    Rising cases of Strangles

    Horses going to more competitions and staying over and not disinfecting their stables before using them. This happened to an owner recently but it turned out to be a strain of equine flu. No biosecurity measures put in by the show. The stables were wrapped but no cleaning of stables after...

    Redwings potential closure

    Charities have very little money lots come in a very bad state some never even get that far. They are assessed by a vet ASAP if a vet decides they cannot be rehabbed (which does not mean just rehabbed for riding) or their condition deteriorates which in some cases is possible due to neglect...

    Where's the bio security in all of this. Goes to one yard one week back to dealer to another yard the next week. Shocking.

    Relentless rain and rugging

    Just make sure you take it off and reset it if your not leaving it off. Have seen horses with rugs left on for ages without them being taken off or reset. Check for rubs and that they arent too hot. They can get bacterial infections on their skin from being too hot.

    Are secondhand saddles selling?

    Just watch if selling on facebook or car boots etc. Basically selling anything for cash. Loads of fake cash going around that is hard to spot. Police have warned us about this.

    Still grieving loss of horse intensely 4 years on

    I was the same and then went to volunteer at a rescue. Been there over 10 years now and it's a massive part of my life. I said to myself what can I do to make things better for horses/myself. Made hundreds of new friends and made a big difference to my life.

    Life after weight loss jabs ?

    There was a expert on the radio saying she blames the upf manufacturers saying they market things as healthy like protein bars when they are literally rubbish. We need better food, exercise and health knowledge that should be taught in schools as a compulsory subject. At our gym they have...

    Bad catchers might be the most frustrating thing I’ve ever experienced

    Mine started not being able to catch him. I did a lot of loose groundwork with him and figured out that when I took his headcollar off he would do exactly what he wanted. With his headcollar on, no rope attached he followed me round like a dog. So I got a fieldsafe headcollar and left it on in...
