    She's skinned herself! Best way to encourage hair re-growth?

    I can highly recommend Bio Oil or Manuka Honey having a black mare who is more than a tad clumsy I've discovered manuka honey is my best friend for healing and bio oil my best friend for black hair re growth :)

    behavioural issues. When to call it a day?

    I don't have any real suggestions I'm afraid but just wanted to add onto the KS theories. My old boy was diagnosed with KS which he had long before i bought him. He was the kindest most gentlest boy you could wish to meet, he never exploded, he could work through and round, he could jump, he...

    Thinking WAAAAYY into the future but stallion suggestions?

    The fact the F line seem to you to produce stockier offspring actually appeals as I would like to add a bit more substance but keeping the refinement if that makes sense? Furstenball is in fact one I really like and will certainly be watching closely to see what he produces in the future and you...

    Thinking WAAAAYY into the future but stallion suggestions?

    although having just looked again at his pedigree I think they are probably too closely related with Rosenkavalier in both their 3rd Gen. His son however For Romance again has Donnerhall on the dam line and looks a very nice sort as does Diamond Hit. Any thoughts?

    Thinking WAAAAYY into the future but stallion suggestions?

    Thankyou both for your compliments hehe! Spring Feather just out of interest what is it about the F lines you don't like? She herself is certainly brave just a tad stubborn :p and what would you think to using an F line stallion with a D line dam? such as Furst Romancier?

    Thinking WAAAAYY into the future but stallion suggestions?

    I have a 7yr old 17hh Oldenburg mare who is bred very well, pink papered and branded. She is Rubinero x Rubinstein xx Landgraf and depending on her successes in the future I would consider breeding from her. I'm just thinking to the future and looking to see what some of the expert eyes on here...
