I had one with them and same issues as most of the others have mentioned. Headshy and needed the bridle unbuckling. When I got him he was very difficult with it, that was partly a result of his last home though who 'helpfully' sent me a video of how to get his bridle on which involved 2 men...

I highly recommend Ashes With Art. I've had two of their plain bands now with hair inside. Customer service is great and the jewelry is really beautiful. Both have the names engraved on the the inside of the ring. www.asheswithart.co.uk

Ashes with Art did both mine and I love their work.

If you can't bring yourself to call and have a good relationship with your vet then you can always text them. That's what I did with mine, I knew if I called I would break down and not be able to get the words out but it was time so I sent a very long text spiel to my personal vet. She was so...

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the replies 😊 I'm looking for a boy, ideally more traditional type. Will take all the comments under advisement ☺️

Can anyone recommend a good Pembroke Corgi Breeder, preferably in the South? Not looking for show quality, just a nice tempered dog, bred responsibly. We're in no hurry as won't be looking to buy until mid next year but I'd like to be prepared and get our names on a waiting list if required.

We've been having quite a lot of allergy issues with my 6 month old Bernese puppy, which I realise is fairly common for the breed. Thus far we've established a likely chicken allergy but today we ended up in the emergency vets for some sort of extreme environmental allergy on our walk and I'm...

Highly recommend Ashes with Art, they're not cheap but the quality is top notch and their customer service is amazing

It's hard to know without knowing your ability and end goals but maybe if you're already comfortable jumping on fun rides, you could consider looking for a loan horse as a first step towards ownership?

Mine is like this and no amount of desensitisation has ever worked. I use a monocrown bridle with buckle browband so I don't have to fully dismantle. Undo noseband and bit, un-pop browband. Then put round ears, reattach browband and then put bit in mouth and do up bridle. I've been doing it so...

Develop a thick skin. Head down, be polite, don't get dragged in, it's easy to fall foul of one seemingly friendly livery who then spreads anything you say all over the yard. A generally friendly yet aloof demeanour seems to do the trick at most places. You might get called stand-offish...

This ones a bit contrary, he's a trotter and I don't know what he's done in the past. Lunges like a dream and clearly been worked in side reins or simular at some point as he has a tendency to curl into a ball. Although he's an experienced driving horse he flips out on the road in hand, thinking...

Sorry to jump on your post but I'm having a similar problem with rebacking a driving horse. He goes beautifully off the voice when lunged and driven but ridden seems to just plant. It's like he doesn't know how to start moving with a rider on top. He will walk around with a leader or just...

I got stuck trying to dismount once. It was cold so my feet were numb and I was riding a friends huge shire. I was wimping out about the drop hurting my feet so I tried to just slide down his side slowly. I got stuck. More specifically, my boobs got stuck on the saddle. I was just hanging...

A few of the liveries where I work use them. They are by far my favourite liveries, after hauling what feels like hundreds of gigantic tubs of water single handedly across the yard every day they are a blessed relief. And I have never spilt water out of one
