    A bit of a long shot, but calling all Edinburghers...

    Hey, I am moving my horse on 23rd of this month... anyone fancy earning some pennies to transport? He loads and travels like a dream. Had transport arranged, but move date changed and my friend can't do it anymore... Let me know! Willing to pay petrol and a fee! H

    Chiropractor Central Scotland?

    Am not judging anyone... just saying that I know my horse and she told me some things he "wouldn't be able to do" that I know for a fact that he can do... with tons of pics and vids to back it up. But like I said, he is getting treated as I would rather err on the side of caution.

    Rude/thoughtless things people say . . .

    It's really hard in the horsey world isn't it... Am a newbie owner after a break for uni etc. Have had a few sharers whom I have encouraged to treat my boy as their own. One sharer said how dare I teach my horse rein back to canter the week before her dressage test on him... Even though I...

    don't people want to share/part loan?

    I had the opposite... loads and loads of calls about my boy, but the problem was finding someone who could actually ride. I thought £20 a week was reasonable, but gave up on that eventually to get the right person. Now moving yards and going to put my boy on Part Livery so I don't have...

    Anyone had a sharer who is more experienced than they are? Feeling a bit intimidated.

    Definitely take it as a positive!! If she is obviously so good, then you can relax knowing your horse is in safe hands! I am paying a fortune in physio bills at the minute due to how a previous sharer rode. :( Had a few other sharers since but have decided that Part Livery for my boy is better...

    Chiropractor Central Scotland?

    Be wary that it will be an expensive process!! I wanted my boy MOT'd after comments about how a previous sharer rode him and got a physio out...one of the names that has been mentioned here... she reckons that he needs 4 treatments at 55 quid a pop... Am not entirely convinced he is as bad as...

    Who HAS paid for a horse in installments?

    I didn't have a good experience... Paid over a grand of deposit and then owner demanded the other 3k in full rather than sticking to our original 600 quid a month agreement. Had to ask parents to help as situation was getting very sticky. :(

    Dentist and back man

    Being a complete newbie to the area, can anyone recommend a horsey dentist and back man for the Edinburgh area? Going to put my boy through his MOT soon, so will be looking to have him all checked out. Thanks.

    Livery yard search continues

    Jenni - please respect my right to share whatever information I want in my post.... I didn't mention where horse is based currently as I don't want anyone having the wrong opinion of yard - only reason I would consider moving is distance and difficulty of getting out there during week. There is...
