No She cannot see any other foals, and her foal is staying with me so is no where near mum. :-(

OBO of my friend:- Need advice! My foal was weaned on the 23rd march she was 8 months old. The mare seems to be still producing milk? Does anyone know why this could be? Im worried if I return the filly back in with her mother then she will start to suckle again and the mare is back in work...

THANK you everyone for your comments, VERY VERY helpful. I don't own the horse but it belongs to a friend who is selling him as she has not got the time for him due to family etc etc and something has to give. it's nice to know where she stands on selling him. Or If I was to take him on and...

Does anyone know much about this? If a horse is stamped loss of use or branded it etc from Eventing due to a big injury which included surgery. Im not sure of the in's and out's. If this horse is now sound and well and in work could it compete BSJA? Or even just unafilliated stuff? Or is it...

I use 1 large round bale per week if Im lucky and thats Feeding 7 I agree a large square will prob go off quicker than you can use it. maybe see if you could get someone to go half's with you. :-)

defo worth the wait we NEARLY have canter nicely on both reins now, we have it on 1 rein and nearly on the other. THANK GOD!!! been XC schooling and hopefully are well on our way again. YIPPIEEEEE!!!!! :-)

Can anyone shed any light on this for me please?? I have tried to research this to see what benefits it has?? A friends horse is having this in his water to help balance the gut? something to do with producing too much protein? how does this help?? Also the horse is sharing a field with...
