No its okay you didn't offend me :) thanks everyone for your advice yeah no kids yet or any time soon haha but maybe in the future although I prefer horses and dogs to children :p

I have a horse on full loan at a diy livery atm :) so am aware of being responsible for a horse :) but not three haha I have an instructor who I use atm who would come to my house and have lessons with us so that's all though out :) plus would have another year of loaning my current horse before...

Thanks everyone for your advice al very helpful :) Yeah I will have hedges trees and have seen some free standing shelters. Think it might be cheaper as someone mentioned above looking for old barns or something with land which Er can knock down and them rebuild a house depending on...

We've found lots of land with outlined planning permission for houses etc but they range from 2-20 acres as we don't mind living in any of the three counties and there seems to be lots of choice obviously for different budgets but would rather not waste our money buying way more land than we...

Not sure If this is in the right area :) Have been looking at buying a horse for myself for quite some time, we are now in the possition having saved up ect to look at buying some land next year and building a house. My question is how many acres would I need to have? Ideally I'll be buying...

When he naps next time try walking him around in circles until he decides he is fed up and will go forward, some people will sit there until the horse gets bored and eventually gives in but circles always seems to work for me.He may be nervous or just being naughty but in both cases you need to...

Surely must be a troll!

Have you heard of reesheath? That'd a college that does lots of equine courses where you have your own horse for the length of the course and learn everything plus I think they do accommodation :) its well know in the county and am sure could fix you up with contacts for jobs I don't know your...

Yeah having a problem with the trying to find a perfect horse part :p as I don't want to over sell myself so am looking for horse that is "a novice ride" but majority of them say no novices etc. Am happy for a forward going but safe horse as I don't want a plod along. And as above am happy to...

Yeah would like to rehome one have looked on homes4horses and world horse and blue cross do you know any other horse charity websites? :)

Thanks everyone! Where would you recommend looking for a horse! I'm currently looking on preloved, and horses4homes as I like the idea of rehoming a horse that someone can no longer keep to give it a happy life rather stuck in a charity :) any other good websites for full loans?

Hi everyone just after people's thought on wether you would say I was "ready" to have a horse of my own. I had ridden from when I was 7 till 17, during this working in my riding stables from 14-17 with both riding school and livery horses so am confident on ground handling as have worked with...

That's interesting I was under the impression I'd be paying the insurance, excess etc myself :) as assumed was part of parcel on the full responsibility not that I mind either way. Think I'll go against any vetting but if I decide to considering buying in the future would get it vetted Thanks...

Great thanks, wasn't sure I could terminate the contract as say the horse develops an illness the owner could swear blind it had never been the case prior to me loaning or was unaware etc and leave me to foot the bill as I couldn't prove when the illness started.

Just wondering people opinion on vetting a horse on full loan. Which would be better 2 or 5 star? Or simply involving a clause in the contract saying the horse is sound at time of loan or listing any know issues, predispositions etc and then if any medical issues arrise that can be...
