    R.I.P. My wee minty

    Really sorry to hear about Minty. I know he meant the world to you and Kyle - take pride in the loving home you both surrounded him with. You strived at all times to give him the best and I am sure Minty knew this. One of the hardest aspects of horse ownership is knowing the ‘time’, one thing...

    Making orange-stained feathers white again. HOW!??!?

    Not sure this would work but have you tried a product called 'equine blue'? If you want i could provide you with some to see if its any use before pruchasing as i can imagine how annoying it can be to get it and it not work or help. Also cowboy magic stain remover helped at all?

    kate bunting anyone bought from her?

    Aye but there’s sadly saying things out of spite which I don’t understand. You rode voltan on a number of occasions and you never complained then were in fact extremely happy to ride him so you can see my confusion to read your opinions now and feel they lie with your dislike for me rather then...

    kate bunting anyone bought from her?

    I presume out of those 6 niknkia u refer to in two threads will include my own. Don’t class it wise to bad mouth others peoples horses in public and class them as unsuitable and not sound in body or mind and think its a way round by not naming them. Word of mouth gets back and sadly took someone...

    [ QUOTE ] Nookster - can I ask why you changed from the thorowgoods? I'm assuming it was more personal preference than a problem with the Thorowgood? [/ QUOTE ] I couldn’t get a high wither T6 GP in brown. I didn’t like riding in the jump saddle for flat work even tho it was a good fit and...

    Lightweight trailers?

    I thought the weight to take into consideration is what the trailer can hold as a maximum? Not what its unladen weight and the horses weight calculates to when deciding on a car.

    OMG. The weather. The mud. Will it ever stop raining?

    Not sure most fields would stand up to the massive amount of rain we have had of late. I sometimes feel by restricting them you can create more mess and they are more hyped when they do get out. We have quite a good bit of land to play with so although our current section is rather a mess at the...
