Thank you for responses :) Slinky_unicorn and F_S- all suggestions greatly received, thanks! i'm near Moreton Morrell if that helps :)

Hey :) I'm looking for a horse to share due to me having 6 months off injured (not allowed to play with young horses anymore!!)- really want something to school a bit and maybe jump as I only have my old 20 yr old to ride currently. Have asked around friends/clients yards and people are...

Would depend how many xray views as usually charged per view. Would say roughly £500-600 ish but I'd phone 2 or 3 vets for quotes. Also usually more if have navicular shots taken as invloves vet removing shoes (unless farrier happens to be there?!) and if highly strung will be sedation on top.

Can you change her routine to give you more time and energy? Can she live out now getting milder? Can you muck out before work if you go down earlier so you get to relax in lunch hour a bit? Could you get YO to muck out 2 x week so you can do something with her before/after work? Or leave...

If she has no other colic episodes in the next year or two speak to insurance co. when you are due for renewal. As due to wire as opposed to random twist or entrapment etc may be able to get letter from the vet saying not been seen for colic since. At least if theyput it down to trauma then may...

A certain insurance company (beginning with e!) are really hard to get money out of and awful to deal with if you call to chase a claim. Also be wary that horse-insurance.co.uk are a divison of said company but they, funnily enough, dont mention this! I have used NFU and petplan and I find...

Speaking from someone who has had about 10 claims in the last few years for various horses I would definitely still insure her! They wont cover colic unless you can argue it was caused by something random that is not likely to occur, and then they MAY cover her in the future ( I work at a...

Not sure about that rug but the Masta's I have are huge on my chunky Tb and TB x ID. Really big round neck even on last hole so I'd go for smaller size if I got another one :)

The age old question!! Personally having sat and worked this out a few times I think its cheaper having 4x4 and trailer. One lot of insurance and tax and most importantly repairs. My OH is a mechanic so we only pay cost for parts and no labour. Still works out cheaper only having 1 vehicle...

I have an Equitrek Show Trekka L, its about 6 yesrs old. To be honest I'm not sure if I would buy one again. I am very happy with it now but having had a new ramp was very unimpressed with the service from the HQ. I bought it 2nd hand but in very good condition and OH is a mechanic so...

No sorry, I did my training with her so know she is good but not sure on pricing. She is very nice so call he and have a chat :)

Yeah, Claire Barnes- she is McTimoney-Corley 01873 890230. She is monmouthshire but travels.

I need to get my big horse going again (long story, summary: I bought to re-break as had bit of traumatic start, good as gold to lunge, long rein, lean over, etc. Mounting now fine, started riding on a bit, perfect. 4 weeks ago spooked and scared himself then reared/plunged resulting in me...

Without wanting to sound horrible- she sounds like she doesnt deserve the pony at all, why should she have it back when she decides she can be bothered??! If its a nice pony and would be a good mount for a more grateful child I would sell it. Otherwise you run the risk of loaning and...

Yep- you are fine with someone sitting with you that is pre 97 licence. :) Its just for driving lorries you need a test passer sat with you I gather. Have fun, I went miles with my (older friend sat with me on L plates- she had never towed but I was very competent so felt fine and was ok...
