My boyfriend joined this site when he heard me mention it, and he's not horsey, but still gives advice on here about other things, such as building questions! Hope you sort this out, and it did make me chuckle that you called the passport a log book! Sorry, don't be offended!

[ QUOTE ] Slightly of track...... I went to a Tuesday night clear round jumping class and there were about 11 jumps?? Lots of young kids on flash ponies flying round clear. A young girl-about 10?? came in on her pony, a bit of a thelwell but pretty. He stopped at EVERY fence. At some fences he...

They are two completely different feeds - and if you fed the recommended amount of Fast Fibre you probably wouldn't be any better off financially compared to TS. I have only used it to bulk out feeds, not as a suppy of nutrients (although it is supplemented).

[ QUOTE ] That shoe has been pulled and slipped.. not fitted like that! Lou x [/ QUOTE ] Exactly what I was thinking - my horse did the same thing the day after being shod, and my then farrier was fantastic. The shoe did actually come off before he could repair it, but he was out within 2...

I have only done it with one, and three years on, you still can't ride him without him throwing a mental at some point - worst decision I ever made! I would never send a horse away again. This lady is very well known in my area, and very respected - you just don't know. My sister had a similar...

Anyone know how long it really takes to work and how long the effects last for? It will be used in respect of stiff/painful legs due to arthritus.

Sometime before the age of 15 (when we bought him) and he is still going strong (and hardly ever stiff or lame) at 31!

Usually, but I do get the grumble about money on almost a daily basis! And one thing I have noticed is that men don't think they need to learn to ride, they think they can just get on and go!

He looks awful at the mo, it's so sad. It makes me want to cry when I see pictures of him! I watched his most recent documented interview and couldn't watch the end - it's tragic.

Thanks Amymay, I know I've got to get him, and hopefully she'll understand, if not at least I've done my best by him. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for your replies, I just don't want to offend her, but I think I will just have to tell her the truth, but her family can be really bitchy, even if she isn't! I was going to tell her I miss him, and I do actually so I might just say that as well! Thanks again, I will let you know how it...

I have a real dilemma on my hands, concerning one of my horses and my best friend!! She took one of my horses (appaloosa X NF) on loan last May. I went to see him in October last year and was quite shocked to see how he looked. He used to be quite well-built, with a really nice weight, and he...

[ QUOTE ] a bottle of used KY lubricant... very odd... found it in my net so dont know if it was in the bale or someone had put it there... cue hysterics at yard! [/ QUOTE ] Sure it wasn't from the same batch of hay that the other poster found a condom?!!

If you ensure your horse with Petplan before the age of 20 it covers for vets fees until the age of 25! I'm with them, and had a quote from NFU, and the Petplan quote came out slightly cheaper.

I have personal experience of such a problem, fairly recently! Wasn't my horse though, but we were looking after it!
