Wondering if I could have some advise please, I’m not overly knowledgeable on in-depth stuff about feeds, i know the basics and I listen and take advise :) We purchased a pony 6 months ago for my 12 year old daughter, safe PC schoolmaster type, he’s been an absolute dream! Genuine...

Can anyone recommend a sales livery in the South West (we are Taunton) that would help sell my friends daughters pony? daughter had a bad accident a while ago (not on this pony) and has decided she doesn’t want to ride anymore, really shaken her bless her, friend is totally happy with that and...

Thank you so much for all the replies, I read them all and took it all in! We decided after agreeing another slight price drop to go ahead and buy him, it wasn’t my vet who vetted him, (to far away) so I spoke to my vet for reassurance. Went through the options of treatment and costs and whether...

Thank you for your reply, up in the groin area, so no where near tack, the vet said they would not effect him ridden etc.

So after months and months of searching we finally found the perfect pony for my daughter, ticks every box for us! was priced quite high and been on the market for several weeks i offered 1.5k less than asking price which was accepted, Pony flew through a 5 stage vetting, but picked up he had...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Apart from having 2 ponies at home, I have been out of the horse loop for about 9 years now (raising a family, building a house etc!), but I now have the time (and funds!) to buy another horse for myself. I have been looking through hundreds of...

This is exactly what I was thinking! Thank you for sharing

Keep popping back eagerly waiting for an update! Keeping everything crossed for you!

Thank you! definitely think the idea of lining with board/ply will make me sleep better at night, thanks. I've never seen gates used before but the only way I can persuade the lovely husband to allow me to use them as stables is if it can be used for alternative uses as well!! :-)

Just after some advice please, I would like to divide a 12ft x 28ft space in to two stables, but that could also be opened up in to one big space again for lambing. My thinking is to use a galvanised half mesh gate which could be opened up and pinned back for sheep, but also closed to allow two...

Thank you for your replies! Did quite a bit of research last night and have been out today and bought a few bags and Zero chop and ordered the Equimins advance complete online, great advise and fingers crossed my fatty will be transformed in a couple of months!

I would be really grateful if anyone could give me some advise on feeding for weight loss, (seen lots of threads for weight gain but not weight loss) turned my ponies away for the winter, noticing one was getting a little porky but didn't take on board by how much until this weekend when they...

Moving to stoke sub Hamdon in a couple of months so starting to look around for livery yards within the area, (Martock, Chiselboroufh, Merriott, Crewkerne) anyone know of any? I'm new to the area so a bit clueless on what's about, Google search isn't coming up with much!! Thank you :-)

Moving to Stoke sub Hamdon area in a couple of months, wondering if anyone knew of any livery yards around the area? Martock / crewkerne / merriott area, many thanks, L

Yes it's a loan, so she isn't paying anything just the keep of the horse, the price we agreed was his value when she had him not what he is now as she has done a lot with him over the 3 year loan period, I've drafted a letter and haven't offered the continuing loan option, and have reduced from...
