I've just seen a reel on Facebook. My god the comments. No they weren't "so young"!

My vets have started making new customers pay up front for the first 4 visits as they've been bitten too many times.

Woke early and decided to check the forecast for today. Very excited to see it says rain ending in 2 mins so stuck my hand out of the window. Nothing. Window ledge dry as a bone.

When my 2 horses got it they'd only just gone on to 1.5 acres of good grass that hadn't been grazed for 6 months . 1 died a few hours after the first symptoms despite iv fluids, the other spent 5 days on iv fluids but recovered. Bith were very fit and in good condition. I wouldn't make any...

Having experienced AM and my horse being a survivor, no way would I risk it. We're my 2 got it there'd been horses for over 40 years with no known issues and we got the unlucky year. It's a week I would do anything to avoid experiencing again.

Just be aware that Bedfordshire; despite being one of the driest areas, had the A121 closed for a couple of weeks due to flooding at the end of September.

Mumsnet forum has the contact for an investigating Staffordshire police officer if anyone has anything they feel they need to let them know.

I've done turning round when you realise the hunt are in the woods passage and peacock walk to canter with pirouette. That did require full tail display though.

Collecting ring rain challenge - most legible whiteboard after 30 minutes of downpour.

Friend hired the mini cross country and got a phone call when she was already on her way (we are only 10 minutes away) to say it was cancelled - too wet apparently despite it not having rained for a couple of days.

One of ours is a very noisy sleeper. All sorts of whiffles, grunts, yips, lip smacking, growling with the occasional howl. All accompanied by lots of tail wagging and twitches. The other sleeps like a log with barely a twitch or sound.

The fashion was going that way before i stopped being an XC collecting ring steward. When there are umpteen bay horses in a large collecting area it's more helpful to say to someone - you're after number 26 in the lime green/purple/turquoise than they are wearing navy and riding a bay just like...

I once put up a wanted ad for a 15.2-16.2 gelding (yard is geldings only). I got loads of responses but most of them were mares and the geldings were all either 14.2 or 17h.

In my area they are very active in protecting bridleways. They also run a couple of sponsored rides that Air Ambulance benefit from and have recently run trailer reversing courses for a very low cost.
