Apologies for the slight thread hijack, but I am also moving to Norfolk - well, the Norfolk/Suffolk border so I'm keen to hear people's opinions too. I'm really looking forward to it as it seems a beautiful place but I've not had much luck looking for livery yards online. If anyone could...

Hi, I'm moving to the area soon and having trouble finding a yard. Can anyone recommend a yard for full livery near Diss? Ideally looking for a friendly yard with good hacking and a decent all weather school.

No one really knows definitively, although quite a few studies have been done, but it could be related to stress. In people, "stress" is known to make gastric ulcers worse, although it doesn't necessarily cause them. Obviously, it's pretty difficult to categorically define "stress" in a horse...

Hi, I'm new to this forum but have just read the thread from start to finish and I'm really glad you decided to take on your lovely little mare. She seems very sweet and I don't think you could have lived with yourself not taking her! Cushing's is a manageable disease, especially if caught...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a decent riding school on the Wirral, preferably close to Neston? I've been out of practice for a while due to a knee op but I'm hoping to get back into riding when I move to Neston later this year. I would really...
