if you have a parrot I can recommend letting said parrot sit in tree. Parrot vs puppy? Parrot wins every time!! 🤣

I once examined her daughter who thought she should pass for being able to jump 4’6”. Mmmmmm.

😢😢😢. If there is a heaven then they’re there now. Thank you Uti and Blueberry you made me smile and cry all at the same time. Rest easy.

I know someone who died from brucellosis (the cattle kind admittedly) and it was not pleasant Any dog coming into this country should be tested. But it may already be too late…..

The whole thing about the change of colour was this: horses can’t see orange. So he wouldn’t have seen the top when it was orange. They can see white hence the change. Do I can’t believe it’s the hurdles Out there thought I had earlier (don’t pile on!! It was a stray random ‘could it be’?) I...

Well they need to retire him. Find a different career. He’s lost his confidence beyond any return. Such a shame. But he owes them nothing.

Not seen it. Did he fall at the first?!

It all depends on how much he’s been mentally scarred by the whole falling thing last year doesn’t it? Nicky Henderson is very good at putting a horse back together but sometimes that isn’t enough. I hope if it all goes tits up nico pulls him up or they retire him. He owes them nothing All...

Sorry. I should have been clearer. Ban it all except bloodhound clean boot hunts who have never chased an animal. No ‘trail’ hunting, but really we’re hunting foxes. 😡😡

Sorry. Haven’t had time to read all recent posts. We’ve all seen the video of south Durham handyman hitting his horse around the head with his hunting whip?! 😡😡😡😡 It’s on Bluesky. Ban it. Ban it now!

Agreed but the cost would be prohibitive I suspect. Cost is everything these days it seems.

There’s one sign in Northumberland on my he dual carriageway A1 that just says ‘horses crossing’. There aren’t traffic lights or anything and the speed the traffic goes I wouldn’t want to do it!!

Please don’t take this the wrong way but how much riding experience do you have? A just backed and ridden away 5 year old is a completely different kettle of fish than a riding school horse or even your last owned horse, which I assume was older and more experienced. I suspect he’s panicking a...

mmm. Clay is horrible stuff. I'd think about making a winter turnout area if you can afford it. Properly drained then membrane hardcore and compacted stone dust. That'll do you for many winters to come. Or just use your school and try not to fret about it? If you use any of the land without...

mm. They never make them high enough for me to get of either as I seem to be getting shorter by the year!! We used to get a load of old milk crates and attach them together. But I doubt you can get milk crates anymore (showing my age much!) Maybe ask a local joiner to make one for you? Or find...
