Hi, havent got any pics, but will take some later. And yes, he has got shoes on. thanks :)

Hi all, Just have a general question really as I've never had this happen before! My daughters 4 yr old cob is living out at the moment, I brought him in this morning and picked his feet out straight away as I always do. I noticed that when I picked out both his back feet, both had bits...

Hi, I would like some advice. I have got a 3 year old cob now standing at 15.2 and still growing!:eek: He has bulked up alot since we brought him almost a year ago and has taken to the lunge and riding very well. He was partly backed already when we got him. He responds very well to...

Hi, I am new to this forum and have got a question. I am in the process of buying a 2 year old cob for myself and my daughter. The owner has had him for 8 months and never had him vaccinated or anything. I sent a vet out to do a blood test for strangles and it came back positive although the...
