    Stabled horses and the Animal Welfare Act...your thoughts??

    If I turned out for even an hour over winter regardless of weather, I would have a horse that would be lame in all legs from nasty mud fever and would probably would have lymphangitis a few times over winter. Just because it's more natural doesn't mean it's the right thing to do for every...

    Does your horse live in 24/7 in winter??

    My mare lives in during the winter, she hates being out in the mud. She makes it quite clear when she wants to start living in by refusing to walk towards her paddock and trying to ****** off back to her stable. She goes on the walker for an hour in the morning and for an hour in the evening...

    CFS/ME and owning horses!

    I have ME and have kept my horses on DIY for 9 years up until this year. I now only own one horse due to loosing a couple this year and with my declining health and only one to pay for livery I have had my mare put on part livery, which is a big help. I now just see to her 2 days a week and...

    Letter to first address on passport

I kept her updated throughout the short 9 years that I owned him and sadly a week ago I had to send the dreaded letter of him passing away. Shes very upset...

    ***Daughter and Harley - an update***

    I have followed your updates since the first one and haven't actually commented before, but has it really been 4 years?! Your daughter looks every grown up now. She used to look small on Dolly! Looking fantastic as always.

    Meat colts - the true cost of rescuing them (a diary)

    What a luck chap! I have done this minus the scamming, colt had mites, ring worm and a severe worm burden when I had him though he was believed 4 months old when I rescued him. In total he cost me just over £1000 to get right not including castration. That was all treatments for ringworm, worms...

    My 3.5 year old could be 2.5yrs!

    I have no idea, I don't think he's ever had his teeth done either. Booked him in for next week so will go from there.

    My 3.5 year old could be 2.5yrs!

    It's unknown who gelded him, the place was a bit of a mess and his passport didn't even match the microchip when it was checked. My vets couldn't even find a micro-chip so he had to be re micro- chipped and his passport re-issued. The person I bought off is a friend and hs been really helpful...

    My 3.5 year old could be 2.5yrs!

    I recently purchased a 3.5 year old cob gelding. He's been broken and has been hacking out in company with me etc. Today I got a message from someone saying that he's only 2.5yrs old. Story goes he was born at a place near me that had a lot of unwanted horses, a lot of mares would be...

    Is she look 'in foal' to you?

    Ok so I bought a 17 month old filly at the beginning of October and she was fine weight wise up to date with worming etc. Roll on 6 weeks later and she has gotten a swollen belly. The vet suggested weighing her infront and behind and see how much bigger/smaller she is getting at both ends of...
