I sold the only coloured foal I have bred for £4000 and she was very flashy. I would think you should be able to get something nice for that budget.

It depends how it is bred, it's quality, how good the dam line is etc. Are you looking for a top competitor or something to have fun on?

I have never seen shoes like this EVER! I certainly wouldn't shoe any of my dressage horses like this. All of my young horses are unshod until they start serious work and then the shoes are there to support them. Until then they hack and school unshod with no problems.

I ordered a very expensive leather headcoller from them years ago, part of the deal was they would put an engraved name plate on it, when it arrived the name plate was too big and cheaply attached. Never ordered from them again. A few friends have ordered rugs from them recently that have...

Did you breed Harlequin Rollin?

My one and only foal this year has arrived, he is by H Tobago out of my Dressage mare Roulette by Royal Dance x Vatout x Fabian. I have been totally overwhelmed by the contact I have had since posting pictures on Facebook from Arab experts about this little man. I only hope he grows up to be...

KBIS are great, my foals are insured for their approx value, never had an issue with them.

I had a strong filly born a few years ago at 315 days due to the sudden onset of placentitis, fingers crossed your mare holds on as long as possible.

My foals are wormed with eraquell from 6 weeks and every 6 weeks until autumn when they are wormed for tapeworm, then an equest over Winter. I do worm count mine too but I always worm youngsters regardless as worm damage can cause irreversible damage.

If a young foal aimed a kick at me I would clap my hands at them and chase them out of my space, once bigger they would get a rubber bucket thrown at them!! I have never had to reprimand a foal more than a couple of times for kicking, they are just seeing what they can get away with. Mum...

I have one who is very lean and lanky at the moment and is looking a little cow hocked. I expect once he fills out again he should straighten up.

Have you checked for lice? If Lice, worms and teeth are not an issue then i wouldn't be over concerned, he will ick up when the spring grass comes through. One of my youngsters dropped a lot of weight a while ago and he is a picky monkey, i bought a bottle of mollases from the feed store and...

I have a Legrande youngster out of my Oldenburg dressage mare who is rising 2, his temperament is excellent, really laid back and sensible in all situations. Here are a couple of videos of him, first one is recently in his winter woolleys and the other is as a yearling...

I am looking at having an outdoor arena put in, ideally as cheap as possible but not so cheap that I end up with an unuseable arena. What companies have people used and got the best deals (we are in south West Scotland) or has anyone constructed the arena themselves? I was wondering if it...

I used to run Point to Points, at the busiest meets we lost up to 3 horses. Totally tragic but they were PTS so quickly so no suffering. Compare this with a horse who could be your best friend and you sell on, it is then badly treated or neglected or starved.... What end would you prefer?
