my sister's 7yr old gelding has a lump about the size of a apple on his throat, we noticed it a couple of weeks ago and were assured by more experienced horsey people not to worry, well we are, and we are getting the vet out first thing monday. we both bought our horses two yrs ago having not...

thank you for your kind and helpful answers, and I agree keeping her in would drive her crazy and she is very good in the field she's not one for galloping around like a lunatic. you all have helped me decide to put her out a couple of hours.xx

was just wondering if its better to keep your horse in when the fields are very muddy, Iv read on facebook of horses slipping and breaking legs. This is only the second winter Iv had with my horse, she's my first horse so Im not that experienced but I am sensible. Some of the other liveries are...

think you maybe right

I do think when your paying £100 a week full livery there's no harm in asking if you can boil a kettle, especially when people have had long journey straight from work. we don't expect to cook a meal!

Thank you for all your replies, really grateful. the horse in question can be a cheeky lad but on this occasion he was tucking into his net, the girl was trying to rug him up and lost her temper with him, I have seen her hit her own horse when the poor thing has not done a thing wrong:)

my sister and myself have a horse each on a really lovely yard, when my sister called in the other day one of the other owners pulled my sister aside and told her another horse owner was helping to bring the geldings in from the field and started really smacking my sisters horse. well my sister...

Hi I have my horse on full livery at a very happy, small yard, theres only one problem the owner has asked us to poo pick in the paddock. just wondering if anybody has ever been asked to do this at there yard, Its just I pay full livery due to my work and my spare time I want to spend with my...
