how was the grass fertilised ? and how long before they went back on ?

I had a similar situation 1 yr ago with horse purchased at dealer in ireland. Horse passed vetting (and I rode him over there 3 days with no issues) but after coming to netherlands was unridable. X rays revealed KS. He would not refund so I took a lawyer and eventually filled for the costs...

Thank you all, feel really supported ! My parents (and horsey neighbors) will certainly support me after the surgery this summer, no worries there, just don't want them to get involved with dramaqueen because at the moment they're moving into another house, don'want to overload them. But...

mmm....curveball. She asked me to put her saddle that she had from her former horse in a room where she could get it so she could clean it (had it in the house cos my tackroom is not locked) she does have a key of the gate. She picked it up today while I was at work. But she also removed the10...

I know that for my own sake and health I have to block her from stabling a horse here. But I have a hard time with it because I made a promise. I'm never that person that comes back on them. I'm in a fortunate position to do this- just not a good enough judge of character i guess. I was there...

Sorry this is gonna be long… I have a situation I have gotten myself into and I want to get out of (for which I may be a horrible person) Around this time last year I got in contact again with someone who I paid to feed my horses during the daytime while I was at work. I paid her in...

I had a LLetz done 22nd december for forestage cervical cancer, procedure went terribly wrong as the anasthetic did not work and therefore damaged other tissue as I was screaming and certainly not lying still. They told me to keep calm for 3 weeks, no biking, lifting etc riding they couldn't say...

can't send you any messages....

horses most definately do need remsleep, which they don't get if they don't lay down, and...by the now 250 pages on the dutch forum (bokt.nl) I can safely say that 8 out of 10 times the unwillingness to lay down is due to stomach issues. Put the horse on gastrogard or Abler for 2 weeks and I...

Exactly this, my horse refused to lay down when she had ulcers causing her to rock back and forth when sleepy and eventually falling over every 2 weeks, they need REMsleep.

hopefully you have found your solution and it can be solved. Just wanted to share my experience with this. I sent my then 6yr old off to be backed. I had already sat on her, but living alone and backing a horse is not easy + being self employed I thought it was wise to send her off. I went...

standard in my FA kit !

not much you can do about them when on a horse, but in my previous house there was this guy who had some sort of flying contraption that he flew with (he himself up in the air) and he would fly over my house !!! I jumped in the car and followed him to where he eventually landed and made it very...

on a dutch horseforum a girl with a horse that had become blind attached little cat-bells to the electric fencing at certain intervals (the kind u use to stop a cat from getting birds) this helped a lot.
