First time breeder here. Looking at breeding my Irish Sport (blue book - horse sport Ireland) with a KWPN stallion. What stud books will this foal be eligible for registration? Tia

So my warmblood mare has always been a fidget, and in spring her energy levels sky rocket but she has never been unrideable until now. When she's ridden in the school shes started violently head shaking and threatening rears. However out hacking or if there's a jump in front of her she's a quiet...

Hi all, I am having to apply for a new passport and will need to send off a bill of sale to confirm ownership of my gelding. The old owner is happy enough to get one signed and sorted, but she actually gave me him for free so there was no exchange of money - does anyone have any idea of a...

I'm looking at breeding my Friesian mare in the next few years but I read that there are no KFPS "approved" stallions in the UK. Does this mean for the foal to be eligible for a KFPS passport the sire must be selected from the very few approved ones overseas? My mare is KFPS papered but hasn't...

Thank you! I probably should have said its British Showjumping I do so am after some info on that x

Hi all, this is probably the most daft question in the world but its something I've always wondered! When a horse qualifies for something, is it the horse and rider combination that qualifies or just the horse alone? I am buying a horse which has qualified Scope 2014 (I can't compete that day...

Will have to have a look but nothing obvious. Never thought about teeth very good point... thanks

Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read this. So my new(ish) gelding has recently had swelling of the lymph nodes between his cheeks underneath his jaw. I only noticed this today however it does seem painful to touch. It is quite hard so not fluid filled. He doesn't have any strangles...

Forgot to say she hasnt been in a trailer with another horse before

Sidney I know, theyre good boxes - people just like to exaggerate on here ;) I keep the partition in when I travel her, so it shouldnt be a space issue. My friend suggested that she's got comfortable with it being her own area, and she sees is as the other horse invading this space which would...

She is a 15.2 warmblood but a very mareish mare - squeals and kicks everything in the field! Would her feeling unbalanced in an overloaded lorry cause her to take it out on the horse beside her? I personally feel that she was more aggrovated by the presence of the other horse rather than...

We worked out that it could take about 1100 kilos including ourselves. The two horses were similar in weight and together dont weigh nearly that much. They are not big horses. She used to be in a riding school which is why I know she is happy to travel in a big load, not because I've done so...

As above, really. I have a 3.5t renault master conversion horsebox, which my horse travels in perfect.. on her own. But we tried her in it with another mare (who is really calm and friendly) and I dont think I've ever seen her panic so much in her life! We hadnt even closed the doors yet...

I am yet to read the rest of the thread but i cannot stress enough, this is NOT true!! I am very close with the girl and her family and i know that all they want is their horse back. The SSPCA are still to come up with a reasonable, backed-up excuse as to why the horse was seized, as vets giving...

I dont really know why, its not up to me to decide when she goes out unfortunately. she gets out in a school for a run around every now and then but only by herself
