I've only ever sold one which was a very hard decision to make due to the fact that I loved him dearly but knew he wasn't the horse for me as I didn't have the ability or knowledge to cope with him. I cried for months and then found out he had been sold on again and cried for a further few...

I have a similar 22 year old gelding that loves mounting my mare when she is in season. He also went through a phase of trying to block other horses from going near her when we were out hacking which drove me mad. I wouldn't worry too much, have the test to check if you need peace of mind...

Well job done. Went in Wednesday at 7 down to op theatre 8.30 and back in bed by 11.30. Walking with frame by 7 p.m. crutches next morning and sticks in afternoon. Home by 7.30 Thursday. Bit sore but already feels good and getting better day by day. I'm a happy chappie.

Hi Perce, you have my sympathy. We are currently going through the same with our mare who can change in a matter of seconds from a usually very nice mannered horse to one that can snort like a rhino at other horses, rear, buck, prance with her tail in the air and just be a total head case! It...

Great thanks for that. As it's getting nearer, I'm having so many doubts.

Thanks for that, it's got me thinking. There is a farm at the other side of the woods but not sure if they keep pigs. Funny because I have another horse and when I got him the previous owner said the only thing that worries him is pigs

Hi I'm 58 and due to have a hip replacement on the 26th March. Does anyone know of someone who has had one and still continued to ride. I could retire my old boy but I definitely don't want to stop and I'm sure he'll be better if he is kept in light work.

Thank you everyone. My daughter has ridden her nearly every day this week and she's been a good girl :)

Can anyone offer advice please. Our Mare is a huge 16.3 hanoverian/cleveland bay. She can be a bit of a handful at times but the majority of the time she is very loving and even sometimes a little on the lazy side. However, my daughter has worked wonders with her and is show jumping her with...

Hi, I have a 14.2 28 year old welsh/arab cross. Unfortunately for her she has steadily lost quite a lot of her grinding teeth over the last few years and I find it a struggle every winter to stop her from looking boney. She usually ends up getting a huge bucket of feed morning and night (and...

:mad:I know what you mean sometimes I think i'm going and then may be not and then eventually I feel myself falling from a great height! It usually happens when the brakes go on and I keep going! Hope the chocolates are doing their job

My anglo arab Reo is 7 years old and 16.2. Sometimes he's very laid back and we can have a lovely hack and then, on other days, he's horrible. He can be lovely and then, for no apparent reason, get all silly and just mess about jogging and not listening. I've tried working it out of him which...

Poor you and Maisie. I really feel for you. I think its about time the police started clamping down on these road hogs and do something about it. I often feel at risk when out on my young Anglo Arab Reo who is very nervous in traffic and people like you describe don't help. Even on country...
