Hi all, To cut a long story short, my lad was diagnosed with a fractured pedal bone 6 weeks ago (after having 3 weeks already on box rest). The first lot of xrays (6 weeks ago) showed he had fractured his pedal bone on the wing - however, more towards the middle than outer. The x-ray also...

Any pictures would be fab guys. Thank you for all your replies.

Hi all, On my quest for a new horse I stumbled across a lovely 4 year old irish draught which ticks all the right boxes. However, I've never imagined myself with a heavy/chunkier horse. How heavy would you expect an irish draught to get? Does anyone have any confo shots of their fully...

Thank you! She's fairly local to me. I have contacted her.

Thanks be positive! Looking for something between 15.2-16hh, 4 - 8 year old, gelding, something which is sane and sensible and able to cope with a reduced work load during winter months (riding at weekends). Basic schooling, good to hack alone and in company. Don't mind having to work on the...

You may well be right be positive. I feel I'm possibly looking going into the wrong time of year! Fingers crossed. I am being quite picky as I want to make sure my next horse is the right horse for me.

Thank you ThursdayNext. I found her the most perfect home, and couldn't have asked for a better home for her to go to!

I have recently sold my ex race horse as we never particularly gelled and after two years I realised she just wasn't the horse for me. So now the search begins for my next horse! And as you can probably guess, when I wasn't seriously looking there were loads of horses which appeared to fit...

To cut a very long story short. I've decided to sell my mare, we've had 2 and a half good years together but with work commitments and not ever really 'clicking' with her, she is now up for sale. I feel really bad for saying the next bit, but now she is up for sale and I've decided it's for...

Thanks for all the replies guys! I've loved reading through all of them. Any more experiences with them would be gratefully received!

Faracat - this is a very interesting read! Thank you for sharing :).

The good, the bad and the ugly. Everything there is to know :). I am thinking about possibly buying another horse coming into the autumn and I have always liked the look of an over sized Connie (I'm 5ft8 so would need something 15hh +). All the connies I've known have all appeared to be fun...

I will definitely be taking someone who is more experienced in this area. Luckily I have a few people who I will be able to call on! I can up my budget if needed, but I have seen some for £2250 which I would be willing to pay. All this has been fab advice! Ideally a 510 would be better as...

Hi all, After many years of waiting, saving and begging for lifts off other people I am now in a position to buy my very own trailer! The aim is to buy one, practise, practise, practise and then sit my trailer test - currently don't have a trailer that I can practise with. I've been...

Looking for an experienced instructor trainer who will travel to Stroud/Dursley area. I have a very green, sharp, sensitive 6 year old ex racer mare who has spent the last 2 years maturing and relearning to be a horse in the field and lightly hacking. I now need a sensitive, experienced...
