The field will not cope with leaving them out. And I have no field shelter. I wouldn't put one out due the wind here being really bad, I've seen even the most tied down shelters go flying. I'll stop the carrots tonight! I'll also look at the magnesium thing!

I have a Welsh A mare. In the summer she is an angel! She grows wings and is the most lovely, sweetest pony! In the winter, she is Satan reincarnated, and I'm absolutely terrified of her! In the summer, we go out for lovely walks in hand, and she is calm and gentle. I cannot do that in winter...

I ride and lead most of the time as I'm only a happy hacker and mine and husbands pony suffer from separation anxiety so it just makes life so much easier! I always have hi viz on myself and both horses (in case we part company then there is not a non hi viz horse loose on the roads!) Mine wear...

I do know someone with 3 horses and although she works full time she manages to afford them by not paying her livery or farrier bills...!!

I don't any of this either! I live on baked beans, never smoked or drank and don't go out and the only reason I have a trailer is because my husband bought it. Prior to that I'd been saving for nearly 10 years and only managed to buy a dinky toys horse trailer!!!! Must be in the wrong career as...

Lincolnshire not so cheap any more due to Mr Dyson of Dyson Hoovers owning most of it and buying up any land that goes up for sale therefore pushing the prices up! I only know because my in laws own a farm there thats been in the family for hundreds of years but they would never be able to...

I did! Got a lovely letter and a photograph from one owner but heard nothing from the other I wrote to.

I purchased my horse (my first and only) using money from inheritance. I work full time and keep her on DIY but after all my horse, car and living expenses I don't have much disposable income left to put in to savings towards a future new horse. Just wondering how others afford multiple horses...

I'm a support worker. I work with adults with learning difficulties. I work 8am to 2pm Tuesday so get the rest of the afternoon and evening for horses, start at 4pm Wednesdays so have all morning and afternoon with them. Finish at 3.30pm on Thursday and Friday, then work every other weekend...

I went to a university 45 minutes away from home so kept her on Diy and commuted daily. I worked evenings and weekends waitressing and was a film extra on my days off and during holidays. Got her in my second year of university and had her 10 years now!

I'm at work trying not to laugh too loudly but that's one expensive fart!!

Oh and ironic thing was that the vet on call lives in the village where the stables are!

Yes i thought she had broken her pelvis or something! Glad its not just me! :)

Oh we did the whole nerve blocking thing first! 2 doses, plus bute, shoe removal, etc etc! But I have complained. ..

I just got a vet bill for £350 for what essentially turned out to be an over dramatic horse with thrush/abscess! She was on 3 legs and wouldn't move so I panicked and rang the vet. Out of hours it was too! Typical! If only I had known that a hot poultice and a visit from the farrier was all...
