Just a view from a different persepective :) I am comp groom recently looking for a F/T position (tried the whole multiple P/T thing - not really financially viable). I have worked with horses for many years and except that long hours, low pay is part of the job -its a lifestyle and one that...

Another vote for buying horse with scaring - i bought a 4yr old with a scar to his hind fetlock and extends down into his hoof making shoeing a little difficult (odd size feet and difficultly placing nails at first) but its all cosmetic and its mainly other folk that have a problem with it...

ditto, you could just imagine them bouncing around and nipping each others faces. I bet they are three proper cheeky chaps :rolleyes::D Just what they deserve after their loyality:)

ditto what SophieBailey I have mine in my field shelter they are fab; thick, durable and warm. Like it has been said, the only downside is they do absorb water/urine but do not turn 'squeltchy' just need washing off every few months :) It would be shame to turn down a freebie :D :D

thank you for all the helpful suggestions:) I will persevere with it for another day, may try mixing some cider vinger and then ring vets for some danilon as an alternative if no joy.

thank you for all the replies. i am not sure how successful syringing the bute in a solution would be as worming him is already a bit of a battle. the vet has issued me with sachets of bute, so cant really use an alternative either. Any other suggestions would be gratefully recieved:)

Long and short of the story one of my horses has to be on bute for 2 weeks am and pm, however little problem he doesnt like the taste - cue feed bucket going flying across the stable :mad: :rolleyes: So any suggestions how to mask the taste? i did think apple juice but not sure he is big fan...

I have the ones from the first link and LOVE them!:D They are on their second winter and still look healthly, despite being unloved :o:p. They put up with me wearing them every day for work, my own horses and when i am on the farm. (so in theory on my feet from 6am until 7pm except for riding...

YAY!! thank you, this has just made my day:) I was really worried that i wouldnt be allowed and would have to ride my other horse for the teams qualifer (no offence to him but he is about as useful for dressage as chocolate teapot) :o :rolleyes:

ok so i am a little confused for the vaccination section of the BRC rules. so if anyone could explain it to me in simple terms i would be very grateful! my horse should have his vaccs at the start of october but i missed it so restarted: vacc1: end of October vacc2: month later Vacc3: is...

Hi everyone, I am a final year degree student at Warwickshire College (and long-time lurker on the forum, I prefer to read than post :)). As part of my degree I have to complete an undergraduate dissertation on: 'A survey of body condition scores within the UK horse population and its...

i bought the T6 for my youngster with it being a interchangable gullet. I found it very comfy and he seemed to be happy with it :) Although i dont use it anymore i decided to keep him (long story :rolleyes: :p) so bought him a proper leather saddle. sorry to hijack the thread but how much are...
