    I don't know if I should sell my horse

    He's a good age to sell and may well find his person. Just be mindful who you sell to. Being a parent changes your life, and you now will have another time demanding creature to look after. Id sell before you have the baby. I gel with very few horses tbh, lucky for my anxious pre (and me)...

    Advice re horse kick

    It's a bit weird chasing after someone months after an accident has happened. What do you want out of it? I presume monetary compensation? Hopefully she's insured somewhere for public liability. As far as the separate incident with your horse getting kicked I think it would be difficult as you...

    Advice re horse kick

    It's tricky as you say as there is no evidence that the new horse is the problem. Herd dynamics change as horses in a field so it may have been another one,. you don't really know :/ it can upset the balance. Is there enough space where the new horse can graze on its own for a while, or maybe...

    Child "Influencers" (Exploitation)

    We shouldn't know she is on safari but clearly the family wants everyone to know this otherwise we wouldn't. I don't even follow her and now I know she's on safari due discussion on an unrelated forum. Parents should really pay attention to how far making money from displaying your child on...

    Child "Influencers" (Exploitation)

    I suspect they don't know anything other life as they were brought up to do this. Therefore they don't know there's a different life out there. I'm not sure it's much different to say the Jackson five or the Olsen twins?

    Child "Influencers" (Exploitation)

    Huh? Um not sure I understand the context of this comment apart from that you don't like swearing. I'm not sure swearing leads too entitlement?

    Child "Influencers" (Exploitation)

    I guess also by virtue of being an influencer you are constantly craving/needing to understand what interaction is on the internet as their business is their online life? Mugs game but it guess if successful you could potentially earn a lot of money? It's just it's there for all to see and...

    Cheapest way possible to build an all weather arena??

    I wasn't going to say anything as it's an ancient post, but I sincerely hope people do not mix plastic pellets into surfaces these days

    Just for fun - did you buy what you wanted?

    What I wanted, yes, what I planned the first time before looking, erm no. On my second tricky ginger mare and to be honest they tend to find me by catching attention somehow.

    New Mare+new yard+immediately in season

    Mares coming into season and triggering others off too I find is entirely normal with a new here mate. Just take what time you can, try not to feel like there's a certain time by which something has to happen to take the pressure off. Also not all mates love being touched. What was she like...

    Child "Influencers" (Exploitation)

    Sadly the likes of Harlow and Ivy won't know a different life as the parents have always punted them out on sm.

    Needing some thoughts on youngster

    5 year olds can be tricky creatures. Id echo getting someone who is good at training youngsters in or sending away for schooling. He sounds like he's learned he can tank off and do what he wants which is a problem and needs sorting.

    Another 'which yard'

    No arena in winter is really tricky for motivation. That and individual turnout would make me stay unless horse is someone that can't be turned out with others.

    Barefoot farriers/trimmers

    Ooh that's interesting. I have never had a farrier that's watched a horse walk first. Tbh if you have had a farrier who has done your horses feet for years, you are happy with them and they are sound, I'm not sure id worry too much about how long it takes. Mine wouldn't tolerate endless faffing...

    Real experience with Shivers

    Isn't shivers neurological damage? Id never knowingly buy one or even ride one tbh. But my previous horse was put down for neck arthritis which impinged on her nerves so I'm damaged goods! Too much heartache
