No not sweet itch, just the flies round his head annoy him. Have tried the Equilibrium riding fly net but it interferes with what he sees and makes him spooky. When its windy or cold he is fine.

You could advertise on Facebook there are a few different pages like Horsey Stuff For Sale In Edinburgh and Lothians, Livery Yards Are Us, just have a search. I quite often see people asking for stables/fields that are not part of a livery yard as such.

Phew! Having been on a yard that got infected with strangles a few years ago, I know how easily the virus is spread. I tend to be a bit OTT when its mentioned :rolleyes:

Am I reading this right? You actually went to and rode a horse at a riding school that is in quarantine for Strangles?

Personally I think that the seizure of Humphrey was the last straw, I think that the owner has at last got his just desserts. He is known to a lot of people and not many have a good word to say about him. Its a long process but I will post when I hear the result.

I know I just hope that PF doesn't throw case out and Humphrey goes back to owner. Humph so deserves a peaceful and loving new home.

The jungle drums have slowed down a bit, as soon as I hear any news I will post here. Lets just hope that Humphrey stays safe and finds a new loving home.

Well said! Couldn't agree more, if anyone posts on their FB page a comment that doesn't agree with them, or asks a searching question, then it is either ridiculed or deleted. Half the people on there don't even know the people in question, so how can they possibly form an opinion. I know the...

I have just started using Night & Day monthly disposables. They are SO much more comfortable than my other monthly disposables. And you can sleep in them, brilliant! I haven't had the courage yet to sleep a whole night in them, but have had a couple of hours sleep and after a few blinks they...

I have seen Humphrey looking a lot better than he did on the day of the Ride, in my humble opinion he wasn't in the right condition to cope with the Ride. And just to re-iterate, he WAS hacked to the Ride. I don't care what anyone says on HH facebook page, whoever says he was trailered to the...

As far as I know Humphrey is looked after by the girl in the video, its the owner who has been reported to Procurator Fiscal.

It will rumble on for a while, the law is a long process! But I am keeping my beady eyes on them LOL. Most of the people on the FB page don't even know those involved so how can they form an opinion on what has gone on. And one person in particular doesn't like anyone who dares to disagree.

Yesterday press release from SSPCA "A 36-year-old man from West Lothian will be reported to the procurator fiscal for causing unnecessary suffering to a horse following a Scottish SPCA investigation and independent veterinary advice. The horse was removed from premises in East Calder in May...

I had a lesson from Karen Carson and thought she was really good. I was very very nervous, as she came across as a bit "tough". I am a very mature occasional rider, but she sorted my position out and wasn't making me do things that I wasn't capable of doing. She did say that she would shout at...

SSPCA wouldn't go to the lengths of time and cost of passing report to Procurator Fiscal if they were not confident of getting a result. I also suspect that this has been going on for some time and that the Common Ride incident was the last straw. I could be wrong of course .....
