I have just looked on the DVLA website to check the categories on my licence, and it still says I can drive a 7.5t lorry until 2047. There is nothing on there to say I will have to take a test....I have heard the rumours, but I'm not convinced they're true....?
I don't think anyone has said anything harsh at all! Far from it! No one has said you should be out there poo picking, just that it is a sensible idea to draw up a rota for you OR your sharers to fulfil your side of the task.
I'm sure none of us think you are having an 'easy' time of it...
In which case, it doesn't sound like the poo picking is actually the problem. If I were you, I would speak to your landlord (tactfully) to see whether you have any chance of going back to sole use. If that isn't an option, I would be inclined to find an alternative livery, because all these...
I'd draw up a rota and then either yourself, or your sharers do your days. It actually isn't the livery's fault that you're pregnant, or a high risk pregnancy, so I can see why she wouldn't be more lenient to allow for this.....I have poo picked/mucked out through 4 pregnancies with chronic...
*chuckle*....I started to reply to the post to which you refer, and deleted my reply....! I walk past gas bangers several times a day....sometimes I am unlucky enough to be within a metre when they go off, and they don't make the ground shake!
Just to play devils advocate, was there a livery yard there before you bought/moved into your property? Perhaps the farmer in charge of the gas gun is equally as upset at the increased neighing in the area!?
There isn't really a way of turning them off at night unless he goes round and...
To all those advising the fb group, I have joined it, and I have posted, however, other than the original reply, I haven't had any feedback, nor can I find the answers to my probably-unanswerable questions.
My yard is suitable for no-grass turnout....we are very lucky to have a big yard inside...
:-( The seizure thing sounds scary....it's a massive minefield isn't it? I have fed her low sugar everything (apart from unsoaked hay) since I bought her 7 years ago. She was massively overweight when she arrived and slowly but surely she has lost about 150kg and now looks on the 'slim' side...
I was soaking her hay....but tbh, she doesn't like it, and the vet said since she has always had unsoaked hay before, and the laminitis was due to the cushings, we have decided that for quality of life she can have hay that she enjoys.....
Ok....so small update and if possible I would love to hear about any experiences....
So the vet came last week to xray hooves.....there is a small degree of movement in one hoof, but nothing that they don't think can come right with trimming. The farrier came on Friday to trim away the excess...
