16.2 Irish sports horse, West Sussex

I desperately need to sell my unbroken 4yo, can anyone recommend a (decent) dealer/producer that would be interested in him? Theres nothing wrong with him, it's just my personal circumstances.

Thanks, said horse is in Ireland so no chance of using my own vet!

Who usually arranges this (buyer or seller?) and should it be a vet that doesn't know the horse or seller?

Thanks, he's unbroken (lunged, long reined and worn tack etc) 4 this year. He's a lovely kind boy but my son is in and out of hospital so I don't have the time to put the work in. Totally genuine sale but no one is interested!

It's frustrating. I am currently trying to sell my 4yr old ISH, he's a quality lad with potential to make a cracking eventer but I have had no interest in him other than someone say they would give me £500 for him (!) he's up for 2k but it seems everyone wants a cheapy.

Thankyou. I have a suspicion it's a small cob stallion that the previous owners have, though they assured me that she hadn't been running with him :/ because that's all the world needs... More coloured cobs!!

I have just found out that my children's 12hh cob pony is pregnant and not fat! We estimate that she is due around March/April time. I have never bred my own foal and had no plans to! I have thought about what is best to do/considered sending her to a stud to foal but then that leaves me...

I have 3 1/2 acres sectioned in to 3 paddocks, 2 are 1 1/2 acres and the third is half an acre. I have two horses and a pony, the horses are in at night at the pony lives out. They are all in the same 1 1/2 paddock and the others are rested. I know it's not enough but I have to manage with...

Is East Grinstead too far?

I can only find limited info on him online, does anyone know where I can find pictures of him (pref conformation shot!) and how big he is? Thanks

Thank you, he has just been wormed with pramox. Unfortunately haylage isn't really an option. He is on 2 feeds a day already. I will rug him up and up his feed for a week and then reassess I think.

I have a 3yo cob that has lost a huge amount of condition in just a month. He is out in the day and in at night, unrugged apart from a rain sheet in the worst of the wet. He has a big scoop of sugar beet, chaff and general mix, a huge haynet at night and a wad of hay in the field every...

Yes! My cob youngster was advertised at 14.3. He's actually standing at about 14hh

I have just found what I think may be 2 sarcoids between my horses front legs on his girth area. At first I thought they were scabs from something in the field, but now I think they might be sarcoids :( I've only had him 6 weeks and he is a 3yo, I'm wondering whether him wearing a...
