I love tb’s and would actively chose one that hadn’t been damaged by being the racing industry over anything else. I currently have a 5 year old mare that never trained or raced. She makes a noise in her wind which happily for her meant she got her pass out of the racing life. She is the...

Phew good news for the grey horse! That would have been an awful outcome if he didn’t get up

Wow drama! Thrilled for Jonbon

Yes I follow her too. Gutting for her. Really feel for her. X

The vets have been involved scince early summer and have tried everything in their remit and have come up blank. I think they sent off swabs for testing and it doesn’t clear up with all the different antibiotics available. It is a constant oozing through the skin rather than open wounds. I think...

Well jell 😆

I don’t have any additional suggestions but following with sympathy to see if others do. The riding school i teach at has had a bad time with this just this last year. Not sure what has changed with the environment but never used to be an issue. There is one large cob who has to be vet sedated...

I’d forgotten about Aidan too. I would love to meet Nico. I may have to go and fan girl him at some point. 😆😆

My post and rail is creosoted. Didn’t stop one of mine nibbling it. She came up in a skin rash which I assumed was due to the creosote so I turned her out in a muzzle for a while. They now have a huge round bale of straw in a shelter for extra chew ability and I haven’t caught her nibbling the...

My Connie has now progressed to this thread and I am slowly working him out. He behaves like a prey animal. Like he thinks he is going to get jumped by a lion from behind. He is the only equine i have ever owned that prefers to be in a stable than outside with the herd. Very interesting. He...

Yes that would be a great show! I love her as a trainer. I went to an open day there and never seen such happy horses x

my young tb mare had both hinds abcessing repeatedly last year. I think in her case she was just growing out the bad diet from being on a racing yard. She is fine now but they rumbled on for months and I was worried at the time. Xx

Yes I see that. Feel sorry for Nico. He is getting a lot of negativity for CH’s falls. Nico has done very well on Jonbon over the years and knows him inside out. Nico did have a bad concussion recently so maybe he isn’t fit for the ride. But still a wounder for him I imagine

Hurdle not hurdid obvs😆

I wouldn’t be wanting the ride on CH in the Champion Hurdld if I was Nico D’Boinville that’s for sure.
