    Quality of training?

    He finally sent me an email, along with a refund for the rest of the month, claiming he'd been exercised 3/4 times a week. Even his rug had clearly been used on another horse and his feet, despite being charged for shoeing, were ovely long and he was still barefoot. At least my horse is Ok.

    Flies and ticks in France

    Hi I live in North Dordogne and have never had a problem with ticks. Flies are worse but mine have the option to come into an open barn and a fly mask and citronella spray does the trick. However I tend not to ride much in the summer months as its usually too hot.

    Watchdog!

    I have previously bought horses from several dealers, because I live in Europe and it is not always possible to view private sales as easily. In the case of Kellys cobs the appeal of a 14 day trial seemed useful for me to try the horse for a reasonable time before paying to transport it to...
