Been offered a fantastic opportunity to work abroad on a 2 year contact. Had an extremely terrible year so I'm keen to get some space and try a new challenge but I don't know what to do with my horse. Ideally I'd like his part loaner to take him on but she's at uni so has commitments and time...

Just wondering as my youngster is really attached to my old mare and Im concerned about how he is going to react after she is gone.... what do people do when their horses companions are put to sleep, is it best to leave them out - what about stabling...? Any info would be great... thanks xx

My old pony is still ill - some of you may remember last week I called out the vet because my old mare of 18 yrs was flat out, weezy and lame.... the vet believed at first she had colic but believed in fact she may have bronchitus and a virus, possibly splint in her hind leg which was causing...

im pretty lucky and dont hit roads...I ride on 600 acres of farmland which my horse for some reason finds difficult....he seems to enjoy road work!! Open spaces drive him nuts...although its always good fun to have a good gallop to calm him down a little....

Not too sure what peoples views are on here about this but I took mine out with me today and I found it did nothing but give me confidence and relaxed me... my youngster can be difficult and has become nappy when crossing a wide open field....he rears slightly at times and I do feel my heart...

lots and lots of luck - fingers and toes crossed for you....

Many thanks to everyone who messaged me yesterday - I was down at the crack of dawn to check on her and she was looking great....walking better, not hunched up and calling to me on arrival..... she even ran off when she saw I had the injection....poor thing.....it took me three attempts to even...
