My first one failed its mot on quite a lot of things ( I'm not mechanically minded and don't think it had been looked after or serviced much before I bought it) I sold it for spares or repairs and the guy who bought it had been actively looking for one as a tow vehicle for his business as they...

I moved my Highland and Welsh A mares from a predominantly pony yard to a livery yard with one veteran pony and 13 TBs or warmbloods! Since our arrival a Connie mare has come, who is now best friends with my Highland, and a coloured cob. It works well for us as we have formed a little group of...

I've recently moved to a new yard and was very excited to see the swallows yesterday! I thought it was a bit early for them yet? At least there is plenty of mud for their nests this year. I'm in Sussex.

I'll probably get shot down for saying this but have you tried turmeric/golden paste? My extremely fussy laminitic section A refuses all supplements and Bute but will eat golden paste. I started her off with just a tiny amount and have gradually built the amount up and I know she is eating it...

When the farm where I worked was sold there was an asbestos survey done and the report said that the asbestos sheeting on the barns and down pipes didn't cause any concern so long as they remained intact and no one tried cutting them! There was some blue asbestos found in the farmhouse which...

I'm so pleased to see this thread as I thought it was just me being over critical! I was watching with a friend and we both agreed the chestnut looked lame and we felt very uncomfortable watching the whole display. The horses just looked over dominated. I know things have to change and...

I think that 'cob' has now become a term that describes a horse that people aren't quite sure what category to put it in. It used to be that you could spot a proper cob on a show ground from a mile off - now if you watch a cob class it seems to be a mix of fat hunters, clipped out cart horses...

I've seen some videos of it and it seems amazing. Google it and you will find more info.

I use it for my two and am very happy with it. My very picky pony loves the hay cubes and will eat them before anything else. I thought all the ingredients were listed? I have spoken to them in person and on the phone and have always found them very helpful. Their delivery service is very quick...

Are you looking to buy or lease your machines? If you are leasing read the small print very carefully. I think Bonkers2 probably means three phase electricity, not a domestic supply. I would say do lots of research first and see what else is on offer in your area. Not that long ago it would...

Thank you, some good ideas there I can try. Didn't know about the Dogs Trust so I will look that up.

Probably a pointless post but getting fed up with well meaning people telling me to just get rid of the dogs. I had a tied cottage with my job on the farm so no prob with the dogs at all. Sadly that ended as the farm was sold and where I have moved to is a total disaster, the only plus point...

When I bought my last Terrano (now very sadly gone to the great garage in the sky ��) it quickly got full of the usual boots, spare coats and sweet wrappers etc. I was having a clear out after the first week or so as I was determined to keep it clean and discovered to my joy it...

Mine is usually pretty bad but I think I excelled myself moving the ducks in a dog crate in the back - the interior is now pebble dashed with mud!!

Thank you, it's my beautiful Highland filly.
