Hey everyone I have a 2 year old Gypsy Cob who I want to get sent away for backing next spring. I just wondered if anyone knows of any trainers who can do this in the Herts/Essex area. So far I have come across two people and the price is £160 a week. I would like in the future to do dressage...

Hey all thanks for your comments, I have a good support system around me and like your friend my mum can babysit and she is also horsey so she helps out at yard too. I'm lucky to be at a stables where we all help each other too. There is no way I would sell him. Il find a way of coping. My...

Hi everyone, my Gypsy Vanner yearling seems to keep getting lice. I have noticed them mainly around his mane, neck and shoulders. I have try the lice and mice spray, also got a powder from the vets. It helped a bit but they just won't seem to go away. After treating him I disinfected all of my...

Hi everyone. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant and have an 18 month old yearling. I am on DIY livery. I sometimes worry how I am going to cope once the little one is here, like poo picking the field, mucking out, training etc and also the costs of having a baby, a yearling, and soon will be...

I'm not sure how to get photos onto this but I have an Instagram account for him :) it's myboyteddy2015 plenty of photos on there of him

Hi Thank you for both your replies, he stands tied and I can pick up his feet I just have a few problems with leading him now. When I tell him to stand or walk quietly he just seems to do what he wants to do. I am lucky enough to have him at a stables next to a forest so I could take him for...

Hi Everyone I have gypsy vanner yearling who will be 2 in August. Once he has turned 2 I am planning on starting training him. When I first got him he was pretty much wild, I managed to halter train him and taught him to lead and stand to be groomed myself. Although now he sometimes plays up...

Yeah that's what I think I should do too, by next winter he will be over 2 years old. So do you think I should change the balancer to something else? I just want to give him the best possible and I don't have much knowledge with nutrition.

Hi, I have only just realised I had replies on my post. Bit late but thank you everyone for your replies. I now currently have teddy on baileys light chaff, under half a scoop and 2 cups of stud balancer. This is what he has been fed throughout the winter. I am now thinking of taking him off it...

Hi everyone, I just wondered what everyone fed their yearlings. I have a 1 year old gypsy vanner and he is currently on one scoop of hi fi dengie and 2 cups of stud balancer with a sprinkle of garlic. He has this twice a day. The grazing at my current yard is poor so he also has ad-lib hay...

Hey I have a 9 month old gypsy vanner, I am new to the baby stuff as I've always had older horses. This one is my first, I'm at a yard with a few others an have gone by what they have said to feed as they know a lot more than me. I currently feed mine Hi-fi dengie and stud mix. If anyone has...
