I have just changed to animal friends insurance, much cheaper than more than who I was with before, but haven't had to claim so not sure of service. But i liked the fact they were not for profit and donate to animal charities

I was going to say mites too. My pony had scabs up his legs where he had been chewing at them. I thought it was mud rash to begin with. He was also very touchy feely around his heels. It wasnt til he started stamping his feet and rubbing them against everything that I realised it was mites...

So sorry for your loss Sweet dreams Spot

The two faces of Lilly - its the same dog, honest! truly hideous

My little Sheltie follows me everywhere, and hides behind me if other half tries to walk him without me! My boxer is a total baby though... she's sitting on my knee right now

He has about 8 and 1/2 inches so he would be a lightweight Thats been buging me for ages thank you very much lol I'll need to dig out some pics

Whats is the definition of a lightweight, mediumweight or heavyweight cob? I hear people use the terms all the time but can't seem to find the difference? Is it the amount of bone rather than actual weight? Or height? I have a little cob so was just wondering what he'd be classed as. Thanks!

Can someone tell me the difference between riding in a normal snaffle bit and riding in a snaffle with lozenge? My horse tends to lean on the reins, been working on it with lots of transitions and little rein squeezes but someone recommended to try a snaffle with lozenge. I didn't get an...

Awww... big sad eyes. I love boxers lol

I'd recommend a boxer too!! My 2yr old white girl is snoring across my knee as I type. She does need a LOT of exercise and can be a complete nutcase 90% of the time but I'm never without a smile at her antics! They can be a very a tactile breed too, she always loves company and cuddles I 've...
