Gorgeous - looks like a Bob

Well after more than a year of working away from home and my marriage breaking down, I have decided to give up the horses. Not an easy decision and I shed many many tear but I know its the right thing to do. I found my mare a great new home only few miles from me and so far she looks...

No this horse but my previous boy, I wrote to the lady who had him as a yearling to a 3 year old just to let her know of his journey. He was born in Wales and via Manchester and Harrogate ended up on the north east coast. She was delighted to hear from me and we emailed quite a lot before she...

My cob who was sadly PTS last year was the most mischievous boy you could ever get. He could get himself out of anything. My stable had two bolts (one at the top with a clip to stop him opening it and one mid way) and also a kick bolt. We had to do all of this to keep him in. In the field -...

I'm not keen on Bedmax. I don't find it absorbent at all. I prefer easibed. Stable next to me uses bedmax and the amount of wee that comes out of the stable is unreal. Foul! I know that's because they don't use much bedding over their mats but...

Sounds like its the same Bonnie - if she is grey. Lovely little lady.

Definitely get the vet. My vet worked with the remedial farrier to help but it does need correct diagnosis first.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Red-1 - From the posts you found, it sounds like I am having the same problems. I think it is the wood under the rubber matting that has gone soft. My Dad said he thought it would have been water getting in and it would appear it is the same problem. I've...

Hi there I love my ET trailer and horse travels really well in it. Unfortunately, despite very light usage, it seems as if the ramp is starting to rot at one side. Trailer is only 7 years old and like I said, really lightly used so I am a bit disappointed. I'm debating about what to do -...

OMG - thats awful to hear. I'm in the north east and we do have a lot of it around. :(

Mine too. Got a new cob at the end of last year and she started sneezing and head tossing. At first I thought it was head shaking but after a few hacks out we worked out it was the oil seed rape. I bought a nose net but when it came it was too small and made her sneeze even more. I've...

I had pellets for years with my cob gelding - they worked really well, economical and clean. Sadly had the cob PTS at the end of last year and now the mare I have is horrendous on pellets. Much wetter and makes a mess. Gelding didn't need much topping up - mare needs it every week. I've...

I was going to say Glantlees too. Or Rock?

Reading this with interest. Do you need to feed a balancer if you are feeding C & C?

My cob is lame at the moment and in all honesty, I am not sure he will be ridden again. I was browsing online on Friday and accidentally spotted exactly my type of horse. I unsuccessfully tried to contact the seller many times over the weekend and eventually got a text message today to say it...
