    Why can’t I just do stuff with my horse? Is there a good calmer to help?

    Given the opening post and her post history, what advice did OP expect? For someone to suggest some magic potion and agree that it's a sensible idea to be suddenly taking a stressed out, recently weaned, panicking (op's words) mare with attachment issues and travelling her multiple hours off to...

    Riding jumpsuits

    Man I can't even stand being squished into a top-half base layer, being squeezed into an entire baselayer suit? Euurggh

    Hacking with difficult horse

    What investigations have the vets carried out? There's a difference between 'the vets been, poked and prodded a few places' and 'The vet has been, they've scoped for ulcers, performed and thorough lameness investigation, taken xrays.' For my two penneth is worth, I struggle with anxiety. If...

    Flipped the coin and got lucky. I'm almost (almost) annoyed it went as well as it did, as no doubt this will just bolster you to continue as you are and not step back and re-evaluate your expectations of your mares needs and emotions. But hey, as long as you didn't waste your money!

    Why can’t I just do stuff with my horse? Is there a good calmer to help?

    It definitely is difficult! I got my mare backed and riding away last year, we had literally just got to the point where our rides were enjoyable and stressfree, and then my body crapped out on me. I've spent a lot of time getting upset and frustrated on all we could have been doing and...

    Have you taken out in the box to any quiet local stuff before? You may just be expecting a bit too much a bit too soon to suddenly go an hour away to a shindig and back again, especially with the issues you've been having with her. If she's not ready for this, you could very well blow her brains...

    Dead horse at Aintree today

    Nice bit of what-about-ism you got there.

    Yeah I was a bit shocked to see she actually wants even more, as if him needing more medical care than just £300 worth justifies it! The lack of shame! I'll admit I ended up blocking her because just seeing her post was getting me indignant for poor Dave. Although interesting she mentions about...

    That horse looks like it's moving in italics.

    Lice the final frontier

    I've used deosect in the past for lice but applied using a sponge and very thoroughly soaked through all over to ensure it's penetrated the fur and hair, and particularly any little nooks and crannies lice like to hide away in. Got 'em in one go! Edit: Of course, make sure you dilute correctly...

    Someone called her out, she didn't like it. Accountability? Never heard of her!

    Haha, and there was me thinking being very vague with the details might spare her post some recognition! 🤣 But yeah, FO is exactly on the money there in regards to the full story, I had to hide the post to save my itchy fingers from typing a scathing reply! And not to mention, she had a 3rd...

    Hello and Help Please :) no

    How long ago are we talking? I know a couple people that were in the GSD breeding/showing scene in Devon that I could ask.

    GFM post on a local page, asking for £300 towards her horses medical bills. Mentions in her long winded story that she's have an arena built later this year??
