Hi Guys So I find myself in a bit of a predicament I have a nice, 16hh, quality young horse that due to personal circumstance I have to part with. During the sales prep proces he has developed a noise in canter. The vet has advised he would probably benefit from a laser hobday if he was to...

Tumble drier sheets apparently work Although I have yet to make it to the shop to test this out so still keep shocking myself on the horse, on the metal gate and on the poor dog ooops

I am going to save you vallin DON'T BUY THEM!! I got some at the weekend I wore them around the house as was unsure of them and they murdered me. I have long slim legs and they are to high at the back granted you can get shorter ones but they would be too short on me. They are stiff ,cheap and...

I've heard ACP has lost it's licence because they have found it increases hearing sensitivity and is determined cruel anyone else heard this???? although I have used them before with varying degrees of sucess I suppose sedalin and domasedon is the new sedative

Hiya, could the dog be an american bulldog? have a look at this site for a picture idea http://kelticwarrior00.com/ambulldog.html Or google American bulldog. I would say if you feel you can approach the owners do if not be careful. These dogs do play pretty rough and can easily escalate if...

Thanks, Cuffey the stable is very open 5ft breezeblock then slatted wood with slight gaps for air flow but not wide enough to let in rain upto a corrogated iron roof. I thought it may have been a roof problem but the stables next to me dont suffer I will google stokboard. Soulful was that...

Shameless bump

I've done a couple of pacers (if you mean trotting with the same side pair rather than diagonals?) time patience and more time go out hacking stick to a walk keep it simple so they can work it out walk to halt create understanding then introduce trotting in straight lines once they have bit of...

Thanks guys pretty sure it's not the horse as shes been in other internal stables and never been an issue. With a full bed it's just cold and damp I've tried different bedding and deep litter as this has been an issue for over 4 months now and i believe it's causing her skin problems as shes in...
