Hi, as above really . I have just got a belgium warmblood in for sale and i know he has points but i dont know how many. He is a really stunning horse and to sell him to the right market i would ideally like to know what points and to what level he competed at as he is only 9 but super talanted...

the french do what they can to make anything 100 times more difficult than it has to be , i managed to get my horses passports sorted and the real nightmare started when i had to french register my ifor williams horse trailer. now im told i have to fill in some form saying what horses r kept at...

I have a 12h2 pony who i bought for a couple of kids on the yard, the kids are now showing no interest so i am thinking, rather than try sell him in a difficult market , maybe i should put him out on loan. I would want him to stay at my yard but i have seen so problems with people loaning horses...

Yep this used to happen to me all the time , it was a real pain in the bum to say the least , i used to hook the trailer on to the landy and pull forwards then backwards and eventually the wheel would release ,sometimes i would be shunting about for half hour tho Good luck !

I know my one is slightly different as i have had her from a 3yr old and know she has never been treated bad, but as i have already said i gave up and i still would say to any one come down and have a go at catching her as i really have tried everything !!! I did find that chucking her in a big...

I have a mare like this , have had her all her life (well since a 3 yr old) she has always been a sod to catch , 3 hours was normal , she is now 19 and i have give up , she lives out 24/7 on 6 acre field with a mule as a friend , she has her feet done a couple of times a year when i build up the...

I would say seib as they where great with my mare BUT had my colt insured with them ,paying over £450 a year and they did not pay out for 1 bill in the 2 years he was insured with them , they wriggled out of everything , lamness investergation ,navic treatment , post castration problems the...

If you look about on the internet you can get it much cheaper , i payed around £70 for a 3 month supply and it also came with the cream it think the postage was about £4 :)

I started 2 of my guys on cavalesse , i had to pay for mine (£70 each) they have been on it for a couple of weeks now and even tho the midgys are out in force , no itching as yet. one is a 16h2 warmblood and the other is a 12h2 mule both suffer with awful sweet itch the big lad has a rambo sweet...

i used to work at the yard where he was a good few years ago . i have to say he was an absolute star , fab stable manners and movement to die for. tbh he was prob one of the the most gentle stallions i have worked with. such a sweet heart :)

Thanks again for the help , both the sweet itchy ones have a hanfull of alfa a twice per day in winter but the mule is not fed in the summer as the grass is lush and the warmblood stays on the alfa a ,but maybe i will cut the alfa a out his diet and just feed the topline cubes with sugarbeet ...

I have been looking at the rambo sweet itch rug , so i may give it a go (thats the one that goes to the poll with ear holes ?) and with the marmite , how much should i feed? and should i put it in a feed or in a butty? (the horses love bread ). I dont eat the stuff but i will buy some in on the...

Hi, thanks for the tips ,i will get some yeast today . No i havent had a lot to do with sweet itch as i rescued the mule in october when it seemed to be calming down but she was still very scabby on her neck and tail , and the big lad i got in november from a friend who just accepted that he was...
