    Shetlands stabbed in Lancashire

    I didn't want to open the link - the title of the thread was enough. I hope they find these b@stards that did this and Name and Shame them. Tell their parents, family what sick people they are. Wish we could do them same to these people and see how they feel about it then??? sad thing is... this...

    Tenacious buyer just won't give up...

    As other have said on here .... don't sell him to her, as she will be on your case forever more. Also, why subject this animal to such a potential irritating owner? Thank you for putting this on the thread.. reading it has made my Monday morning =]

    Where are all the good liveries? Rant!!

    CONTRACTS ! RULES! and as to PAYMENTS... a FEE will be included of x% for late rent by X days. As to if people ride or not.. well thats up to them. I loved being on DIY, had great routine and I knew my horse was individually cared for. Now on Livery, I'm still there everyday to check on the...

    Weak stifles on a young horse?

    Read the Vet thread. I've had the same issue... told last year 'weak core' , stifles.... and had vet treatment (basically a load of crap) and now PSD (sprained)... and just finishing treatment.. you know what.... after all this heartache, in hind sight, I wished I listened to a local breeder and...

    Equ-Streamz - Your Experiences?

    On boy' I cant believe I'm even owning up to buying them, and replying to this thread.... however, yes I bought them (horse is currently being treated for PSD). I was concerned that the horses legs were swollen from standing. Having ad-hoc used these bands, I must admit that the swelling was...

    Full/ part livery prices. What would you expect to pay for this.

    I think I know where this persons yard is... and the hacking is very poor... . Yard is nice , depending which part you are on.... as to the fields, they are clay capped. Not great in Winter. So as to pricing , they should think about the 'wider' facilities offered, safe local hacking. Winter...

    Buyer hasn't paid, where do I stand?

    It is interesting reading all the comments. And people are quite right in what they are saying - but what about the horse? I read the horse is happy where it is, safe, loved, looked after. For the sake of now grumbling about £1K... that has not been paid from an extension to another extension...

    Buyer hasn't paid, where do I stand?

    The OP has to be realistic. The person only paid for half the horse, and payments have been dragged out. So IF the OP wants the horse back, they need to pay back what has already been accepted as part payment. Also they need to find the money to afford to keep the horse in the mean time, whilst...

    Buyer hasn't paid, where do I stand?

    Personally, I would just put it down to experience and let the girl keep the horse. You say it's a good home, you cant afford to keep it yourself. If the animal is in safe hands, sign it over with an agreement you get first refusal to buy back incase in the future she decides to sell. I would...

    Full/ part livery prices. What would you expect to pay for this.

    What's the hacking like. I pay £120 a week Part Livery, with additional costs if I require my horse to be exercised. Yard has good facilities and routine, excellent hacking, road work, woods, river ride, hills. And can/could easily pop in a horse box and get to Windsor Great Park and other...

    Some birthday present....(warning - whinge)

    I know exactly how you feel (I was 40 last year). I also bought a just backed youngster pre 40th Birthday / Christmas / Honkia / Divali / Easter / Ramadan & Eid ! - seeing that I lost my older horse with 'issues'. I thought this one was going to see me out my years riding. I even specifically...

    Unofficial bridleway advice

    Actually that's a good point... if the path that's been used for 20 years as a bridle way could still be used as a bridle way.. I wonder IF it could be fenced off? As to 'The Mules' problem.. I too would be really peeved off IF people were allowing their dogs to run all over my land..... I...
