    Oh goodness, JB, I didn't know about Woolfie - I am so so sorry for you, she was such a beautiful girl. I am pleased that you are now able to take on another pup, and that you are getting the red merle girly you wanted. I hope she brings you plenty of joy. BBH xx

    Best respiratory system supplement?

    I used Airways for my COPD cob, if you have a cold you can also open the tub and have a big sniff - really opens your pipes up!

    New horse eating me out of house and home!

    I would actually look at Readymash Extra from Rowan and Barbary, I found it great for getting and keeping weight on my TB

    Keeping a horse at a competition venue vs cost of transport?

    I'd go, if you can afford it. If it doesn't suit you can always move again.

    Help regarding being mis-sold a horse by dealer

    To be honest, I wouldn't be too impressed with some of the responses on this thread! Slight difference between a bolshy horse and one who would and could cave your skull in. OP the first thing I'd suggest is getting a vet out, she sounds like she's sore somewhere - ulcers?

    What do you define as a big spook?

    Those are both of my old cob's favourite manoeuvres, always span to the left and generally both at the same time, or concurrently!

    Thor.. the emaciated horse from Bissel wood ride

    I'm diverting from discussing the original rider of Thor for the moment, but people carry weight differently. These women all weigh exactly the same, yet some I would class as heavier than the others, and some I would class as lighter. Going back to Thor's rider, yes she isn't slim, but A)...

    Thor.. the emaciated horse from Bissel wood ride

    Shock collars, anyone used them?

    Despite everyone here saying they use them on a vibrate setting? I would never shock my dog but am seriously considering getting a collar which vibrates to put on him as he recall is getting less reliable as he is getting older (now 10), turn your back on him for a second and he's half a field...
