As title says

Has anyone had a horse/pony with breathing problems. My boy came to me I put him on shavings and he ate them to the point he gave himself choke. His breathing went so bad he was heaving and had flared nostrils. Got vet out who agreed that the shavings has caused the bad cough which has irritated...

I've recently brought a gelding who is in the same field as my mare. Is it normal for geldings to mount mares? And still produce jizz sorry for TMI. He was gelded just over 2 years ago.

Hiya Everyone, when would you use a grackle bridle? I have my youngster in a kimblewick as she's so strong. I don't want to put a stronger bit in. I was told a grackle can help is this true? I've heard people say they've gone back to using a snaffle with a grackle.

That did make me chuckle H&Hfeatures :)

Thank you Tallyho. I can get her to do all I ask inhand she doesn't hesitate, she hacks well and listens to all my walk trot and canter cues going through the fields so it really is just schooling we're struggling with. Over the last week or so I've done the most silly hacks in distance...

Thank you Tallyho I will look her up. The lady who came to me last week was just to tell me her thoughts from an outside view as to whether I've not taught her right or whether we need lessons/help. Anyway I've got a dressage instructor coming out Friday for a hour lesson. She's got lots of...

I'm in desperate need of DIY livery as near to eastbourne as possible. For a mare.

Thank you. She's a good girl. Not phased by anything that could actually hurt her lol she's seen cars, tractors, bicycles, quad/motorbikes, ambulances, lorries and even barking dogs. Just moving horses and birds behind trees that bothers her lol. I agree they're still so young aren't they...

Thank you will try that. She responds to walk trot and canter on the lunge she goes in to them straight away and will come back down with a woah. Same when we ride down the track they're all there of the leg and voice. I'm all for getting help as she is a brilliant youngster just need help...
