Mine loves long reining. The cross country training field is just a toy shop of stuff to do with ups, downs, steps, ditches and the water.

It isn't a defeat. Defeat would be injury through not listening to the horse and continuing without adapting to the conditions. My friend needs hoofboots for her horse and if you think you are struggling with fit, please feel free to see what you can find for a Clydesdale with feet 21cm across.

Thank you

Because he was the one communicating the orders in the chaos of the battlefield.

Not just big dogs... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxwvkenr9yro

Mine regularly goes out with a stripe of dirt over his bum which I failed to reach while grooming.

Big horses need big everything; big stables, big tack, big rugs, big haynets, big shoes etc. Everything can be awkward and difficult. I would absolutely love to move my draft to another yard but there's nowhere else close by that combines all year round turnout, good hacking with massive stables...

Not a clue what is going on but isn't it tradition that a new horse on the forum doesn't exist until it had a picture shared. What do we do in this situation? Do we go the *insert name of your least favourite delivery service* approach and ask for a picture of no horse??

I thought I'd resurrect this thread with the lantern festivals planned to go ahead this summer in both London and Birmingham. Does anyone know if there are any new petitions where we can complain. Maybe those more local to them can share any campaigns that we can support with.

Yes, I felt the same so switched to WHW.

That was the word I was struggling to remember!!

Can't you just stand the barrel up, (after rolling it to the trough) put a hose in then suck the other end of the hose and pop it in the trough?

Blister plasters. Do you have any heel raisers with the boots you can wear for a month or so while they soften and drop?

Fingers crossed it isn't as serious as you suspect. As for the previous owner, he really shouldn't be your problem so ignore for now, msg him when you feel able to and not before.

So sorry. Has the diagnosis been confirmed? I'm confused about the insurance arrangements. Surely all you'd have to pay up front is your excess and the rest is for the vet to claim from the insurance.
