I have just found out I am pregnant. (Was a suprise but we are over the moon about it). The problem is I got my mare in October last year, I wasnt looking for a horse as such but when I saw her I had to get her. She was really underweight and if I dodnt get her Im pretty sure she was heading to...

Tomorrow I am moving my mare from a field with hardly any grass to one with quite alot. The grass is probably 4/5" tall. My mare has slowly been gaining weight over winter as she was very thin when I got her late last year. She will be out approx 10 hours a day for another 2 weeks then out...

Thanks all for your comments. I will get the vet to have a look next time they are out. It/they dont seem to cause her a problem. Brandy - I know what you mean about it seeming to be too low for a 'normal' rib and the bottom bit that sticks out is going the wrong way (backwards instead of...

When I got my mare in October last year she was really thin and you could see her ribs. She has slowly gained weight over the winter but one of her ribs still really stands out. I have attached a photo of when I first got her and one taken today and marked the rib that I am on about. Its low...

Yes I designed it, I looked at a few designs and took ideas from them then tried to incorpoate her name but without it standing out too much.

thanks everyone who has replied. Today we had the farrier out to the yard. I stood with my friends mare as my friend was at work. When he was trimming her fronts she starting leaning backwards at quite an angle. She was fine when he had her feet on the stand thing. Do you still think its her...

Is anyone doing the Pelham Pillar fun ride on the 3rd May? I think I would like to do it but Ive never done a fun ride before and dont know what they entail. Do you walk or trot/canter? Is there jumps?

Ive had a clearout and found one of these http://www.horsesaddleshop.com/underpad.html Its been used but is still in really good condition. Do you think it would sell on Ebay?

When my friend is picking out her mares feet she sometimes almost colapses. Its when doing her front feet, she kind of leans forward and the front leg that she is still stood on bends slightly, if my friend lets her put the lifted leg down and the horse moves and stands again she seems ok. Its...
