I think it depends very much on the personality of the horse and if they are kept alone they need alot of attention from the owner to make sure they don't ever feel lonely. How do you know if a horse is lonely? What signs would they display if any? This is a really interesting post for...

Am so pleased to hear things are going so well :) brilliant news :D xx

Absolutely bl@@dy terrified tbh and Oh My God what have I gone and done now!!!???! I got my first horse when I was 34. I'd had my kids, and realised that it was one of my lifelong ambitions to own my very own horse. Loaning wasn't enough anymore, and there was no way I was going back to a...

Hi Laura, Sounds like you're doing well with Herbie :) hope it continues xx

My friend has the most fantastic horse. He's an 18hh Clydesdale. He is a gentle giant, can be ridden holding the buckle of the reins, has the most lovely character, and can be ridden by complete novices. He would def carry 17 stone, and some! Not sure if you've thought of one of these larger...

At the time of her last trim she was getting very little grass, mainly hay. She is a very good doer and I was giving her 1 small feed a day in the evening which is probably sugary. I have looked into feeding her Simple Systems feeds before as I know they don't have molasses added and her...

Thanks guys. I have Cavallo simple boots for her, and they have never come off her yet. I find them very easy to put on, and a quick brush off when I take them off and they're fine. They haven't rubbed either. She wore them down to the beach yesterday and went in the water with them on and...

Hi Mickey33, Yes I have had people get me down at the yard. I too am very sensitive (I wish I wasn't, but that's me I'm afraid!). Sometimes it gets so bad I feel like selling my horse and giving up :( TBH these girls prob don't even realise they're getting to you. If you get on with most...

I have a bit of a dilemma and thought I'd see what feedback I can get from you guys... My mare has never had shoes (she's 11) - her feet are great. However, where I ride there are a few stoney tracks and she can be very pottery (not sure of sp!) on them, but if we canter along the beach, she...

I had the denstist out to my girl last week, and she's been brilliant ever since. He is a very good dentist, and her teeth were a bit sharp. However, I rode her today to the beach and we had a canter along the beach. Now, she can get a little bit excited along the beach and the brakes are...

I have a Landrover Discovery and its a brilliant towing vehicle. You could pick up a really good Disco II for £5k easily. Not sure what's put you off them??? We've had ours 4 years and its a 51 plate. I bought it from a main LR dealer, but don't take it there for servicing, coz they charge...

I used to have an old 940 automatic estate and we used this to tow a heavy caravan (1200kg). We had a very scary incident on the motorway. We were only doing less than 50 mph down a slight hill, and we had the "tail wagging the dog" - the caravan took control of the car and we snaked over all...

Just seen an ad on nfed for a T3 high wither - not sure if it would suit your horse? It doesn't say what size it is - £240 inc post...

I have the normal T4 in brown equisuede and I am very pleased with it - not sure about the high wither version, but the normal one is really good :) Hope you find one.
