This was my tactic, I used to put a small bucket of food in the shelter and he would walk in but it's got really muddy around the shelter and he doesn't like walking through anymore :( Thanks for all the ideas though, lots to try out. Me and my sister are going to fence off a small area...

Ah mine's too wise for that I used to be able to catch him in a similar way but now I think he's just not interested enough in the treats. I don't think there's any particular reason he doesn't want to come in, he just never has . I've owned him for 5 years and he's always been the same, on our...

Hoping someone can help me as I'm getting very confused. My horse has recently been diagnosed with ulcers and is currently on gastroguard. He also has back pain for which he has had treatment at the vets and we are now trying to build up his muscle. He is also barefoot. He doesn't have the...

Thanks Everyone There are a couple on there I have been warned off already but got a few to consider
