Yes pay by PayPal Goods and Services and make sure that photos you receive are clear and you have asked all questions you need to about condition etc so you have lots of evidence to go back on if you feel it isn't as described. I have sold a few saddles on Facebook and have never had any issues...

I don't have a horse one but hope you don't mind me adding a cat one... Cat came in one day with a massively swollen face and seemed very off and quiet and not herself, I thought a horse had kicked her in the head or something. I called vet as a warning and rushed her into the car and drove the...

Although she let you catch her this most recent time I would be on high alert for a physical issue (one that could well not show on a vetting). In my experience any of my horses that have become reluctant to load or be caught have pain issues, not necessarily obvious through lameness so please...

No problem with ours and had them in heavy use for around 2 years now.

This is a very good point -we have been having issues with one of ours finding it difficult to get into canter on one particular rein unless heavily supported by a rider, it was obvious it was because he was struggling to bring his leg forward. I tried him on the lunge and he found it easy to...

Be very careful this is not a response to pain from the weight of the rider. I have a horse that was the same and assumed the same as you but it turns out it was back and SI pain

You could try her in a comfy barrel. I have to say though that in my (albeit not extensive) experience I've found that horse that are unhappy in the contact have a reason for being unhappy so just make sure you don't limit yourself to it being a bit problem if that makes sense 😊

So sorry to hear your sad update. I know it will be of no consolation just now but you should be proud of yourself for listening to your horse and ensuring he didn't keep suffering x

Thank you so much for this, yes I couldn't quite get my head around the power thing- electrics are not my thing at all so I got completely stumped!

Hoping someone might be able to help me figure these pads out as I am getting a. It confused with Googling. I have been reading up on red light therapy and was hoping to buy a pad to use on my horse but I know I need certain frequencies for it to work on the horse. I have been reading old...

Is he close in his action behind at all? It might be worth having a full lack of performance/lameness work up done at the vet as there might be something else causing the locking stifle that needs treated before locking stifle will improve. Maybe SI or spinal not quite right

Can owner look for new loaner while still with your friend? Might be an idea just to get ball rolling and stop them dragging their feet. Loads of people are looking for loans so if the horse is still fit and healthy it will find a new home quickly I am sure

I have 2 teenagers so I can understand your frustration when you just want to have some fun but everything seems hard- keep going though you will get there with the proper support. I am only going by your description of your riding ability here but if you can find an instructor that cab come to...

So, how do I send videos? 🤔

Thanks all, will start messaging now :)
