    Stabling in Shadoxhurst, Kent

    Hi, I don't post on here that often but wondering if anyone could help? I'm going to be moving to Shadoxhurst and will be looking for DIY livery soon. Not fussed about facilities as both my 2 horses are retired but ideally would like 2 stables with all year turnout. Happy to consider a field to...

    Livery Yards in South Croydon

    Hiya, The yard mentioned on wdhc website is Heathfield Farm. I was there for a few years and was very happy. They only do DIY livery though. South Croydon is quite urban and apart from heathfield there isn't much choice! However if you are prepared to travel a bit further, like...

    Exercises for stengthening Core Muscles??

    You can do pilates at home - get yourself enrolled on a few courses somewhere so you know what you are doing and how to do the exercises properly and then continue at home!

    Prestwood farm Connies

    Ive bought 2 from them in the past and echo all the comments made. They really take the time to match you with the right horse. Prices are a little on the high side but you do get what you pay for.

    Cushings meds - have you set a limit?

    I agree with your comments and think you have to be sensible about it. My pony has been on 1 tablet of prascend for a year now and so far, so good. But like you, I know there will come a time when I have to make that decision. For me, the answer to your question is I will keep going as long as I...

    A concerning relaxed attitude to fat ponies...

    Sugar_and_Spice I agree with your sentiment for those unlucky few who have a poor quality of life. Being stuck in a stable 24-7 permanently for weight management is no quality of life, for example. However, there must be a balance. If you know your horse is prone/succeptable to laminitis it's...

    Cushings?

    My pony has cushings. Currently is on 1 tablet of prascend each day. I get a prescription from my vet and buy the drugs online as it works out much cheaper. Cheapest I've found per tablet is 97p from Viovets. Good luck

    Finding Sharers...

    Thanks Princess Jess, I'm based in Warlingham/South Croydon, Surrey/London area. He is a coloured 15hh ISH, aged 11 and a huge scopey jump and good on the flat too. Happy to hack out alone or in company and good on roads. My yard is a quite very friendly yard with a great 60 x 20 all weather...

    Finding Sharers...

    I'm considering looking for a sharer for my 15hh ISH... short term or long term and flexible on stable duties etc - it's more the exercise I need help with. But I'm not sure where to start looking - if anyone is able to point me in the right direction that would be great :-)

    Full/Part Livery around Croydon/West Wickham

    I think most of those are DIY and the two that tick all your boxes in terms of facilities that I can think of are Heathfield Farm (Gravel Hill) and Wickham Court (West Wickham). At the top of Featherbed lane you have Fickleshole Farm and Fairchildes Farm, but again they are DIY. Holt Farm offer...
