The new addition to our house. She is an 8 week old Staffordshire bull terrier and is a little gem. She already lets you know when she needs to go out to the toilet and loves sleeping in her crate (only for when we are at work). She has been brought up with children and dogs (her breeder also...

My dads friend made me one out of steps from a caravan, just put something on the legs so its sturdy and they are great :)

A friend brought a pony for her daughter, all was fine for a couple of months then in February he started nodding in trot. Put him on box rest as thought he might of pulled something and he was ok for a bit but then started nodding again. They called the vet and they said to put him on bute...

Thanks. She seems to have a good attention span so far. She'll be out with other horses to so that may help, though she doesn't seem fussed whether she's on her own. I'm hoping to get her broken to drive before she is broken to ride. She was a late baby being born in July so wasn't going to...

Mine loves doing things and will quite often entertain herself if on the yard but putting her leg up on things and playing with things that are near her. I've just brought her a gym ball so going to get that blown up the weekend and see what she thinks of it :)

Thanks all The hack to the stream is about a 2.6 mile trip each way so was worried its be a bit too far though there would be breaks in between Shes extremely quiet for her age and doesn't bat an eyelid at anything. She isn't bitted as such though i have put a bridle on her, shea still...

I take my staffie to the boxing day meet every year, she's kept on a lead at all times but the hunting dogs don't bother with the dogs that are there. I think its good socialisation for 'domestic' dogs

Just wondering how far you walk your youngsters out? I have a rising 2 year old, shes been led out on main roads, fields, country lanes etc and I've took her out alone, in company and off another horse, she's also had the other horses go off and leave her in walk trot and canter which she is...

I have a cremello welsh cross. I do put a fly mask on her in the Summer and she also has sun cream (factor 50) applied to her nose when she's out in the sun. I try and get her a fly mask with the nose part to if I can. With regards to cleaning I use cheap washing up liquid (the blue one) and...

My friends daughters pony has been on and off lame for a couple of months now, the vets are coming today to do x-rays - hoping theres no bad news. They came out to assess him a few weeks ago and thought it might be arthritis, then came back last Friday to do nerve blocks. They then...

Mine had fast fibre over last winter when she was a yearling and the same again this winter, she's out on good grazing and unrugged and has come out of winter again this year looking just right.

I'm taking my filly to some shows this Summer and was just wondering whether she should be in an inhand bridle with a rubber inhand bit? I took her to a show in March and showed her in my Welshies plaited halter She will be 2 in June and is a traditional cob

What are the best supplements for arthritis? My friends daughters pony has been seen by the vet and they are pretty sure he has arthritis, but will also be nerve blocking him. He is currently on 1 sachet of Danilon twice a day but they have said a supplement may help. We have been...
