Last Autumn was the worst I've known. I took countless barrow loads off my mare's night time turnout pen which has a massive oak over one corner. I had that corner taped off as soon as they started coming down, until the last of them was gone - I had more than one ping off my head as I was...

I had similar when riding with a friend, years ago. Middle aged man (of course) took time out of his day to slow alongside us on a wide, empty country B road near to my then yard, and cruise along side saying we were causing an obstruction and should "find a quieter time to ride." It was about...

Indeed. If he couldn't see the OP, he also couldn't see pedestrians, cyclists, presumably even other vehicles in the same light, and should have been driving accordingly. I wonder if he'd have stopped to tell a male pedestrian he couldn't see him..

Freya (OP first post) is a girl name 🫣 Out of left field but what about Stoat?

Another here who had horses eating it..also had several water-spoiled bags, only apparent when opened.

I just got a load delivered at 8.50 a bale. My last lot was £4.75. The boys are tucking in to all the spilled hay on the ground, mare has turned her nose up at it. She's going to have to lump it as my regular supplier ran out completely weeks ago😵‍💫

You are right for that particular thing. We DO have a fixed price depending on the animal type, and always let people know it and have an estimate including all the various options for cremation when they enquire (that's for pre planned PTS). We DON't have this on our website, and I've never...

Most list prices anyway, for routine stuff. We've certainly had ours on our website for over a decade that I've been there, and we always give estimates (although this has been tightened up the last few years.) We have a price list in reception also, available on request. We also have a sign...

Yes, absolutely they do. Because you can research and think and process stuff through a totally different lens, one where things finally make sense and you are not just stupid, careless, antisocial, whatever. And definitely watch the wonderful film about her life, "Temple Grandin." There are...

I went to Crete on my own for a riding hol. There were ten French people, a Belgian, and me! The Greek hosts and the Ukranian ride leader all spoke good English, as did the Belgian, so it was actually fine and I had a great time.

I’m 5 ft 6 ish and he’s 14.2

I used a thigh bag when I went on a riding holiday to Crete. It was quite roomy so may be overkill for you OP https://reitertasche.de/en/products/premium?srsltid=AfmBOoqDEV1Hih0UuxBdIty_xnBrM016vBQTlfd5kcbgirN0YlWi_k2O

Our JRT x was terrible as a puppy but did eventually grow out of it. She used to chuck up, eat the sick, then chuck up again and could do this whole cycle on the way up to the vets where I work - no more than 5 minutes 🫣🤢. We did get Cerenia when we took the dogs on holiday - be prepared, it's...

I'd also work on getting the horse to raise it's head and collect a bit more, and also try to relax through your hips and lower back. The tendency is to tense up/curl forward. Keep your feet a tiny bit forward and your weight a tiny bit back and into your spine/tailbone. When I started canter...

It's more to do with the massive advances in medical technology and treatment options, which come at an equally massive cost - and people naturally wanting what's best for their pets - as well as a rise in pet ownership without an equal rise in the understanding of the costs involved - and the...
