    Animal welfare bill

    Animals will always be used for human use. Leather saddlery, mass produced abroad. Sheepskin pads, mass produced abroad. Is that ok? Who ever asks how the animals are treated for the items we buy? Manufacturers don't care or let you know what their animal welfare standards are. Neither do they...

    Yard alarm action plan

    When you're in the moment anything can happen. You are best keeping out of the way. Maybe scare them off but keep safe. If you block them in then what are going to do.

    What would you think of a yard that doesn't ask new arrivals for a strangles test and doesn't quarantine?

    A horse near us nearly died as it got a strain of flu from a well known venue stabling over night. The owner didn't know he had flu until 2 weeks later and he nearly died. Only just got better a year on. Others on the yard caught it as well. All horses were vaccinated against flu. This was a...
