Yes, thats what I thought.. rider & 2 horses or the extra one that covers 4. I wasn't sure if that singled them out or the public liability cover would cover all of them.. think I will go BHS. I cancelled it a few years ago as realised I had the cover with BD. I dont compete anymore now tho.

Looking at BHS Gold or Harry Hall Gold, as BD have changed their policy this year. I cannot see if there is a limit to horses covered... or if its a general cover.. Once you have it? ?

To risky re flies? Yearling needs gelding so he can go in with other horses..

I think.... if you are the main repro vet at a practice, maybe have your holidays before & after the breeding season? Tbh, Our practice has 2 very good repro vets, so always one available with general equine vet also good at washing out etc. Lucky to have a decent local practice with plenty of...

Argh! Its a shame you hadn't got someone local with some chilled available for the mare that ovulated. Both my mares caught after ovulation this year. How disappointing. Fingers crossed your other mare took.

I personally would go for something lighter, TB or TBxWB to produce a nice eventer type. I have an IDxTB (Embla) who is my horse of a lifetime. They sell well as have a nice brain usually & can turn a hoof to most things.

I agree but had people in my ear. My foals are 3 months old.

Not yet, just working out when we can move her next month.

Cheers, Ive travelled a mare at about 40 odd days for a scan, she carried fine but this is moving to a new place. If I needed to wait I would but planning on moving one at about 30 days

Its more to do with the mare being in foal again, ie when is ok to transport without risk of abortion?

When is considered safe to travel in foal mares with a foal at foot? Ie, showing or moving them to different grazing?

Mine are living out, bit muddy near the fence but not too bad. They both definitely are looking in foal now. Even with nearly a month between their due dates. One due in mid April, one mid May. Looking forward to seeing what they produce. Cannot wait to see all the foal pics :-)

If you register your foals with KWPN or other foreign societies, would that allow movement? Or would you still need the updated passport?

Looking forward to it. Had hoped some foreign studs may present again but still coming for the dressage stallions.

I am hopefully breeding one for myself, a chunky mare with a beautiful head & movement put to a german sire. I'm also breeding a dutch mare to a german sire for a more moden type, fingers crossed. Although until next year will have no idea what we come out with. I am not a fan of some of the...
