A yard I worked at had a young section D in on livery, to potentially be brought on and used in the riding school. Except he was a section D, a bit sharp and green as grass, and nobody really had enough time to put into him to bring him on. I absolutely fell in love with him - he was so...

My terrier howls in his sleep occasionally too! And I agree, very unnerving, especially waking up to it in the dead of night! My lurcher growls in her sleep sometimes. No idea what about, possibly dreaming of the terrier after a toy or bone? That’s the only time she lets out à very soft growl...

Bank Farm (Shropshire/Worcs border) used to do adult camp for mixed abilities, bring your own horse or hire one. Not sure if they still do, they definitely do some great experience days though: https://bankfarmequestrian.co.uk/

I think from memory I filled in the forms and sent to my vet, who then sent it across to insurance emporium with all the info from their end. But yeah best to check with the vets.

If you want to get REALLY cross and/or lose the will to live, read the comments on that article. Honestly, I'm beginning to think most people shouldn't actually be allowed to have pets!

My little rescue lurcher (we are her third family in her short life) made me very proud the other morning - we walk on a public footpath past a field that sometimes has loose dogs that like to come and bark at us through the fence. She now anticipates this and wants to go rushing over - and can...

I knew this thread wouldn’t disappoint when I saw the title 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I bought my old boy terrier à lovely cosy bed with a built in blanket (he has to be covered at all times!), thinking it would help him - and me, as he paws pathetically at his blanket and then just stares at me until I wrap him in it! (Manages to wrap himself up fine when I’m not around though...

I’d suspect KS personally. So common in ex racers. What makes me more suspicious is that he goes ok without a rider… the added weight of the rider can make the already-close spinous processes impinge more, causing pain. You’ve done the right thing booking the lameness work up, it’s horrible...

The wonder dust seemed to work for me! Worth a go, I’d say, especially if she’s getting antsy about messing with it now.

I think 15 is a grand old age. Better à week too soon than à day too late. I’m so sorry you’re facing this decision. I absolutely agree with your thoughts rhat you don’t want the end to wind up as an emergency vet visit scenario, which would be so much more traumatic for you all. Hope your...

🤢🤢🤢 One can only hope their dog threw it back up on their carpet when they got home 🤣

I sold my mare last year and - despite missing the routine and daily horsey fix - I’m so glad I did it. Prices of everything shooting up, there always being some compromise on a livery yard, other horsey people being mentalists, never quite knowing whether you can trust your professionals… the...

I really rate Canagan. My fussy one eats it reliably, it’s fine for his sensitive tummy, and it’s the only food my lurcher has been on that ensures she has healthy, non-sloppy poos.

Aw I’m sorry to hear about Eira 🫂
