This all makes interesting reading, as I'm waiting for two 2 year olds to arrive, both of whom have undescended testicles (1 each). I'm taking these for an animal sanctuary who have just had their farm re-possessed by the bank, so are desparate to rehome the animals. They've been given a...

Below is the link from this weeks feeding, along with some photos. Some of the owners have been given simple things such as saddle cloths, fly fringes etc, to improve the horses lives. Feeding continues but more needs to be done. There's an on line auction on Facebook to raise money too, so...

Brooke have stopped offering food at the moment to the horses in Egypt. The Egypt Society for the Mercy of Animals (ESMA) are feeding every day and are asking for donations to help. I agree, this hasn't happened overnight but I was so moved by the images I've donated as much as I can afford...

My horses have always been barefoot as I think it's better for them and as native breeds they have good feet. Recently I've found a new route to ride but to get there its a lot of road work, not something I usually do. Also there's several stoney tracks to negotiate too. One of my cobs has...

Oh, I had one of those recently. The funny thing was, my horse was listed as 'for loan to stay on present yard' and as needing a lot of work so I was suggesting her as a 'project' for someone. Then I got this really dodgy email from someone saying they wanted to buy her and ship her to the...

I would NEVER set hoof on the road with out being fully decked out in Hi vis and that means me AND my horse so that if I fall off at least he'll be galloping down the road and be seen! Fingers crossed that doesn't happen :eek: I know someone who had trouble with her insurance company because...
