Well firstly, I feel for you. I think most people have been in a situation at some point or another where they feel out of their depth, maybe not with a horse they own. I think if someone has never, not once, felt that they may be a tad out of their depth, maybe they are telling porkies or maybe...

Hi, Well done on finding him a lovely home. Write your contact details at the top. £XX received in cash as full payment for (name of horse) from (name of purchaser), (quick description/microchip/passport number - whatever identifies him. Passport (or whatever paper work) handed over at time of...

Oh my gosh, amazing! Colour library! I'm swaying towards the blues or the Reds/burgundys

Oh but what colours do they wear? Ive always had very standard colours, red/navy etc, I fancy some fun this time. Tempted by orange but scared it'll look like a Halloween theme!

Morning! I'm looking at a horse at the weekend, a black gelding, obviously this has triggered one of life's great questions....what matchy colours will he look most handsome in? I'd love your suggestions and photos would be a bonus. This horse is 100% black, no white markings. X

I've seen paddock paradise! Looks great but thought it also looked pricey.....

We're also on the horrid clay, so very muddy. This is why we have fenced the upper part for wet turnout and will be making the all weather dinky bit by the stable - hoping to keep off the grass whenever it is damp!

Hi sparemare, Yes and yes. A companion is a definite option...

Thank you lintel, do you think a companion is more important that trying to preserve grazing then? My daughter is 10 months old, I'd love an excuse to buy her a tiny friend!

That's really sad, certainly not something that I would want to cause stress to a horse. Next door have mares, they are happy for us to share all the grazing but really I prefer geldings. I could get a mini for company (or a goat, everyone keeps telling me they bond really well with horses and...

Ahhh to have an arena! You lucky thing. Do you find you feed hay all year round? I suspected that might be the case but I think I'd probably buried my head in the sand about it a bit. Interesting that you keep them in overnight in summer and winter, do you find this essential to keeping the...

Thank you! That sounds sensible and cheap, so I can definitely do that. I guess easy to poo pick that way too.

Hi, I'm new here (please go easy on me). I'm after advice and experience from those that keep their horses on a small plot. This is my situation.... The paddock is at home (lucky me) We have a stable, barn and teeny paddock (maybe 20'x40') which we rent from a neighbour for extra storage...
