Anyone?? :)

Are there really hay shortages this year?? I guess the long cold winter hasn't helped but its not like last summer was a wash out...from what I remember it was perfect hay making weather! I sometimes get the feeling there is a secret group of hay merchants somewhere that make up these stories to...

I think it depends what you are breeding for. Like you said, any pure breed will probably have a passport with their breed society as that is who they will be registered with. "Pet" horses are probably passported with ID-only PIOs for example, the Horse Passport Agency or BHS or Weatherbys (they...

Thanks...I have learnt my lesson now :(

I got down to the yard this morning to find there had been a leak and my clippers have drowned. Is there any hope for them? I have had them years but looked after them so well they are like new, and I really can't afford any more. Very very sad :(

Personally I wouldnt use pig oil and sulphur (I did think about it until I got a packet of sulphur and noticed it was an irritant!).Sounds like it could be mallenders to me (if hes not itching/stamping his feet) but to be honest if its that bad its bleeding I would get the vet out. They might...

I got a pair from here: http://www.uttingsoutdoors.co.uk/ Although I have to say they were leaking after a couple of weeks! But they did send me a new pair, no fuss. Don't think I will buy Hunters again to be honest...

Thanks :)

I am very fussy!!! :)

In terms of sharing/loaning my horse I was wondering if I could get some advice. I sadly can't afford to keep him by myself any more and I can't sell him... so I thought I would try and find someone to help me out. I am going to do it by word of mouth as I want someone I know. I also want to...

He looks cracking! Nice to see you back :)

Not just for the meat trade, if passports worked and NED was accurate it could potentially be a really useful resource for the prevention and control of infectious equine diseases-something that will affect us all. It sounds like the industry is starting to work towards sorting this system out...

Didn't Blue Hors Matine have to be PTS after breaking a leg whilst turned out?

I was having this conversation with people down at the yard tonight-quite a few of them work at various studs around the town. We worked out that even though I am on a decent wage, because they get accommodation, bills etc paid as part of their jobs they probably earn twice as much as me if you...
