Hello! I'm more of a lurker than a poster nowadays, and can't update my signature as appear to have lost all I.T related skills since getting a new phone..but I have an oldie- a 37 year old welshie 😊 Ironically, one of my first posts on this forum was about pts...and four years later...

Thank you all for your responses and letting me here your experiences- it's much appreciated!

Thank you both :) Do you know if there is a possibility of spread through sharing tack/rugs? I really should do my research but this is a good place to start - there's a wealth of experience to be learnt from!

Thank you Hereshoping :) like I say, I'm shamefully uneducated on sarcoids, so I'm very grateful for your reply.

Hi All It's been forever since I last came on here, but nice to see that a lot of the familiar faces I remember are still about! I have a question re sarcoids, which might sound incredibly dim, but having never dealt with any to date (touch wood!) Im very uneducated on them, in fact...

Oh and by "pms" I mean private messages, not pre menstrual stress!

Well, I joined here about 3 years ago, maybe 2 actually. I wanted advice re PTS and experiences as I was worried about what to do when the time came. I got some lovely replies advice and pms, all of which were very insightful. People were incredibly kind and drew on personal experiences to help...

OP, without meaning to sound like a bitch, I do think you will need to lose a bit of weight before you and the horse you ride will/can enjoy yourselves. Don't take this thread or my post as an insult, but use it as a motivational tool to get fit, be able to wear nice riding clothes that flatter...

Yes I read it as pictures the OP had saved as comparison stories. If this is real, I really admire you and your friend OP, and I'm very pleased that Gamble has ended up with you both.

Ah I had been waiting for this thread since you're showing kit post. Massive congratulations to you both! Hugo looks fantastic (and lovely in blue too!) well done :)

I'm not a shower really either but here's some ideas (I'm sure someone else will be of much more help!) Clean brushes of all varieties A hoof pick- I usually have 2 just incase Spare plaiting bands for a quick fix Plaiting thread and needle Showing cane if appropriate Spare hairnet A...

I certainly wouldn't compromise with ground manners now. As someone else has mentioned also, my two daughters spend a lot of time with our horses and liveries too and I feel completely at ease when they are around the horses. That being said, I wouldn't write off small issues that could be...

Sounds like a wonderful chap. Sorry to his family and friends x
