Jn 11 of m65. £5.50 a bale.

They are beautiful! There is one round our way and I'm very taken with.

I have only had mine at home for 8 months and it makes it so much easier. Love seeing her little face looking over her stable door.

Bamford's at Midge Hall is as cheap as anywhere.

I can't see why you wouldn't let her know. Yes, she'll surely be sad he is no more but that is better than worrying for years to come that he may be in a bad home.

I have a fence pacer, the only thing that has worked is for her to have access to the stable.....only took 7 years of ownership to achieve this!

A 3 year old I bought ended up having kissing spine. She had scintigraphy to identify hock/fetlock pain and nothing showed up on her spine. I asked the vet to xray her spine, just for completness really. Nobody was more surprised than the vet when ks showed up. She showed absolutely no sign...

What problem is he going to be working with?

Incredibly fool hardy, how could she live with herself if the unspeakable happened :(? In an equally stupid move, I see a woman out on her horse with her dog attached by a long lead to her d ring.

This is something I have thought of and would be possible but not easily done but I think it might be the way forward. A field shelter has made no difference in the past. She may not be distressed but even the fittest horse trogging up and down in 20℃ heat is going to sweat. I don't...

Call me soft but I can't stand and watch a horse dripping in sweat and running the fence for hour after hour. I suspect she would become severely dehydrated which in turn could lead to colic or worse :(

I've had this horse 8 years and she has not learnt to like turnout in that time. The difference now is that I have her at home and I am not beholden to livery yard rules. So, what does she do? Run the fence. This can be after 10 mins or a number of hours. Once she's started, she won't stop...

Stupid is as stupid does!

Lasts my 14.3 3-4 weeks and costs £35.

Have you tried Preston Horse Transport, they are very reasonable.
