Looking for some advice re loading travelling issues. I have a 6yo mare who is a terrible traveller. When I first bought her she travelled fine. She also was fine for the next few times we boxed her. Then out of the blue last summer, we went to take her to a show, and out of nowhere she went...

We are moving yards this weekend. It hasnt been an easy decision but it is definitely the right decision. It is not the nice friendly yard it used to be.The last few weeks I have dreaded going up the yard, and this is definitely not how it should be! When going to the yard becomes a chore rather...

I work full time as a receptionist Mon-Fri 9-5. I have 3 horses (2 of my own and 1 that belongs to my partner) all on DIY. I usually do them in the mornings. Im up the yard by 8. Give them some breakfast, change rugs, then turn them out. Leave the yard by 8:30. In the evenings my partner comes...

Oh OP I really don't know what to say. I am shocked someone could be so unkind to you and say such a horrible thing. You have done nothing wrong! You have tried your hardest to do right by your old boy. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You gave him a dignified, painfree end, in the home he...

My mare and my hubby's gelding today

I have a pony that I dont ride. He is perfectly fine and healthy. He was the first pony I bought for myself after leaving uni. I got him for a confidence builder after a nasty experience with a mare I had on loan. I honestly believe if it wasn't for that pony, I would have given up riding...

Is that the global herbs one? xx

Oh how I wish this forum had a like button :D I'm not overly fond of children myself. I certainly don't want any of my own! My partner has a daughter with his ex, and while I'm happy to see her, sometimes I'm even happier to take her back home ;)

Hi I've found my usual bouncy section D is feeling a bit flat over the last few weeks. Shes fine in herself but has just lost her usual spark. The same thing happened around this time last year so I've put it down to the cold weather/short days etc. Can anyone recommend a good supplement...

I would see no problem at all. What I take issue with is monitors taking the law into their own hands and making a nuisance of themselves. If they wish to follow the hunt, didn't try to intimidate, or put hounds/horses/riders at risk, and didn't trespass on private land I would have no issue...

Children on yards supervised at all times = no problem at all Children being allowed to run riot/parents using the yard as a creche = not ok. Yards are dangerous places and imo not a place for small children BUT I appreciate life is complicated and it sometimes may not be possible to leave...

Very dangerous when people take the law into their own hands imo. I don't buy the argument that "if the hunt has nothing to hide it shouldn't matter" either. In my experience the majority of sabs seem to out of their way to intimidate, cause trouble and ignore private property. They endanger...

The TC Bloodhounds had a horrible incident on Sunday where they were chased by an idiot in a car shouting abuse. I believe he even drove in to some of the horses. I have no sympathy for antis that behave in this way or try to intimidate/trespass/hurt people or animals. Our local hunt has a...

Just wanted to add; In the original video which I watched on fb over the weekend you can see her riding into the sabs. She repeatedly turns the horse and tries to mow them down. Both as bad as each other imo
