My mare has started itching, I know nothing about sweet itch but it seems she is starting with it. Only had since June last year and she did have signs of it but nothing major and we managed through the rest of summer pretty well with minimal rubbing and a regular fly rug. Im looking at getting...

Yes i know. I have just been very lucky that all my past horses have never had it. Do you know how much treatment for it is. I don't mean the surgery. Just the meds and painkillers they give them.

I dont know how long it has been since she travelled before Saturday but in previous homes she's travelled because she used to show. Last 4 years has been hacking. I honestly do not know what to do. Yes its a big worry but what If i send a good pony back and its doesn't happen again. I have no...

She is just going to be for hacking, no travelling because i don't have a trailer Owners said it's never happened before. I believe them because they were very shocked and wanted to do everything to get her better. Stayed in my field with her till gone midnight to monitor her. Travel was around...

New horse arrived Saturday. Very exciting until it came of the trailer and came down within colic in 5 minutes. Very quiet getting of the trailer and lay down as soon as it got to the field. Vet out and horse was ok. Few hours later the horse was much worse so had vet out again. Monitored...

I really feel for you. Its sounds like this dealer has sold you a horse with many problems. Did the dealer recommend the vet to you. I've read your other post too and i think you need to get a vet out to check this horse over ASAP. She is clearly showing signs that something is wrong and not...

Thank you? I have done everything that is advised when buying a horse so i hoping that she will be as they have described. From what i have seen she is but who knows. There are so many miss sold stories. I just hope im not going to be one of them.

Thank you. I was beginning to think i had made a massive mistake. I just cant wait to get her home to me now.

Is it normal to have a wobble after putting a deposit down on a horse. I lost my beautiful mare a few months ago and have decided it was time to look for a new pony. Since lockdown restrictions have been lifted i have been to view quite a few Ponies. Obviously sticking to the social...

I saw this yesterday. It made me feel sick. I just felt so bad for the ladies and horses having to deal with something so scary. Amazingly handled by both riders and horses.

Like everyone else i have been thinking about you all morning. Sending love to you. Take time to let everything sink in and don't let the "what if" play on your mind. You did everything you could have done to help her. Sometimes we just have to let them go.❤

What a lovely picture for you to treasure.

I dont think you are too big for him at all. He's gorgeous.

So sorry to hear this. Ive been thinking about how you were getting on so thank you for updating us. You are doing the right thing and have done everything you could have done for her.? Im sure she would love some time out in the paddock.

This is horrible, Im just so trusting of charities, that i never even thought of them doing something like this. I would have the horse put to sleep and just ring them and say he had a accident. Yes it legally wrong but i doubt they will even care if they are as bad as you say. You don't...
