Brachycephalic breeds, I really don't get the appeal of a dog that can't breathe and has a face flatter than my tv! Small, yappy rat dogs. White dogs with brown stains English bull terriers I didn't like greyhound/lurcher types.....until I got one! Although my Lurcher was mega high maintenance...

My two pennies worth...... I have never heard a bad word about Touaregs Although tyres aren't your main issue with your current car (grinding noise) there is a HUGE difference between tyres. I used to hate paying for tyres and always got billy basics, until my Dad explained what a huge impact...

Tena lady to smooth things out….. i’m dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But also, the white….. we’re ladies who have’issues’ every month….. I’m paranoid enough wearing light breeches for dressage even if it’s not due!

Hahahaha what amazing self control!! My Lurcher would have been off like a rocket, deer were his favourites! :D He was never even close to being allowed off lead, other than in freedom fields, for this reason

My dog, who was sadly PTS 6 weeks ago due to old age (15.5 yr old Lurcher) did snap a couple of times in the 7 years I had him but only at my inexperienced partner and his son, each situation I felt they had overstepped the mark with the dog. Please don't judge my dog, he was wonderful and we...

Lol i’m a customs advisor and would avoid advising you 🤣 it is not easy!

I would also probably PTS and i say that as someone who has just recently pts my beloved lurcher and still hating life without him. I did it for him, not for me….. as you are. I’m sorry you’re going through this and the vets are making a horrific decision worse 💔

I remember being at YHL when she was demo-ing, her lovely Mum was walking around the shopping area with Mary's Olympic medal letting everyone try it on, she was a lovely, lovely lady......the apple definitely didn't fall far from her tree! Mary's demo was just lovely, too, she is just one of the...

Good to hear some feedback, thanks. Their FB page is very slow so difficult to get any information there. Rarely is something worth doing for horses a quick fix! 😆

That would be my last ditch attempt. Ulcers are awful, my boy can be prone to them, I just feel I'm constantly on ulcer watch! Op, I looked into the Equibiome thing, it's certainly an interesting concept, I had forgotten about it but think I'll definitely revisit it

BUT once brought back into 'normal riding horse' routine (Still ensuring as much TO and all other factors are adhered to) did the ulcers stay away or return? I PTS a horse with recurring bi lateral lameness that we just couldn't resolve, he was a very aggressive horse too, I've often wondered if...

It's horses for courses isn't it, to me, £50 max, to someone else, priceless! I love the type a lot of riders actively avoid and wouldn't pay the livery for my 'type' let alone pay to own it! If you're happy and comfortable, that is all that matters

My Arab has them and went very ear and bridle shy, I tried to gently bridle him in a 'traditional' manner and it resulted in him getting VERY distressed. I now unbuckle the bridle to put on and take off (the pop stud browbands are great for this!) and we're very efficient at it, the relief on...

This was my Arab, I got him at 5, very thin (not neglect just not looked after) he took A LOT of feeding and gentle work but he didn't mature until about 9, he's now 11 and looks very 'sports horsey' well muscled and a great weight, but it's been a loonnng process, but I was never in a rush and...

Definitely last! I went early on my boy's first, my friend got lost getting to the venue, so we we right in the middle of everyone leaving, it was not fun, I only went for the photos in front of the castle anyway!!
