The stables I plan on renting is from an experienced person that is going to teach me. The horse was purchased from her. in return I help out on her farm how is any of this relevant?

I have a horse on loan that has never been stabled and my own horse that before me was sometimes stabled but now lives out 24/7 I may be moving to a private field with my own stables but as I have never stabled a horse so i'm pretty unsure when to and if a horse would prefer to be out 27/7...

No. She is just 16hh lol 17 years young. Lovely girl.

My god they are the double of each other!

I'm thinking about a horse from horses4homes which you just have to give a donation. There is one horse on there that is 15 and says no medical problems and no insurance exclusions. That got me a little suspicious. If I did take on this horse and insure it... and he had a fall and I was to...

I am thinking of the future and wouldn't have a clue if it came down to my horse suffering and needed to be PTs. I have read different ways such as the slaughter house, vets etc. How much does it cost to send it off the slaughter? Do you have it PTS then ship it off or ship it off and...

Ok I get it now lol. Completely different to what I was thinking. Thank you everyone for being helpful.

Yeah I did say it was a dull question. But I am completely new and trying to learn. As she would only be hacking (on roads) probably most days would the shoes wear down as quicker?

So far I have found out it is £65 for a full set of standard shoes. I have been reading horses need to be reshod every 8 weeks (some say 6) My dull question is.. When the farrier comes out to do the shoes is £65 including trimming then shoeing? or would that be £20 a trim then £65 for the...

Short notice so might not get a yes but I have text the person I rent the field from. She said before if I get a horse I am comfortable on she will happily take me out hacking and help me. I'm asking her if she minds coming along with me. I didn't think of showing I have support. Thank you for...

That's the problem I have. Before this loan horse I could trot. I can't on this horse. She paces instead of trots. I am planning on giving up the loan soon. I just enjoy looking after her and it is giving me great experience dealing with horses. I just don't feel I can have lessons on her to...

So far I am feeling better. I can bring in from the field, groom, pick hooves, tack.. I do all this at the moment that I am fine about. It's being watched over I can imagine myself putting on the saddle backwards!! (maybe not that extreme lol) This is the tricky part. I was having lessons when...

She said the horse is bomb proof and when I told her I was novice. Her reply was she suits any level of rider and when I explained my loaner is too much for me as she needs an experienced rider because of different reasons and so she is killing off my confidence before I even start and again she...

If you were the owner and a viewer were coming what would you look out for when "judging" that person? I have been truthful in my emails that I am a novice rider and currently loaning a horse and do all of the care but I always think negative about myself. I am now crapping about viewing...
