Beautifully and sensitively written.The perfect advice for anyone facing the anguish of making the right decision at the right time. Thank you for sharing. Hugs to all who have or are now in this situation. I know how you feel.

I have just had a anti-jump barrier fitted to our 3.5. It was installed by Travel two. We bought the box from them 4 years ago and have never had any problems apart from hay everywhere. However last year we saw a pony die in one after being left alone in it. The pony jumped the rear barrier...

Poor you. It sounds as if your YO is not up to the job if she is scared to keep control of the liveries and those who work for her.In my experience of several livery yards unless you have a straight and fair YO you never have a happy yard. You are only 18 so do not have the self confidence to...

C & C transport have just issued a statement that all RSPCA horses have been removed from the site. Not a fan of the RSPCA myself but well done this time for listening to public opinions. :)

I think you can see from all the various responses how hard we all find it to make that decision.We had our pony pts two weeks ago.It was the most difficult thing I have ever done.She looked amazing,she was happy but it was all going to change over the next few months and her quality of life was...

Have a look at Kelly Marks - Perfect Confidence.really enjoyable read. I don't think horsey people are any worse than any others. There are usually a few people whose opinions you can value,the rest you have to learn to ignore. I love watching other people ride but its because I just enjoy it.x

Thanks Loulou, our lovely old girl is enjoying the sunshine too.I have made the calls and arrangements are in place. We are going to enjoy the time we have with her.Hugs to you and Winnie x

I have used a muzzle in the past on a lami horse when I couldn't get restricted grazing and it was mostly okay.This old pony hates fly masks,rugs you name it. She also use to be at the top of the group of mares but now she is picked on and won't come to the gate unless we shoo the others away. I...

We have made the decision to have my daughters pony pts in just under 2 weeks time.She is 20 years old with EMS and has had terrible laminitis this spring although not overweight ,she is in a restricted paddock at the moment but will not be able to move on to winter grazing with the others. She...
