How awfully sad, that is a lot going on with a horse without a chance of recovery. I’m very sorry to hear your news.

How awfully sad, I’m so sorry to hear that.

Oh he’s lovely!!

Lovely post - would love to see photos of the hispano Arab. One of my favourite crosses!

DAM: River - Mistrals Moon River SIRE: Volante - SA Volante Well the perfect filly name would be ‘Holly Golightly’. Because Moon River is from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and Volante is an instruction to play lightly and quickly in music. But for further inspiration, I would play with these...

Would this work? Nerves in the body act as a system, communicating with each other through networks. Damaged nerve fibres may send the wrong messages to the wrong network, like crossed wires. This can result in the wrong pain centres being activated which means the damage may be in one area...

My biggest bugbear is lack of consistency. It seems that everyone wants instant results and chops and changes management based on every article they read. It must be so exhausting for owners who genuinely don’t seem to be pulled in every direction by ever conflicting piece of advice they get...

Ah I hadn’t heard this either! I would have been disappointed not to have seen photos. I agree that the Rumour Mill needs to up its game. Well established, highly experienced horsewoman buys… horse. I’m honestly more scandalized that you haven’t!

We fenced a track around the outside with electric, and mob grazed sections. When they got the full way around, we opened up the full track. Once that started to suffer, we moved the fence line out a few meters. We didn’t have anything metabolically compromised though, and only had three...

I’m very sorry to hear about your mare. If my horse was happy in itself then I’d box rest, then pen rest, then turn out 24/7 on retirement livery or similar. We’ve just done that with a ddft horse where one vet advised pts but my second opinion said give lots of time, as long as she is...

It’s too soon for me but I have really thought about it. We’d struggle with the cat though because my husband is allergic.

The live updates said he fell at the second after that… that’s the bit that worried me. Hopefully he’s fine.

Someone update me - I’m not near a tv! Dying of nerves 😭 ETA, I have the live updates going on my phone but they don’t give proper detail

Not a cool name until recently, but we had a “Barbie”. When I rang my vet to book a basic check when she arrived, they had a new young lady on reception. When the vet arrived, he asked if I had two new ones because he could have sworn I told him I was buying a partbred Arab but the horse he was...
