Thanks Jemima that's good advice. He is very playful out in the field and was turned out with another playful one. The problem was he was doing too much and kept coming in sound and then after an hour in his stable he was hopping lame and knackered. now he's with a quieter horse that he follows...

I have a 26 year old horse that I've owned since he was a baby and I was 12 when we got him. We've done everything from PC to dressage talent spotting. He's my one in a million horse and I really don't want him to suffer even a day so I'm really struggling to make a decision. He retired 3...

Hi I don't know of anywhere but am looking for the same thing. Would be interested if you found anywhere? Cheers

thanks for the reply. I Will give them a call this week. are you at the yard or just know of it?

I feel your pain. My yard now seems to have only 1 winter field which is small and muddy with no grass. They're still going out atm but yard owner is encouraging for them to stop in. My horse is retired so I can't even exercise him properly if he doesn't go out. Vet has said he can be lunged but...

I'm totally fed up at the moment with my current livery yard as the one little winter field is just saturated and muddy and it's only November. I can't cope with a few more months of this! As my horse is retired the number 1 priority is turnout, and having an arthritic going out in wet boggy...

Hi Any recommendations for medium-weight turnout rugs, but with high denier. Struggling to find anything over 600 denier and not good enough for the rug ripping terrors in the field! My horse isn't clipped at all, so can't wear anything too warm. I've got a premier equine one but it...

I would still pay for him though wanting to avoid the livery charges I am currently paying, but feed, vets, farrier etc I would expect to pay. He could live out in all but the worst weather though I would prefer a field shelter. He's never lived out except in Summer, but he is irish draught x...

I have a 24 year old horse who has been retired now following vets advice. He has a couple of leg/foot problems but is basically sound on 1 sachet of danilon a day. He's been the most fantastic horse for the past 20 years and I want him to really enjoy his last years. I still keep him on the...

Hi My horse was turned out this morning after stopping in last night due to bad weather. There was no sign of a problem. This evening I brought him in to ride and noticed that he would only only put weight on his toe. This is in one of his hind legs. He's reluctant to put weight on this leg...

Can't remember the score but When I clicked during my entire test and the wretched judge deducted 2 marks for every movement!! He even got out of his car afterwards to ask if I realised about the verbal communication. The funniest thing is that my mum thought he was telling me what a brilliant...

Thanks for the replies. I spoke to the vet to find out his exact test results and it turned out he was nowhere near borderline having metabolised 90% of the steroid. He is looking a lot better now anyway and the vet is back to assess him on Friday. I'm hoping he will say I can start riding him...

Hi everyone My horse is 22 and became laminitic while out on loan last year (he'd been on loan for a number of years). There's no clear reason as to why he got laminitis as he had no history of it and was not massively overweight. It also affected only 1 front foot and the others are fine. He...

Hello Does anyone know any livery yards in the Leeds area please? Needs to have good all year turnout. Thanks
