    Reputable Transporters - Buckinghamshire

    I'm planning to move a horse 20 miles from his current yard to my own in South Bucks this weekend. Unfortunately, my trailer floor is being replaced and it's unlikely to be finished on time so I'm having to look at alternative options. Does anyone know of a reputable transporter in the area...

    Should I charge or expect payment?

    I suppose that's where I'm confused. I still want to be involved with him so am reluctant to go for a "loan" at the moment, perhaps in a few months when i'm confident that I've found the right person for him. I guess then I would expect all of his costs to be covered.That would allow me to take...

    Should I charge or expect payment?

    I'm 5 months pregnant and unfortunately have come to the conclusion that I am far too big for my pony. In fairness, I was much too tall for him when I wasn't pregnant! I absolutely don't want to sell him but at the same time, he's only 8 and I don't want to see him wasted either. As a result...

    Help with on going cough

    Thanks for this, looks like a vet visit is on the cards. He is a particularly "allergic" pony, he reacts to anything and everything so it does sound likely that this is the cause. I hadn't even linked the cough to the allergies as usually he reacts with a colic or Urticaria. Seems so obvious...

    Help with on going cough

    I'm looking for some advice. My Sec D has had a cough for the last couple of weeks which he can't seem to shake off. It's pretty sporadic but worse in the evenings and early mornings. The cough doesn't sound like a choke, it's literally like a regular tickly cough but it breaks my heart. He...

    Horses Who Have Come and Gone

    I'm having a pensive moment reflecting on the horses that I have owned and who have had an impact on my life and my riding career. Although I no longer own them, I feel I have learnt something from each one. I just wanted to pay tribute to them really... Tilsdale Top Gun (Tilly) - 1 ton of...

    Post Operation Boredom - Any Ideas?

    I had an operation on my arm yesterday to have some excess tissue taken out. Thus meaning that I'm banned from playing horses for at least a week for fear of getting knocked. I'm so bored! OH has been amazing, he's been down, mucked out taken a photo and done goodnight kisses. But I feel...

    Can you buy a horse for a novice for under £1000?

    Alarm bells ringing about the roan mare. I have a feeling it's the very same Rosie (also known as rolly) who was in a riding school that I used to be stabled at. She was sold from the school as she couldn't be caught and kicked my in the stomach sending my flying across a paddock when I did...

    Has anyone turned out 24/7 for summer yet?

    I'd love to be free of the mucking out but my pony would combust if he was at grass 24/7!! He's currently muzzled during the day and in by 4. I'm very jealous of those who will have a stable free summer.

    A plea to those breaking their horses

    What a responsible approach to working with your youngster. I think it's admirable that you're modest enough to ask around for advice/ experience. I agree, everyone must start somewhere so don't be put off by people tell you "if you haven't broken a horse before then you should start. I'd...

    Am I too big to be taken Seriously?

    Yes I find that the Hendrewens that I've seen are rather compact. He's my first registered welshie so I'm rather proud of him.
