My mum was a professional dress maker and worked in all types of materials etc- she happily Mae my wedding dress but would disown me at the thought of making jodhs! As others have said, the fabric is awful to work with and requires special stitch types etc due to it's elasticity. I would...

Thank you Pendelhog- hadn't thought of a fosterer!! Will get googling.... And if any such fosterers are reading this in the midlands, PM me!

There are definitely loads of different opinions on this- it seems to be luck of the draw whether once treated they re-appear or not. If the horse ticks absolutely all boxes aside from the sarcoids, I'd still strongly consider buying but I'd expect the price to reflect this.

Sorry to hear this, but a peaceful ending under the circumstances. Xx hugs xx

My father has had an accident and been taken into hospital (not sure how long for) and we're having problems in getting accommodation for his dog on account of it being completely unvaccinated (foolish, but that's a separate issue!!) Can anyone make any suggestions as to anywhere that could...

Sending hugs and positive vibes :-)

This^^^ Personally I'd be a little reluctant to put anything stronger in the hands of a child (absolutely no offence intended, I'm sure your child is very competent). Further schooling would be my first approach. Good luck :-)

As others have said, I wouldn't expect to borrow someone's trailer unless it was an absolute veterinary-style emergency. There are professional hire companies and transport companies out there who are properly insured etc for the eventuality of casual use if you're not prepared to invest in your...

OP- nice looking mare by Criminal Law over to the right...£7k. Not sure where your purchaser is located, but worth a look if not too far?

Sorry, not a huge tongue lolling experience to draw on here either- is it definitely bit related? Does she do it when worked bitless (maybe lunged in just a cavesson?) The lollers I've known have all being seeking to escape pain. If she was mine I might seek a second opinion on her mouth I...

Castle Donington is lovely, especially the older part of town, as is Ashby-de-la-Zouch and surrounding villages where I am which is 40 mins or less from Nottingham depending on the time of day :-)

Nice looking boy. As has already been suggested, the lack of 'box' in an otherwise comprehensively worded ad worries me, especially if he's so great in all other ways by the sound of it. There's an awful lot of description justifying the price tag.... Maybe a bit over-egged and nervously...

Just because it's likely to turn out huge doesn't instantly mean it's going to be unmanageable. Surely good manners learnt through firm handling and good groundwork are the key here, not getting ahead of what's age appropriate? I'm failing to see how starting this young can be of any benefit...

There should be a law against that!

Ah- I have to say that I'd be returning him too if this is the situation.
