I am so very sorry to hear your sad news. I too remember your posts and loved reading them. I haven't been looking on h&h for a few years (my beloved fred was put to sleep about four winters ago and I've not been able to post much since) but I do remember your posts and followed your journey...

Thank you very much everyone. Much appreciated. Always good advice in here! thank you.

Hi all, I've just bought a new horse and know nothing about his worming history (dealer didn't know). Which wormer would you give please? Normally I'd give a pramox in november once its gone cold, but yard owner is insisting he is wormed on arrival, so no time to do egg counts to target...

Hi, yes, googled their number. About three adverts come up, none with their surname though. Have spoken to the seller just a while ago, but forgot to ask their surname! They are emailing me a video hopefully, so when I speak with them agaoin, I will get more details etc. I hate buying.

I've spotted a horse for sale with this seller. Could you pm please if you know this person? thank you.

Thanks everyone. I have ordered the rope, with the joiner metal bits, which will break if put under pressure in an emergency. thank you.

Hi all, Sorry I haven't posted for ages. I sort of lost enthusiasm since I had my beloved Fred put to sleep last October. Anyway, thinking about brighter things, I've moved house and am putting up new fencing. I've had poles driven into the ground ready for electric fencing to be...
