I have 2 horses and work a 5 day 45 hour week, you'll be fine, you'll find out what works for you, i usually get up the yard just before 7, (3 miles away), help my mum turn her two out, then turn mine out and muck out, bed down, do hay and water and i usually leave the yard about 7.50am,go home...

Well, it always worked for me, i'd just put some in their tea and some in their breakie, it just would take the edge off, which made a big difference for me, for instance, when i was first competing my big boy who was 7 but only gelded at 5 and had been used in belgium, so he was a HUGE tart and...

They look like pikeur or eurostar to me................ love the jodphur style trousers and knee high boots bit, next time i pick my beloved up from the pub, thats what i shall say i'm wearing!!

i've used the equine america one - i actually had to use 2 syringes, and they had NO effect what so ever!! So i went back to using horlicks - much better and cheaper!!

mine get really grumpy too and i really have to push them on, so always give some hay first, although they are living out now anyway and getting loads to eat, its as if they've discussed it and i'm being completely unreasonable - lol!

yuck!

She wasn't vetted, but what is frustrating is that my friend and the dealer spoke for a long while on the phone, with my friend sobbing her heart out about her tb mare which was pts, and i think she was more or less sold over the phone (it doesn't help that this horse is the spit of her old...

My friend brought a lovely 5 yo tb mare in january, within 2 1/2 weeks she went lame, and has not been sound since, the initial vet came out and thought that she had sprained her suspensory ligament, but another visit to the vets 3 weeks later (after 3 wks box rest) and x rays, proved that it...

sorry if i wasn't clear, but the diarrhoea was only whilst he was on haylage and cleared up within 24 hours of being back on hay and his attitude came straight back too (he's been mental since the grass has started to appear - and tried bucking me off and charging off a few times). He hasn't...

Was lunging ginger last night, was fine for 10 mins or so, changed rein and after 5 mins on the right rein, whilst cantering, he tried to cough a couple of times, then started roaring? He is 19 and have had him for 12 years and he has never done this before - ever, i am worried in case this...

hey dublinbay, I would 100% speak to your vet, they will be the best people for you to speak to regarding recovery and to give you peace of mind. my old boy had 20ft of intestine removed a few years back and even a month later it looked like someone had opened him up, put a house drainpipe in...

i am in such a rage about this f***ing w@**er, why why why why why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

evil little f***ers, they'll get whats coming to them......

yes, i agree that the driver was driving without due care and attention - but if the speed limit was lowered, there would be more time to avoid these ever increasing fatalities.

Its so awful, that when most of us keep our pride and joy in the country but nearly all country roads are 60 mph. This is WRONG! Why does a life always have to be lost to make things safer for others, we regually meet people who are "out for a spin" in their new sports car whilst hacking, if you...
