    Foreign body in horses knee - drawing agents?

    She doesn't load, I am intending to get this sorted but it has been sidetracked by having a baby. I would like her to have some nice outings before loading to go to the vet 🙈

    Foreign body in horses knee - drawing agents?

    My mare has basically a giant splinter in her knee (confirmed by vet via xray and ultrasound, currently no interference with knee joint or tendons/ligaments, and no lameness). This has been brewing an abscess then popping then brewing again since before Christmas. The vet would like her to...

    A 'what would you do' question

    Right my head feels a bit better about leaving her til I've popped then go from there depending on what i feel like i can do/send her away then. I've been torturing myself about hindering what she could be doing this year but she doesn't care does she 😂 My partner can run her in some shows for...

    A 'what would you do' question

    I should have mentioned, really don't want to sell her and currently that's not on the table at all. I can see why it would be a sensible option like.

    A 'what would you do' question

    I have a rising 5yo (5 in april) that I have just started sitting on, walking round etc and have planned to slowly bring on now over summer, start hacking etc. She's been a slow burner for several reasons but we're getting there following lots of strength and conditioning ground work. My problem...

    Mare inciting gelding to mount her

    Should have put in the original post, he's not, his owner had him since gelding so knows it was full and successful. He shows zero rig behaviour aside from when she starts. He's in with other mares who he's got no interest in and never has, he's generally a quiet, kind boy. The mare is the...

    Mare inciting gelding to mount her

    As per title ? hussy of a mare. Gelding is not interested really but she mithers and mithers til he gets on her. She has been separated all summer due to this but could do now with her going back in with the herd for winter grazing. Tried reintegration and she's straight back to mithering him...

    Could I sell? Should I sell? Long one sorry!

    This could have described a cob I had but she didn't have the PSD issues. She hated schooling, only interested in ambling round the country side. Was 4 horses stuck together, terrible conformation. She was the kindest, sweetest mare though. Sold her as what she was/is, she's been with the fella...

    Mens country boots

    My partner has recently started riding and is always at the farm with me in his doc martens, slowly ruining them ? So I would like him to get some country boots that are waterproof, hard wearing, that he can ride and do yard work in (bonus being if he gets some, I get new ones too ?). I like...

    Leigh animal rescue

    These are local to me, they once squatted on church grounds and had to be taken to court to get them gone. They were also selling pretty bog standard, sweet ponies for thousands and thousands under the guise of charity very recently.

    Field being weed sprayed - how long to keep them off?

    I'm trying to find out what he's going to use, it isn't spot spraying he will just spray it all. Weeds are mainly dock, thistle and common fleabane which is the main issue. As a side note, anyone know if the common fleabane is poisonous to horses? We are led to believe not and they don't touch...

    Field being weed sprayed - how long to keep them off?

    As per title really, don't know what it is being sprayed with apart from that it is weed spray, farmer has said he is doing it Friday. We don't get a say. We have some living out with no where to go, so trying to sort something but don't know how long they need to be off for, farmers view is...

    Gracie Spinks - RIP

    RIP Gracie, how awful. I had (have? It's been a while since an incident (police were very involved)) a stalker and one of my biggest fears was being at the yard early morning on my own, when it was several hours between me being down and someone else turning up. This really strikes a chord...
