    Take up fishing and use it as bait.

    How has a baby Rudd appeared in a pond containing only goldfish?

    I'd been told or I'd read that waterfowl can transport some fish eggs from pond to pond. The eggs stick to the birds' legs. But although it's a commonly held belief, no scientists have ever really investigated it...

    Dangerous stallion?

    Ok, thanks. I had a look back and didn't see that.

    Dangerous stallion?

    Has the owner been identified? I would imagine that it would be easy enough to identify the owner of the land, who should be able to give the name of the person to whom the land was rented or to whom grazing rights had been given.

    Selle Francais X Zandersheide?

    The Selle Français isn't considered to be a breed, here in France; rather, it is a type. Horses of Thoroughbred, Arabian, Anglo-Arabian and French Trotter bloodlines, can, if they confirm to the type, be used for breeding and the offspring registered as Selle Français.

    Vet fees under review

    You seem to have taken my post as an attack on vets in general. It was not intended as such, and if you read it again you'll see that I was reporting what I had heard on the wireless. Perhaps I could have dinner a better job of pointing out that some of the anecdotes were of owners who didn't...

    Vet fees under review

    From what I heard on the wireless this morning, a big reason for the enquiry is that many people have been complaining about the lack of information, failure to display pricing of routine services, pushing owners to have expensive and seemingly pointless tests and treatments. At least one vet...

    FEI ban filming at competitions

    Er, not quite. Even if the garden is visible from a public right of way there is still reasonable expectation of privacy. And there is a big difference between the act of recording a still or moving image and the act of distributing that image with the intent to intimidate or harass.

    Horsebox Spare Wheel FYI

    On a busy A road... No. I would think that changing an offside wheel is a bit risky. Even with a load of cones and a triangle. But having your vehicle immobilised by the side of that road for hours is also dangerous. The jack you carry in your vehicle should be appropriate for its weight...

    Horsebox Spare Wheel FYI

    Why not? If you have the spare wheel, the jack and wheelbrace why would you not change the wheel in fifteen minutes, rather than wait six hours for your breakdown service to come out to you?

    Anyone recognise these boots!

    Before seeing the price I'm already put off by the excessively meaningless marketing blurb and the "one size fits all" statement on the page that @Mrs. Jingle linked to in her post, contradicted by the page that I linked to that clearly shows that these bits are sold in several different sizes...

    FEI ban filming at competitions

    My adaptation of the Swedish: In HHO: This is no different to what happens when I try to listen to BBC Radio Sheffield during certain times of the year (commonwealth games, football world cup) and when live commentary on football matches in broadcast: I hear a message telling me that "because...

    Sverigegrepen Muck Fork

    Her last posting to Facebook was 24 August 2022, so it looks like she's no longer trading, at least not under the name "Eurorider Australia". The company is still registered, though, under ABN 44 617 383 475. As for the fork, it ships as either a kit of head, handle and shaft, nut and bolt...
