    Camping with a dog

    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...

    Girths that don’t rub?

    I've never known a Professional Choice girth rub.

    Opinionated mare out hacking

    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...

    Lymes Disease

    Was he bred in Germany or South America?

    New muzzle!

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

    Are these safe to leave a dog unattended with?

    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).

    I won something!

    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...

    Just for fun - what's your dream breed?

    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.

    Probably mad.....*photos*

    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.

    Am I alone in this view?

    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...

    Am I alone in this view?

    I've watched plenty of his videos and seen 3 of his demos live so I guess I count as a fan. He works with more western style methods than most people are used to, and apparently did a lot of his learning in the US. I once stayed at a place in Wales where the owner had a youngster that had...

    The Gaucho Derby

    Is starting today in Patagonia. There are a couple of UK Level 4 TREC riders (Dot Still and Hilary Barnard) competing this year. They are dots DST and HBA on the radio tracking via the link below. The photographs on the Gaucho Derby FB page are stunning. The horses are criollos, and much larger...

    I'm at a lost at what to do! Selling Horse or not?

    I was also going to suggest this. He does waffle on a bit but his horsemanship is easy to understand, very black and white. It may be worth getting him out for a visit, I'm not sure what he charges.

    Wit's end with pastern dermatitis

    Oh no, I was reading through the thread and wasn't expecting that outcome. I'm so sorry OP. He's out of pain now. Look after yourself x

    Books

    That was going to be my suggestion too. I must revisit that one.
