My old horse had one banded on her stomach, it was initially about the size of a large grape. The whole area swelled dreadfully at first, she was obviously quite painful with it. It went pretty manky, appeared to blister and hung around for a good 3 to 4 weeks. Then one day I looked, and it was...

Ah thank you :)

I have it in my head that being a member of the BHS entitles you to free public liability insurance, is that right? Can anyone else shed some light on this as my brain is a bit fudgey today! TIA

I have known a Kevin and a Gladys - both awesome names! My first horse was called Jason - I hated it!!! (The name not the horse)

I would like to show my youngster in hand next Spring, but I was planning on him living out without a rug on over winter as much as possible. Will this mean that he will take longer to moult and potentially mean that his coat looks worse than others who are being rugged all winter? In my mind...

The main things that drive me nuts are people making spelling mistakes in adverts when they are trying come across as someone with soooo much knowledge. A few examples... Skrewbold in colour; Its bloody SKEWBALD! Kimberwick bits; no. It's a kimblewick Bridal; its not getting married, it's a...

Ah, she has grown into herself so well, and such lovely dapples! You must be very proud. :) Cannot wait to see how my little one turns out one day...

Hi all My boy arrives in the next week or so from the breeder and will be going to live out with a bunch of other youngsters. The herd of youngsters will be coming from all over the place so, whilst the plan long term is to wormcount, we will be worming everything once it had arrived (mine...

I asked if there is any harm in rugging a weanling, not if I should stick it in a Moses basket and give it a dummy. There is no need to be so curt.

That is interesting that you say that if they don't grow their own coat the first year, then essentially they will never learn to. Is it as cut and dry as that? Is there any proven evidence for this, or is it just hearsay? I'm not squabbling, and appreciate you taking the time to respond...

I have been looking online at how people winter their weanling horses and most people seem to be of the opinion that regardless of whether they are in or out or with natural or man-made shelters, they should always be without a rug. The explanation for this is that they won't grow as much of...

Thank you for your reply. I am going to be sending him to run with a load of youngsters in Wales now! It was all I could find! But thanks again.

Hi I am looking for either another weanling in the Thetford/Bury St Edmunds area who I can put with my weanling, hopefully on a grass livery basis, or anyone who is in a similar situation who may be able to accommodate my little one with theirs. Getting a bit desperate as I have been...
