I need to buy a good safe disinfectant that can be used to wash out all her buckets, recommendations please. We are dealing with a Strangles case :(

Our 19 year young mare has dropped a lot of weight. We moved to a new yard a month ago and she is so much calmer and happier, the grazing is good and we can put hay in her paddock where as before we weren't allowed. she is fed on fast fibre & mixed with Spillers senior conditioning. She has a...

I have a 13.2 pony and she needs a fly rug. As a complete virgin to the horse world, what sort of size should I be looking to get? And do they have them on 24/7 or just during the day. Thank goodness for forums

As a mother who doesn't know much at all about horses, we have bought our first pony for our daughter, paid £1100 including tack and rugs, and although she's 17 (the pony not my daughter) we wanted a bombproof happy hacker, who will stand round and be fussed over all day. My daughter is 13 years...

I posted on here the end of April when we brought Rosie home. She is my daughters first pony that we own. The last 2 months have been really good and the bond that they have is just lovely. It's a massive commitment (I'm not a horse person) but we are doing well. Have a lovely small yard where...

Our very first pony arrived on Friday evening, we spent all day yesterday up at the yard sorting out our stable etc, spending time with her as she was in all day post-worming. She was pretty good with being in there for over 24 hours bearing in mind it had been a couple of years since she'd been...

Can anyone recommend an insurance company for our new pony. She is 18, and will be used purely for happy hacking, just wondered if there was anyone you would or would not use! My daughter has personal riding insurance for herself through E&L, and I have had a quote with them as well for pony...

We've got some lovely areas for hacking around East Hampshire, good 20 mins drive from Portsmouth will bring you into some countryside.

Thermals yes, remember those bloomin cold days during our loan days, brrrr but we have a luxury of a stable now so at least maybe keep a bit drier :) My daughter is 13 and loves being around ponies and a real happy hacker. Thank you for info on Vetting, have had a long chat with a few friends...

Thanks for the nice wishes, we are in the process of sorting out the stable and having fun spending th emoney getting all the lovely new things. Can I ask, a couple of people have asked if we are to get her 'vetted' and I'd not really given it any thought. Would someone please let me know...

Well yesterday we took the plunge and have bought our daughter her first ever pony. She has been riding since 8 years old and we have had a couple of really fantastic part loans which has taught me quite a few things, as I have never grown up with horses. I took myself off for some riding...
