Having just retired my pony I'm looking for a new neddy. I've ridden for years and have probably become a little complacent with my bombproof mare. I would like a steady safe hack but finding something privately is a nightmare as often the seller hasn't the facilities to try out effectively or...

Any vet recommendations (or to avoid!) For pre purchase vetting in Kings Lynn area? TIA

I'm looking at buying a horse I the kings Lynn area. Any vets to recommend ( or avoid,! ) for pre purchase vetting?

Having just retired my pony I am looking for an angelic granny's dream. 13 -14.2hh happy hacker who is good in company and out on the tracks alone. Age/ colour /breed not an issue as long as he /she is sane sensible and 100% sound. Jumping ability not required, but must be happy on lead-rein...

Hi she was last tested earlier this year and is clear

Agree! Inefficient rider possibly causes more problems due to weight the horse having to carry. I personally prefer long reigning as you can we AND feel what a novice horse is doing.

19 yo NF mare history of laminitis, pedal bone rotation but several years of remidal trimming. Gradual then accute left fore lameness. X-rayed and scanned poll/ neck to hoof but no significant reason for lameness. Little response to bute therapy and Physio. Vet advises he has done as much...

Hi, visit www.greyhound-dat.com and you can search for your greyhounds name/ ancestry by clicking on 'dog search' link on the home page. I found Dawko on there! - I don't think there can be many dogs with that name. Gypsy might cause a bit of a problem as there are many with that name and...

I've two greyhounds and one of them usually has some cut or scrape that needs attention. Dee Dee has managed to rip out one of her claws in the past which needed a couple of weeks of pressure dressings to stop the bleeding. Mel has something called a 'knocked-up' toe, basically she has...

I was once told the worst thing you can do is trust a greyhound! Having two of my own I know what they meant. I'm live in a very rural area and can let my two off lead and their recall isn't too bad. However if I walk them in a built up area, they are muzzled as one of mine once lunged into...

Regretfully I had to return a dog to a very well known rehoming charity. Inspite of trying all of their suggestions, our lifestyle did not suit the dog and it was making his and our life miserable. The charity actually made it very difficult for us to return him, and the guilt they made us...

Has anyone got their horse / pony passport from this agency and still pay their yearly membeship fee for the Society's membership benefits? I'm struggling to see what I'm getting for my yearly fee, therefore I would apprciate anyone elses experiences. Please PM me if you have any comments good...

It was obviously meant to be! On hind-sight I wish I'd let my old dog have a litter because she turned out to be a super dog.

Ensure if you are planning a rescue dog that the re-homing kennels know you have a cat. Although most charities will assess the dog for cat-friendliness it is no guarentee and extreme caution needs to be carried out when introducing cat & dog. I have two retired greyhounds and they were...

I'm not convined it would stop a greyhound on pursuit of murder. There is a house near us that has this type of fencing and it doesn't stop their dog crossing it on the way out, but the dog won't return home as it knows it will get a shock as it tries to recross the 'line'. One of my greys...
