Do you really need to be placed? Surely you are doing it to improve on your own scores, when you think you have improved enough at intro, move yourself up a level to Prelim and avoid those people.

I really don't understand why anyone would want a Rottweiler without a 'handle':D As for ear cropping, it's a barbaric practice. Petition signed.

I used a NS Universal with a curb strap and 2 reins, as you say the bit can rotate without the strap, I used to have it adjusted quite loosely.

I would suspect lice. The best treatment I have ever found was Cooper's Fly Repellent Plus but I'm not sure if it is still available

That's excellent! Definitely the right thing to do and pony knows it too:).

Ferrets and terriers, the rats won't return while there is still a smell of ferret lingering

If someone had been photo'd sitting on a dead person, there would very likely been all sorts of unsavoury, sexual connotations, so that isn't comparable. If it had been a rare species that had died of natural causes, as this horse did, I would have thought pretty much the same as I do about...

I think this is exactly what everyone should do. I really wish people would not post speculating what figures in the public eye, for any reason, would do in various circumstances, when they/we can't possibly know. Quite apart from anything else it weakens the argument for anyone to respect...

Ulcers very often happen as a result of pain caused by something else.

I would want the vet, rather than a physio to have a look at her.

He's a Labrador, the vast majority of them 'wolf' their food down. Ours savour a treat but barely seem to taste their meals (unless, of course, they decide they don't like it). Of course dogs don't chew their food like we do, they would tear it off the bone and swallow, if they were in the...
