I always thought it was a cumulative effect. ie once in the sytem it just increases the more they eat it. If they are starving they will eat it and then it becomes pallatible etc and dry The dose for liver damage I dont know??

Yep I agree with this. Dont let your heart and kindness rule your head. If you enjoy hacking how on earth will you ever be able to just pop on and go for a quiet hack alone. You will always be tied to finding someone to ride out with. Get an all rounder. Its true you will never find a perfect...

Looks terrified

Most people are taught to pass a test not how to drive properly. If you cant see up ahead then you are going too fast. Back to the original point Hi viz does work and if you are riding two abreast on a bend you are nuts. Road users coming up do not know you are there and they are probably going...

Yes it does but its the behaviour of the riders thats at fault not the equipment. Cyclists are doing this all the time. And if you come round a bend what do you do if there is an accident immediately on that bend. Could you stop?

I sort of agree but I think the horsemeat crisis is more to do with the powers to be ie legislation(yes useless government they are good at blaming everyone else and do 0) and control of livestock etc and horses where do they fit into this? Everyday horse owners knew this years ago. Someone...

Sounds like you got the vet out in time. Particularly as they could do something manual there and then. I have notice the horses overnight drink their whole huge container as it was only a few inches full this morning. Yesterday it hardly moved. Sudden hot weather etc after all that rain. Just...

I havent read.watched it & dont turn a blind eye, but I suppose what suprises me sometimes is that some do gooders dont think that others can be so cruel and these kind of people will try to worm their way out as they are accomplished deviants(& quite often succeed in evasion). But its good to...

Agree above.Yes I went along to buy a nice expensive hat as a treat and ended up with the cheapest harry hall as it was the most comfy. My son Charles Owen but even though we were the same size I didnt like his hat my self. Its very personal & you just go and try them all! Good luck though.

He doesnt look like he is starving and has the usual grass is always greener! Still he looks a nice boy and thankfully it wasnt worse ie broken leg etc. Those rocks look huge! What a silly boy. Glad he is ok though and he looks really good looking lad. Good luck. I hear click click electric...

They are such a huge part of our lives and he looks wonderful in the pictures. Your care of Andy to the end without making him suffer was wise. A good owner would not put a horse through any suffering. Am sorry for you both. Agree Yes the forum is a tower of strength at difficult times like...

Right thing to do if you think it, and your gut instinct is always right. My vet wanted to take my old boy for a ton of pointless tests when the horse was riddled with arthritis. My vet seemed to think I should wait until he couldnt get up. I did not agree and asked for PTS. My horse would kick...

I remember that programme too...dubbed wasnt it?

Perhaps they have the other pony on a trial? I would be inclined to see if they ring you or not sell them the pony if they have lied so badly. I find the lies that folk make up are quite outrageous. Using a kid saying its ill well thats just quite sad. May be your pony is better off away from...
