Vets can recommend but they can't enforce. Which causes them a lot of stress and sadness at times. It's always the owner's call.

Another slight tangent; how can you tell if your land is ag or eq? We've had horses on our land since we moved here 11 years ago, as did the previous owners who had it for 30 years and built the stables and yard, possibly on the site of earlier buildings. I don't think it even came up when we...

Sheila Jones is in Cheltenham, she does agility and other groundwork training and I believe she'll come to you. https://www.facebook.com/sheila.reed.54?locale=en_GB

And repetition, do it until it's boring. Also think about how your trailer is set up to be optimum. I put some ring bolts in various places in mine. one on either side of the nose with a tight rope between them flush against the front wall allows an over the door trough to be hung in there...

OP, I am very sorry about your horse. However, I do have a different point of view and I do think that you should have taken more responsibility both in researching the condition yourself, and in getting the vet back out very, very much sooner. Calling to speak to the vet isn't how it works...

We have the wire cables with a spring on, that come with a screw in ground stake and swivel. In practice though most camping was done with a single dog and he was hooked to the bumper (horse lorry, not camper van) using the cable...

I've never known a Professional Choice girth rub.

After reading the initial post I was going to ask why it mattered and why you felt a need to fix it, particularly. However, others have answered and illustrated that horses have preferences, and why have an un-necessary battle? They are all different and all have their preferences and herd...

Was he bred in Germany or South America?

Mine would push it to one side and eat out of those big side holes, I think. It doesn't look very deep.

I have seen an entire Yak chew removed from a working cockerspaniel's intestine... (he was a serial offender and this was not his first rodeo, nor his last).

Years ago I won a lesson for me and a friend with David Deptford on one of his western schoolmasters. We had a great day driving down to Cambridgeshire (I think it was) and had a good 45 mins each with him in the arena. I think I just filled in my contact details on a stand at Your Horse Live to...

I've only owned 3 horses, 2 were pure criollos and the third is a criollo x american paint. I think a criollo x arabian would be pretty amazing.

Absolute sweetheart. The first dog I fell in love with was a white EBT called Meg, I used to walk her for a neighbour. My mother said she looked like a pig:rolleyes:. I've always had a real soft spot for them since.

A wonderful example of "Letting the perfect be the enemy of the good." (If anyone has come late and missed this comment upthread, it's a sarcastic response to others explaining the logistics and basis upon which SY operates). His niche within the training world is single visit (very rarely...
