Thanks guys to help put my mind slightly more at ease. She does have a dog flap too so she can go out into the garden if she needs a wee. I'm probably a bit of a worrier ~ just love her to bits and want what's best for her (like everyone on this forum I guess)

I've got a 3 yo parsons bitch and love her to bits. Every morning I drop her at Mum's on the way to work so she's not home alone during the day, and pick her up on my way home. Very sadly, Mum is now very ill and at some point soon, will no longer be able to look after Mia. I am obviously...

Well I've found my perfect yard !! I love it !! Cannot think of anything I would change if I could.....

Did you see the one in the H&H yesterday ?? A new ergonomic design. Looked nice.

I was on the Premier Equine site earlier and they have some fab deals at the moment (heavy weight with detachable neck). Never had one but friends have and are impressed.

Ha ha me too !! You shouldn't have asked us !! Sounds very exciting !

Thanks for that. She gets turned out for around 9 hours per day at the moment, but longer in the spring/summer.

IMHO I think the behavourial changes are too radical just to be down to old age. Sorry, but I would think something else is the reason and would get him scanned.

Loads of manufacturers are making ' Dubarry style' boots but much cheaper. Dublin River boots look really nice and they're 100 quid instead.

I think I would have to just turn up to be honest. Be polite (not that she deserves it) and at least try to see him, so you can see what state he's in. I don't think you have a choice if she refuses to take any of your calls. Take a friend for moral support ~ somebody very calm.... Good Luck...

Thanks for your reply. She has dropped weight (like yours, she's fully clipped but is currently wearing 2 heavy weight polys with neck tonight) but is actually better for it as she was a bit porky before (very good doer) I am happy with her weight.... just wondered if the temperature could also...

Is there no way you can 'drop in' and say you were passing by ?? Sorry, don't know the situation...... guess it's not really about the £150 but more about the welfare of the horse now. Could you call her and say you've heard he's for sale ? Can you buy him back and deduct the cost of the...

I find myler bits very good. They are extremely helpful on the phone and you can borrow them too so you can try them.

Has she actually paid you for the foal ? If she hasn't paid you I would take the foal back (after making sure he doens't have strangles). People like that don't deserve animals. At the very least, you can report her anonymously to the RSPCA ??? What a sad situation. Hope it gets resolved.

Marlborough Hunter on a Vauxhall Movano chassis ~ absolutely love it ! However, if you have a large horse, it only carries one !! (unless you upgrade to 3.9 t which is easy enough). Drives like a car and really easy to go out by yourself.
