Several options: you could indeed do a running-plait, I've done it with mine and it does keep her cooler. I did hogg her one year; but then almost immediately wished I'd not been so rash (like you do) and the mane took a whole year to grow out, and looked bleddi awful for all of that time. I've...

I've got the "human" type inhaler meds for mine, same as for human asthma apparently; the blue one first then the maroon one. I use a baby inhaler. Cheap as chips and does the job. What I do is place the spacer over one of her nostrils, and put my hand over the other. Vet said to administer...

Ohh my goodness; at that age I've have seriously shed blood to be able to have a pony of my own. However if your kids are not interested then they are not interested, end of. Let this lovely little pony go to somewhere where they will appreciate him. Hope the sale goes OK.

OK..... so firstly let me say that understandably you are outraged at the behaviour & attitudes shown, any one of us would be. Whilst we live in rural Devon here, we do have to do a lot of road-work, and sadly not everyone is considerate - I've had a (woman) driver deliberately hoot at me when...

^^^ Tell me you've got a Dachshund, without telling me you've got a Daxie..... Correct??

My coblet (profile pic) grew when she was about 8 - 9. I had to get a new bridle as her head had grown!!

When something is sold, it is sold. Once the money has changed hands then it is no longer up to the old owner to stipulate anything or lay down conditions, end of. There is no legal obligation whatsoever upon any "new" owner to fulfil this kind of obligation - whether it is a car for sale, or a...

I rely on what my pony "says" (profile pic) actually. She's a cobby little beastie, and I know that she really dislikes it if I ask her to go on swampy ground, for instance having to tuck into a muddy gateway if we are out hacking on the road. I trust her judgement.

I would check your feed - my vet contra-advised anything with either garlic or mollasses in it for my old sweet-itchy lad. Both can cause itching. I'm a little unsure TBH whether you are dealing with actual sweet itch from what you say however......... if there IS sweet itch, I'd expect to see...

Mine is asthmatic, and yes I've used it. I used a dessertspoonful (or "handful" if you don't want to be scientific!) and made a tea with it. Steeped it overnight, and the next morning tipped the liquid (not the leaves) into a water-trug. We regularly do a "water buffet" for ours - and this was...

Years ago I had a lovely sweet Welsh D mare, and the vet recommended Nutriquin. Ginger dog now is struggling a bit with mobility, so I've bought the doggy version. Bit early yet to say I've noticed a difference, but am hoping they will help her.

Difficult one: can't offer specific advice I'm afraid. See, years ago you could easily pick up a little single-horse (or "mare & foal) trailer) quite easily. Nowadays they're like hens-teeth to source. That would have been ideal for your situation. You really need a good towing vehicle don't...

Sorry......... I am not quite sure of the situation here: perhaps 'tis me, but I've read and re-read what you've said a few times now, and sorry but I'm just not getting it. So have you got this mare ("it) on loan? Or is it yours? Or does the horse belong to the Yard Owner and you are looking...

I would seek the advice of your instructor. "Green on Green" is normally a big no-no. However when I was a (very!) novice rider in the version of my very-much-younger-self at 13 years old; I had the sweetest little pony who had apparently been ridden by a disabled rider, and he came to me. He...

What area of the country is this in?? OK....... so looking at this land, and the surrounding geography: the reservation I would have, and the question(s) I would want answered, are - what are those ridged bits on the escarpment on the skyline there?? They look like they could be old open-mine...
