Have pmd you :)

So sorry to hear your boy has been injured and hope he gets well soon! I think you have deffinatly done the right thing in getting rid of the sharer for your horses sake, and judging by what you have said about the instagram posts shes a very immature child who didnt deserve your lovely boy so...

It deffinatly helped mine alot his whole attitude towards everything has changed and hes chilled right out :) good luck finding somewhere to suit you both :)

I have an ottb and was originally on a smallish quiet yard, he to wasnt happy about others being brought in with out him, i came to the decision that that yard wasnt suiting either of us and moved him to a much much larger busy yard. I was worried that he would be a total nightmare with the move...

There's a post on my local one wanting a 13.2hh + must be broken to ride suitable for a novice and bombproof in traffic.. Oh and must be free to a good home. Some things you see on them are unbelievable but some of it does give a good giggle other things are just sad for the poor horses and...

I was in a similar situation a few years ago with my pony which i had owned for about 9 years, i had massively outgrown him and he was getting very old so the decision to retire him to a friends yard was made, i got a new riding horse but as much as he was lovely i never felt the same about him...

Hi guys, Just wondering if any riders in the Newcastle area are looking for a horse to ride a few weekdays a week? No contribution required just jobs on your riding days! Horse is a 16.3hh tb gelding, looking for a confident rider as although a lovely genuine boy he can get a little fizzy at...

Sorry have to agree with this. In your position i would be looking for grass livery, even if it is a bit further out the way and some places offer assisted grass livery so if you couldnt get down everyday you could pay for assistance that day with feeding checking etc..

Thanks everyone all good points to think about, we are doing it as a pretty flexible arrangement in that we dont have set days each week we will just be arranging days at the end of each week for the following week. I do have time to get all jobs done everyday so he would never go with out but i...

I did think it would be beneficial so that if nothing else i can put down in writing what i expect in terms of working my horse as i was originally advertising for a part loaner and for them to take on a small amount of the costs, but when i met the girl who will be helping i decided that as she...

Hi Guys :), Just looking for a bit of advice really, i have eventually found somoene to help me out with my boy a few days a week. Its not really a part loan arrangement as no money is changing hands, its just that i felt my horse could benefit from a bit of extra work whilst im at work and...

This is a very hard situation and its lovely of you to even consider doing it, but as mentioned above you run a very big risk of spending a fortune on her just to have to put her to sleep. I wont say dont do it because in your situation i know i probably would take her on aswell but do go in...

Before i moved house i lived and worked in pretty close proximity, lived just over 10 mins from work. Horse was stabled less than 5 mins from work and about 10 mins from home. (I went to yard to and from work weekdays) I then moved house to about 35 mins from work (in good traffic can sometimes...
