Thank you, I’ll give them a call and also look into the flea bombs

No, just normal shampoo: after this mornings combing only 2 dead ones but he is still a bit itchy. Can I get a good flea shampoo in shops or would I need to get from vet?

Is there a particular flea bomb brand which is good? Will every room need one?

Thanks guys, I’ve never had this issue before. Feel like the worst owner too! I’ve signed up to the vets programme now going forward so hopefully it won’t happen again. I can’t see any fleas in the house but I know they are very good at hiding!

Hi all, I’m really embarrassed to say that my dog has picked up fleas. I give a preventive for fleas every month so not sure how it happened. I spoke with the vet’s who advised that fleas can become immune to certain preventatives, so I changed to one the vet sells which was in a tablet form...

Are you sure she is not on holiday? I'd give her a phone call out of curtesy anyway, you have said she takes good care of Horse and if it came out of the blue I'd be a bit upset and would want to talk to owner face to face/over the phone rather then email

Someone looking for a share for her 2 Horses. 1 that can't be ridden and an unbacked pony. Must do all jobs on their days and in return they can spend time on the ground with the Horses. Not too bad for someone who doesn't want to ride but wants Horsey time. BUT they also want you to pay for...

I'd be looking to get a lightweight professional on her in the school to see what happens, if Pony misbehaves for them I'd proceed down the vet route. If they behave perfectly then I 'd either get a good instructor or possibly put on sales livery and sell

Someone at my old yard had him out, unfortunately in this case he couldn’t help and did actually advice PTS (he believed the Horse had a neurological issue) but he was completely upfront and honest and wasn’t just trying to take the owners money for greed. Horse was Pts not long after.

This ^^^^^ I have always given ad-lib hay and I like to see some left in the mornings. I would be really annoyed if a YO was taking hay from my nets without me knowing.

such sad news xx

If good in hand, I would lead out to get his confidence up, if your only choice to end the hack is turn back on yourself this will be a hard habit to break. If you can lead out fine then I'd do this for a bit, then I would ride and when you are ready to turn for home then I would dismount and...

how is she in hand? if both of the Horses are owned by the same owner and both do it (although one does it more then the other) I would start to think the owner just turns them back round on themselves rather then doing a circle route. It sounds like a learned behaviour.

I have just had the shock of my life, I have had my Dog's insurance renewal quote sent to me, he is 9. £130 per month! that just seems absolutely crazy to me. Is that the going rate? I was paying £70, the only claim I have put in for was removal of a cancerous lump in his leg. No medication...

the mare is lucky to have you watching out for her. Please keep a close eye on her
