    3.5 horseboxes, please educate me!

    Might no help as I don't personally own one but I love the look of the Renault ones best bet is to go and have a look at one in person to see weather or not your horses would fit in I would presume they would :) hope this has helped a little bit :)

    Anyone else had a wonderful weekend?

    I too had a lovely weekend took my mare for hack both days, first time since moving to new yard due yo wet weather making fields muddy. She loved it was really on her toes in her new surroundings, hopefully next weekend she'll be a lot calmer

    Canter confidence

    As the title suggests really, need some tips to help me canter. I've had my mare for 2 years and never cantered her as old owner said she drops her shoulder. So I've only ever walked and trotted her everywhere not that she complains. But I went for a hack today with a friend and she cantered...

    Trickle Net haynet..worth it?

    Go to the website and check out the other reviews of riders who have used it, it's a couple of threads in here. Sounds really good I'd definitely part with the money for one as my mare is a bit of a box walker when she's stabled

    Shocking case of violence and abuse in Argentina

    I think it's illegal to kill them inhumanly, so technically having to then go back and shoot the poor thing again is leaving to suffer unnecessary cruelty which you can get done for, think it might be classed though as 'Aggrevated cruelty' (I watch far too many law and RSPCA programmes :))

    Cracked feet

    No she isn't shod. As far as I am aware it is not the result of an injury.

    When did you fall in love...

    I fell in love straight away when I first met my mare. Had I any idea how difficult having a chestnut TB mare, I don't think I would have even considered going to see her. But in saying that yes some days I comtemplate selling her but then others when it's been a particularly stressful day at...

    Loaner/sharer

    Looking for someone with far more experience than me to loan/share my tb mare. I work unsociable hours so I don't get the chance to work her during the week in the winter. She can be quite a handful but you just have to be firm with her and stand your ground. A little bit about her...

    Proper Novices-Owning Horses? Thoughts.

    I didn't have much experience before I bought my first horse, but I had an amazing friend and her mum to help me along the way. Both instructors through pony club so had weekly lessons both practical and theory. I can not tell you how many times my friend got me to go over the points of a horse...

    To stable or not?

    Basically as the title says. Debating weather or not to stable my mare this winter. She's a very fine tb mare, had her stabled last year but it use to take her ages to settle down unless it was already for her to go straight in, ie feed ready on the floor, Haynet up and ready. This year she has...
