    Guess the breed/s

    He was relinquished by a lady with four children under seven, who realised four young children, one large breed puppy and working full time wasn't going to work. She got him from the lady who purchased him from the breeder. This lady was in an abusive relationship and her partner used to hurt...

    Guess the breed/s

    You are all too good! He is 37.5% GSD, 37.5% Bullmastiff, 25% Boxer. The DNA test was spot on with the three breeds, we do know his parentage. We did the test as a bit of fun, and to double check what we had been told about his parentage as he just seems to keep on growing! His name is...

    Why would anyone want to own a tb?

    Thank you :) Not bad for a freebie!

    Guess the breed/s

    I foster dogs for a local rescue. Late last year we took on an emergency placement, a seven month old 'big dog'. He is now 16 months old, rather large, and not going anywhere - our second failed foster dog! I wanted to know how big he was going to get, as he just keeps growing and...

    Why would anyone want to own a tb?

    I have always avoided TB's like the plague. Then a friend asked me if I would look after one for her as her rescue was full. I fell in love! Mind you, she is the least TB-y horse I have ever had. Calm, kind, not stressy, lives on fresh air, great feet, has a max of a MW rug on, even in...

    Conflicted on what to do.

    My girl is 11 years old and has been a field ornament for the last four years with me due to various issues. She is as happy as larry, loves being a horse just mooching about in a field playing with her pals and having a fuss from time to time. If your horse is happy not being worked and you...

    Horse won't load!

    My mare is a nightmare to load. Many a professional has tried and failed. Pressure and release do not work with her. The only thing that does work is Mr Blue Pipe, or a sweeping brush niggling her from behind. She gets cross and kicks at it but soon realises that the only way to get the...

    She's now called Tegwen :) It was my favourite anyway, and judging by the poll results yours too! Looking forward to starting work with her. Thanks all :)

    Need a name for new pony..

    You can spell it with an 'e' or a 'y' :) Must admit it is one of my favourites.

    Need a name for new pony..

    Two of the names are the names of people I know, one I have heard someone being called in the pub and the others I looked at online names and chose some I liked. Can't call her Polly, I have a niece called Polly, and I really want her to have a Welsh name - the pony, not my niece! :D

    Need a name for new pony..

    I have never watched Game of Thrones so didn't know there was a character called Tirion! I will discount that one then!

    Need a name for new pony..

    She is a 2yo Welsh D x, currently standing at around 14.1. She has had minimal handling, she has had a headcollar on a handful of times but has mainly been left to her own devices. She does already have a name, but I would rather her have a Welsh name, being a Welshie and living in Wales...

    Go with your gut or go with the vet?

    Go with your gut. I have a TB who is a bit of a drama queen, and twice in the last year has been hobbling, as if she had an abscess. Got the farrier out who said no abscess. People were telling me to get the vet out asap, but I knew she had just tweaked something being an idiot in the field...
