I have just seen their post too. I mean, with so many world wide fans apparently asking to donate, they have 'only' raised £9k. I bet they thought they would be inundated and they havent been. I mean, it's a huge amount but nowhere near the £30k they are asking for. I also have second hand...

I am newly horseless but it's unlikely my health will allow riding or ownership anytime soon. I have been walking miles, enjoying a slower mornings without mucking out/turning out and evenings are now for my son. He loved the farm but would disappear off to play so I barely saw him and id feel...

I too think this is a settling and environmental issue. How old is your daughter? What has happened for her to fall off? It sounds very plausible that a new pony, with minimal turnout, who doesn't know or trust their new owners could have some moments that could result in a fall. What is...

Like everyone else has said. He sounds a bored and underworked physically and mentally. I would also get his eyes checked in case he has any issues with his sight (clutching at straws on his behalf!) I treat my children like horses. If they misbehave it's likely they are eating too much sugar...

It's a Haflinger for me. I have owned 2 in my lifetime and they are fab. Strong, clever, fun, versatile, willing and gorgeous and all in a pony sized package. If I ever get my own again it will definitely a Haffie.

It is completely heartbreaking and sadly, what I fear will happen to a young girl at my old yard. She has on more than one occasion been in the middle of a this kind of thing (she often takes treats into the field) and I was reported to the YO as a bully when I told her to not be so silly! (she...

Its sounds completely reasonable to pts together. They wont know anything about it and it sounds like it will be a relief for you, even if heart breaking. Whatever you do will be the right decision for you.

100% a transporter. It's not just the cost of the fuel, it's the effort, the time, the stress, the what ifs (breakdown, horse unsettled, weather, traffic etc). I would definitely rather pay a transporter and know the horse was comfortable and safe.

I am so sorry :( Not the same situation but I have just lost my full loan pony in a sale. You have my sympathies, it is really rubbish :(

Oh I am so sorry to read this. How very heart breaking for you. I completely agree with what others have said regarding sooner rather than later. Particularly for the fact horses will start to be leaving soon and may cause upset to yours. Spend all the time loving on him and know you are doing...

Wowzers!! 😂😂😂

Fab update! And wonderful picture!

I have only had to quarantine once on a new yard properly. Been to a couple that needed you to worm and keep in for a short period of time before going out.

Have you seen your horse in person? I’d be over there asap and on the phone to the vet

My mare is a very messy eater and I have not yet found the best way. I have also tried large buckets, small buckets, wide buckets etc. She will hoover lots of it up so it's not too bad but it's very frustrating at the wastage. I have tried it on a flake of hay but she wont then eat the hay its...
