Sorry cannot comment on knabstruppers as novice in this but now realise all few spot and snowcap appys must be night blind because of their genes. My new boy gave me heart stopping moments last night as he seemed to play with and pester his new companions well after dark. However they seem to...

All v helpful thanks. Place does look a bit Santa Grotto now. Waiting for people to complain as in Chilterns AONB! But most of the locals are soft on animals so should be OK. Lenny is the 1st Appy I've ever really known. I confess in the past I was not keen- put off by straggly tails. But he...

He is a happy Appy now- lit up water container and out of reach solar lights. One of my horses is a bit of a git to others- not psychopathic, just dominating. The other is a pacifist. If would be difficult to seperate them but I am concerned about what may happen in the dark. My new boy could...

Thanks V much. That's v helpful Electric fence is white and on so it clicks. I've just been out to buy some solar lights to put in the ground along the fence boundary and outdoor lights to rig up near his water. I hope to turn him out with my other 2 this weekend as he seems desperate to be...

Help everyone I've had my 3yo extended blanket no spot appy 3d now. Because of my job, I see my horses in the dark - they live out. I'm used to seeing how they behave at night. My new boy cannot find his feed bucket. I had to change his water bucket to large white one and illuminate it so...

That's v helpful- thanks. Will prob go and look. Prices were very reasonable which makes me a bit suspicious.

Hi Everyone, I'm looking at some horses in HorseDeals and there's a good few with a dealer who says he's called Gary and based near Darlington. He sounds OK and seems upfront about what he's got advertised- but then they all do. Anyone know who he is and what is his reputation? Thanks.

It's useful to know others have same problem though not very nice for you! I also was hoping to hunt but that would be impossible right now (unless I want to be at the front drenched in sweat which I don't.) I went to local RC rally but got banned for legging it around! I didn't have much say...

he's been to only a few shows as it's been such an aversive experience - you're right - it needs to become dull. Interesting about his sight. I think it's OK but all bolt have been she object is glinpsed from behind.

I have a 5 year old TB cob cross and he is a menace at events. It can start with usual baby spooksand greeness but can escalate to blind panicky bolts. Lunging him till he us on his knees helps but not all venues allow this. Calmers not effective though I've never really drugged him. At home he...

Hi, My young horse was retired to a farm belonging to a company producing blood products in Buckinghamshire. The horses must be 16 by or aboveand live in herds and give blood every three weeks. They are bought from you but the farm will keep your details in case your horse is not suited to the...
