Ive noticed a lot more horses for sale over the past few weeks! I couldn’t find a single fell/dales/highland over the past 6 months and the ones that I did see were a fortune but yesterday there seems to be loads on horsequest ?‍♀️

? That’s made me chuckle, well they don’t do that either ?

My leonberger is not snobby and both of his parents and aunt are in double figures. The breed should never be aggressive or reactive and if it was it would be a serious temperament fault. The standard calls for them to be distinguished by their friendlines. They should be happy and playful with...

Definatley not man eating anything. More lazy sleeping cuddle hound if anything ? My plan for this year providing Covid stays under control is to attend lots of ringcraft and some champ shows to see how we do. He has already been best of breed more than once at some KC shows but not champ ones...

Just curious how you got started? I have a male of a rare breed and I’ve really fallen in love with the breed in general. I’ve never considered breeding before but I have always thought it would be a lovely thing to be involved in, preserving and improving a breed that is. I don’t plan to be a...

I’ve seen lots of these before and after images where I can see obvious dental disease and teeth that clearly need extracted but appear cleaner so have been left when they shouldn't be. It’s worrying to think owners think the problem is solved when it’s a cosmetic fix only. They really need...

So far I’ve had 5 dogs (now have 3 othersand have managed all of them into old age without too many issues. Saying that I have never gone down the route of invasive treatments/referal type stuff. If the amount covered was more than £3k then I would be more than happy to pay, but spending £1k...

At what point have you decided that insurance is just too much? Or do you insure all animals despite the cost? If you don’t insure what do you have in place. Savings/credit cards etc Do you still have 3rd party if not vets bills? Ive got 3 and my policies are renewing this year at close to...

Has anyone got any ideas how to stop my pony falling straight out of canter as soon as I half halt? She can do Hat/trot/halt and also understands half halt in the walk and trot but but canter is all or nothing! At the moment I’ve been just letting her find her own balance but I would love to...

She is an expert at removing muzzles. The shires ones don’t last much longer either, those usually end up around the chin after 30 mins or so no matter how tight it is. She managed to scrub the dinky along the floor until she got her teeth around the hole part and just chewed through it. By the...

Mine chewed through a dinky muzzle in 24 hours. I haven’t found any that don’t rub or that mine can get off.

I’ve had two Renault masters. The first was amazing mechanically and sailed through everything except it needed a fair amount of welding. It was a mid 1990s model though so to be expected. My second is 04 and has been a mechanical disaster. Everything that could go wrong has and I’ve spent...

Spent most of the afternoon taking photos of my lorry ready to list. Then deciding against it and going backwards and forwards. I’ve really lost my riding confidence and don’t really fancy competing at the moment. I have worked out the lorry costs about £100 per month to keep, so maybe...

Just wondering if anyone has gone from a lorry/trailer to hot having one at all. I haven’t used mine at all for 6 months due to a loss of confidence and lack of finances. I also don’t like going everywhere alone! The box has had lots of problems due to it standing too much. Thinking of...

Has anyone replaced a horsebox floor, if so how easy is it to do and how expensive is it going to be? What are the best materials to use...marine ply, buffalo board or something else? Should the floor be varnished and how thick does it need to be? Thanks!
