I think he is NTR but Groomsbridge May I http://www.sporthorse-data.com/d?z=j9_lZ5&d=groomsbridge+may+i&x=26&y=8

What type of mare is she? Does she have access to shelter? Are there other horses in the field with her? Natives with shelter you can get away with, but it is not advisable for TB's & their crosses if there is a risk of rain. Foals chill very quickly from lying on wet cold ground. The...

- STAPLEFORD MILL FARM STUD, only in Soulbury so not far to travel to Addington then

It is far overdue now, these gradings need to be far more open. There should be someone commentating after each horse is bought forward for inspection & then again after the loose jumping. Mare owners are paying to use these stallions I do not see what the secret of their scores accomplishes.

Agree with all these valid points - Cut back on breeding. By paying twice his meat value you have given the meatman extra money to now purchase even more. These people provide a service & not all of them ship on the hoof, they provide for zoos, etc so the animals are processed in the UK. I...

Remembering to change diagonals on hacks is a common problem. I find the easiest way is if you have telegraph poles running along the side of the road is to change at every one. As for the school, easiest is what you are doing sitting for 2.

Don't rule out any breeds especially a TB as they need to be judged as individuals. There are so many websites selling horses, can not believe that you are struggling. Avoid the sales, unless you can take an experienced person with you, for starters you can not have a decent trial. Most do...

Whether you were there or not, most transporters dont take full payment up front only a deposit, & if there is enough notice that is often returnable less admin charge. How many miles were they charging you for? You can take the dealer to small claims, but I would be checking the the...

Well you only had to be at High Street, Lake District at Easter time about 16/17yrs ago, it was littered with dead lambs after the snow that year

When I was in NSW I picked up Horse Deals & judging by the amount of Arabs for sale I would not have thought you needed to buy anything that had issues. There are that many being bred that I would carry on looking, it's not as if you are in a hurry?

So are you saying his owners gave him a chance as a gelding & he was still too dangerous to handle?

As she is not the owner her patience is irrelevant. There is a difference between turn-out on steep hills & restricted which does not necessary mean 1hr turn-out. Not everyone though has access to a small area other then the stable. Every now & again one of these would be born to one of the...

Snap about the garlic & nettles, have seen that juice used years ago. What I do not understand is if it works how comes no one has bottled it & made a mint from it?? Hope both mares stay well & have safe foalings.
