Thanks fairhill. I have now posted on some of the suggestions you both gave. I just noticed my ticker has reset itself and said I am due in 23 weeks and 5 days! Haha! She was BORN 28 weeks ago so I'm pretty overdue! lol.

Thank you abigail!

I need a sharer for my boy. My baby is 6 months old and my life has been taken over by baby, so although I do have time to ride at weekends and, in the summer, evenings when it's light, I can't ride weekday daytimes (no childcare)and my horse needs it. I just want someone who wants to do...

Thank you all for your messages of support. :) It was not an easy thing to do but it was the kindest thing for a big, beautiful, kind-natured horse. George is on his own now, but there are horses in the neighbouring field (that belong to a neighbour). We think we will probably end up with a...

Some people here did follow Lanky's progress since his op (and subsequent poor prognosis) for OCD last summer. He was turned out finally in December and initially things didn't look too bad, despite the very poor prognosis we had been given. It wasn't long before things went downhill again...

Thanks lochpearl. I know and remember the pain you went through when making the decision about your horse. :( I don't want to feel like I'm not giving him a chance. Another of my vets, Graham, has had the meniscus repaired in one leg and removed in the other and said his knees will never be...

Also meant to say JHoward, that he'd have veg oil in his feed.

He is definitely still alert and gets a strop on if he's not first in from the field for eg. He's still got all his character there... Not sure if he's happy as such, as there is definite pain there and he can be seen to pull the leg in a jerky way if he lands wrongly on it when...

Thank you. :) You see the thing is, it's only 3-4 weeks ago that I saw David my vet and he said Lanky looked in great shape for a horse not in work and was the perfect weight, so I'm also hoping it's to do with the grass. But then the extra lameness is concerning me. David has a thin line to...

Being out of work is not the problem. The reason our friends sold him was because they didn't have time to work him as she does BSJA with 2 other horses she owns and has a yard to run, so he was not used to his potential before (a hack a month maybe!?), which is perhaps why it took so many years...

Kia Sorrento won JDPower's best towing vehicle award several years running, which is one reason we opted for it a few years ago when we went from lorry to trailer (equitrek). In terms of towing: it towed our Equitrek so will have no trouble at all with an ifor. The tow capacity of our...

Thanks Booboos - I know you had the same thing happen with Thomas, or similar. :( I have emptied my PMs; I didn't know they were full! I don't like this new PM format! Thank you Ziggy. I know you're all right and have just confirmed my thoughts. :( The poor boy. He has such a kind, trusting...

Thank you guys. :) You've reitterated what I already think. I hate seeing any animal in any amount of pain and just so worried about making the wrong decision for him. :( (By the way: Quirky, did you get my PM?).

OK so most people know all about what happened with Lanky but lots don't, so forgive me if you have no idea what I'm talking about in the following post. I will try to give you a rough outline of the history but tbh, a rough outline doesn't really cover it and I'm bound to leave stuff out. He is...

I have a trailer.
