Ive just realised my now 33 yr old can't really eat her haylage anymore, she has quite a few teeth missing. She's fine esting grass do i didnt reslly notice till winter. This year started feeding simple systems haycare, I've used baileys meadow cobs also. Biggest problem I have is trying to keep...

Just in case anyone else looks this up.. I'm sorry to say I took a punt on this and the cynic in me says its not legit. I did not provide a photo or any breed info about my horse and I got an "inconclusive result" after 2 weeks (and me sending s chaser as I had heard nothing) they also cannot...

Same as above, it's a horrible clip but I'm not shocked by it at all.

I wouldn't care if they were banned. I don't use them or spurs. I have used a short crop for XC in the past, although even that ive ditched, there are so many things I was taught to do with horses that I just stopped as when you actually think about it they make no sense and why am I even doing...

It wasn't our normal postman...glad it's not just me in thinking this is a bit much.

I'm not sure if I'm being OTT or not, but I found this rather intrusive. I woke up Sunday morning to my dogs going ballistic, more so than usual if someone knocks. I didn't here anyone knock, but wouldn't from where my bedroom is. They didn't settle for 5/10mins so I got up to see what the...

Think a transporter seems the easiest option thank you all! I just need to get some quotes for an idea on costs see if it's affordable for me. This is something we were thinking of doing for retirement so no rush, I just cannot bear leaving my horses behind and lately we are considering 'why...

Omg that awful, so sorry. One of my horses is old so I will def be checking this out.

Has anyone done it recently? How difficult is it and rough cost? Looking for an idiots guide to this and what's involved. I'm doing some early research. Was hoping to do it myself but wondering now if its easier with a transporter but having never used one I have no idea of cost or who is...

Ive used Carr day and martin canter coat shine since I was about 10yrs old, If they ever go bust or something I will be devastated 😂 I've tried others (esp when they changed the spray bottle 😭) but always go back to that product as its the best. I don't bother with the mane and tail just use...

It is, so hard to keep them in best condition. I hate seeing her look 'manky and old'. I guess the immune system just gets worse with age? She also did a negative cushing test but she definitely has a weird coat these days. I havent got a pic of it now its grown back but its just patches of...

This happened to my 30yr old mare this year with her coat change all the hair come off her back where the saddle is and her shoulders, it looked awful, really flaky and some parts scabby and raw 😭. She does get a bit of sweet itch and senstive skin but its only as she got older this has started...

I bought a house with my OH and kept my 2 horses, budget we made at the time has gone out the window as everythings gone up so much. We did want children but have not been able to have them. You really don't know whats coming in life so you might as well go for what you want and enjoy. It can't...

I worry about this with my pony as she is 30 now. everything would change without her, I only have one other horse, I keep just the two together on my own. I've had her since I was at school and im in my thirties now. She is still as crazy as ever out hacking, always fun to ride and puts a smile...

An old thread of mine but as its popped back up.. I did actual try this in the end and filmed her again, she travelled so much better. She basically stepped slightly sideways around bends then stood still forward the rest of the journey. The very first time I tried it she did fall over once at...
