I have the difficult decision of deciding what to do with my mare when I go to university. She won't be sold so it's a choice between leaving her at her current yard and getting a loaner or bringing her with me and keeping her at a yard near to my university. I'm yet to decide on which...

A typical going-into-autumn post - which clippers are best? Does anybody have any experience with either of these clippers: https://www.naylors.com/horse/health-and-grooming/clippers/liveryman-harmony-battery-and-mains-powered-clippers-with-2-blades...

Glad its not just me having sizing issues, time to try a different brand I think!

Wonder peoples opinions on them? I bought my second one yesterday as my old one was too small only to find that, just like the pony sized breastplate, the cob size was also too small in the neck (and my mare wears a pony sized martingale!). Both were the 5 point Avignon breastplates

Just looking for some bitting advice for my mare. Currently she is in a loose ring waterford snaffle and she is very comfortable with this mouthpiece so I don't want too change it however she can get a bit strong/difficult to bring back to a walk or trot from canter at times so I'm wandering if...

October 2016 I bought my mare knowing she had hardly any muscle and was underweight but not knowing she cribbed. All winter she cribbed (and windsucked a fair bit of the time) but nearly a year later I'm so so happy with her. She's put on a lot of weight (a big belly! Never thought I'd see the...

Back in October we drove nearly 2 hours to view a horse, called the evening after we viewed to say we wanted him & put a deposit down. Few days later - after transport had been arranged & everything agreed with YO, the owners pulled out. They claimed it was because they didn't like the yard he'd...

Thanks for everyones replies! Our older dog prefers to just run off rather than do anything about it so when all the yelping started earlier it was just a bit of a shock for everyone lol, @Thistle older dog is literally just growling hasn't bitted or touched her once except for earlier when she...

No just in general really. They have therir own toys/bowls/beds etc but neither are protective over anything. If Penny tries to take one of older dogs toys we will always take it off her and give it back to older dog, but she isn't bothered at all. The only toy older dog is even the slightest...

Back in March we bought Penny home (Cocker Spaniel). As to be expected, her and our older dog (cockapoo, also a girl) didn't really get along. Our older dog turnt 6 at the start of this month, all she really does is growl and walk away from puppy, until earlier there was lots of loud yelping...

Thanks for posting the photo. It isn't soft but isn't rock hard either - can squeeze it within reason if that makes sense. Teeth due to be done around mid June (every 6 months hers are done)

Yes I know, that's why our vets coming out - I was just wondering if anybody has seen or had similar things with there horses

Before anyone reads, the vet is coming out to look! Luna has a lump in the corner of her mouth (will try and post photo). Not stopping her eating/drinking or anything, it's literally just sat in her mouth. Doesn't hurt her when you give it a squeeze either. I've noticed it starts getting...

Connemaras. Pretty things and everyone I've known has been absolutley lovely to ride & handle. Dapple grey Connemara if we're being specific!
