet day and she told me he was an angel even with horses going...

    I'm an anti-social livery and I need advice

    Haha I could have written this too. A yard I was at was over run by kids and I used to LOVE having it to myself. I also enjoyed doing the tasks myself and was of course the only one who could do them right so I totally get where you are coming from. It’s a tricky one! I never resolved the...

    Would you x-ray?

    I always swore I would x Ray my next buy as my sisters horse was irreparably broken even after being vetted. I know vetting doesn’t prevent this and I don’t blame anyone except bad luck. But when your spending upwards of £1000 which is a lot of money to you, on what will be your only horse...

    For those who have given up horses...would you go back?

    I’m currently having an enforced break due to losing mine in April. I’m not currently in a position to get another but hope to at least get weekly lessons in from Oct / nov time. I’ve really noticed the loss of (moderate) fitness and strength I had, and I haven’t been feeling any more flush...

    Flip what a terrible situation for all involved. Be interesting to see what the bloods show. This terrifies me for when I’m horse hunting again. Buying a horse is a gamble for sure!

    Shoeing intervals - how often?

    I booked mine in every 6 weeks. Farrier was a bit tricky to get hold of so I liked having the date of his next visit before he left so I didn’t need to contact him. Occasionally I would have let him go 7 weeks if it helped me out with payday or something, and when I did that it didn’t make a...

    Do You Feed Your Horses Treats?

    I gave my boy a handful of treats a day. Healthy herbal treats. And would always have picked up apples / turnips / carrots n the shop to add to feed. Still go to pick them up in shops when they’re on offer and I lost him in April :( Don’t regret any of the treats I gave him. He did get very...
