Me too

Kottas on Dressage. Don't be put off by the title, it does have advanced stuff in it but also explains the basics extremely well.

Just lovely, made my day.

I donate monthly to Somerset and Dorset - when I signed up I was wearing riding kit and the chap looked me up and down and said 'You people are our best customers!'

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought cinnabar moths could onlybreed on ragwort, so if you pick them off and put them on another plant they will die. I'm sure I read that they could take in the poison from the ragwort without it harming them and they in turn become poisonous, hence the warning black...

We had a rescued German Shepherd who was terrified of the vets and would shake like a jelly in the waiting room and howl the place down. Very embarrassing in front of all the brave as lions lap dogs behaving impeccably.

Just brought a new GSP puppy into the family, called her Minnie so she could be my other one's Mini Me. Our 24 year old pony came to us at age 5 with the name Rumbee Bear given him by his owner's tough looking biker partner who used to call him Rumbee Bumbee Bear. Suits him, actually - built...

My GSP had a lump removed from her hind leg and was a nightmare patient, managed to wriggle round the buster collar, remove stitches etc. My vets advised manuka honey which was very effective once we had figured out how to stop her reaching the wound!

A fox is a fox, ie a predator. Like all predators it will take the easiest prey it can, or preferably scavenge. A new born baby is ideal prey size for a fox, similar to a lamb or piglet, and if people encourage foxes by feeding them or carelessly disposing of food near to human habitation...
