£1000 would be an absolute bargain compared to what I’m currently paying…

Thanks - food for thought .. We do have a PRW across one of our fields although I’ve only ever seen one person use it since we moved - presumably that complicates matters public liability-wise?

Who do people use for house and yard insurance? We’re currently with NFU but the cost is eye watering. We need standard buildings and contents insurance for the house (old stone farmhouse, tiled roof, oil-powered boiler) but also for the yard (5 stables, tack room - the expensive saddles are...

A couple of well-regarded dealers who often get recommended on here and many other places are pushing buying unseen. One of them said in a recent post that they’d only done one viewing in 2025 - all the rest had been sold unseen. A local dealer here sources mainly cobs and cob x from Ireland...

Well I’m old and I’d have said muppet not moppet …

Ugh … I hate all these posts which people have so obviously used AI to create … there’s a particular way these are constructed which really makes me wince.

I’ve recently sold a 2017 511 - in good condition, a couple of minor cosmetic faults and the tyres were going to need changing in the next year or so. I advertised it at £5,500 and accepted £5,300.

Is Hexham any good? Someone’s advertising four horses for share on the NE horsey Facebook groups

Ah interesting that many of you have non-tuggers too - he loves the toy I’ve been using (it’s actually a Death Star 😂) which has lasted for ages so I’ll carry on using that

I’ve just started agility classes with my three year old Toller - he seems to be a natural (me less so 😳). He’s food and toy motivated which is great but I have two questions.. 1. Can you recommend treats to use for things like contact training - last night he ate virtually his body weight in...

I have a year old UHIP - it’s supposed to be waterproof with reflective panels - the reflective material started to break down after only a few weeks. Their customer service team were great and sent me out a new (non-reflective) coat and I kept the old one for dog walks/yard work. I went out...

Possibly but the day I first noticed it was really cold and he was just standing in the stable, not running around

We’ve unfortunately had quite a few vet visits recently and his heart rate is definitely no higher than normal - he’s in for a few hours during the day to get him off the grass and he really doesn’t seem stressed at all, certainly less stressed than he would be with a bout of laminitis ..

We’re northeast so it’s been pretty nippy this week although warmer at the weekend - I’ll keep an eye on it and partially clip if need be

Several times over the past few days I’ve noticed my 8 year old cob getting sweaty in the stable, especially around his neck. He’s unclipped but it’s been quite chilly here and he’s not been exercising as he’s just standing around eating hay. He’s been retired from being ridden due to...
