ah thank you....I've tried there but no room :-(

Hi Everyone, I am in an unfortunate position where I have lost my yard where I have been for over 20 years. My old boy of 25 years knows nothing different and I am reluctant to move him to a livery yard. I would like to find a nice retirement home for him where he can roam around in a herd...

Hi, I am desperate for one if anyone has one for sale still?

We have had his teeth done recently and he had no problems, we don't have a breast girth on him, so thats worth a try, he has always been like this since we brought him, we've had him about 18 months. I don't think it is his personality, as i said he is a lovely old boy in all other ways, but...

i'm definately going to try a few different types of girths, and the massage technique and see how I get on. i haven't had his back x rayed, it is an option but, I think the main cause is the girth, not the weight on his back. I only weigh 9 1/2 stone and he is a 17.3 id x tb! so i'm not heavy...

He does have a 56" girth at the moment with a sheepskin cover and its elasticated. We always girth him very slowly, the girth barely touches him until we're sure he's happy. He is such a lovely old boy and i hate to see him so distressed because he loves to go out for a nice hack and really...

I have tried lunging him, but this seems to make him worse! he throws himself around even more and has already broken two lunge lines!. He is on cortaflex at the moment because he's in his teens, but it's worth trying the super flex, I'll try anything at the moment! Hes definately not lame, he's...

Yes we have one of those!! I'm just glad we are doing the right things, i don't think there is a magic cure, we'll just persevere! hopefully the massaging will help!

We brought a colt and had him gelded at 12 months, he was done in the field, but unfortunately three hours later his intestines fell out of the incision and we lost him. the vet was really shocked and says this rarely happens! But it can happen, if i had to do it again i would have it done at...

we've tried the circle walking bit, but obviously the explosion from the stable has already happened by then. The massage is a really good one which haven't tried before so could work! actually thinking about it, I generally have to groom him before he'll let me put a rug on so that may really...

Can anyone offer me any advice on my cold backed horse? we tack him up, use sheepskin numnahs etc let him stand tacked up for half hour before bringing him out and have a nice loose girth. Yet he still comes out grunting and farting and bronks like a thing possessed!! even before you've got on...

Well if I knew how to upload picutres on here I would put some on!! If anyone is seriously looking or something of this size and can guarantee an excellent home please contact me. He is 17.2hh, a big boy who rides big as well, can be cold backed, depending on the weather!, has no vices, not...

thats the plan, its just knowing where they are!! I know there is someone out there who has lots of time to do him justice!

He looks lovely! I just hope we find someone nice for him, he deserves it!I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and advertise in the paper, But I will not let them all ride,as the previous person suggests, I think I will meet them all and then decide who is more suitable and only let those...

Actually we do have him advertised elsewhere, but the type of people he is attracting are not right for him. He is 17.2hh, 17 years old bay, I believe he has previously evented, dressage is his forte. He has never had any health problems whilst with us. ]
