Looking for flatwork instructors that can come out to my yard in Johnstone. Any recommendations and details would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm based in the west end but will happily travel, within reason. I only know of yards that have websites, and know there must be more than that.

Firstly, i'm sorry for this, as i know its probably the most common question asked here, but I'm DESPERATELY seeking livery for my gelding around Glasgow. He'll be moving through from Edinburgh, and I don't know anyone horsey through this way to help. I don't always have the car so an easy yard...

That would be perfect! can you pm me details of prices etc and a post code? thank you!

I'd travel up to 45 minutes for the perfect yard. do you have anywhere in mind?

Im West end of Glasgow, but happy to travel to other areas for the right yard. i'll have a flick through though. thanks.

I really love my current yard, but unfortunately its quite far out of Glasgow and i'm finding it a real struggle trying to juggle everything. I've decided that the time has come that i find something suitable closer to home. So can anyone recommend me any yards in and around Glasgow? Im pretty...

Why dont you calmly speak to a few of the other liveries in passing and explain the situation with her being bolshy around food, and prefer her not to be given treats. Im sure they'll understand and the message will get round. its not that uncommon. You have to make people aware of how you deal...

Im sorry to hear that. I guess you're right, they are completely unpredictable. Everyone has a different story to tell on their horse and melanoma. Fingers crossed for us all that ours isn't an awful one.

I think it may be possible to do a biopsy on a lump, but ive never enquired. My horse has a melanoma on his eyelid. Hes had it for many years, its never changed shape and he has never had any others. Hes 15 now. Someone else at my yard had a grey that had melanoma, she was 30 when they put her...

Mane and tail spray, riser pad, thermal socks.

Thanks, i'll check out Equistore as its not too far from my flat.

Never had a problem with that seller, but I would defo open a case against them. I use ebay a lot and wouldn't tolerate that response. Claiming back from royal mail takes forever. I'd get the ebay seller team in to make the decision, chances are they'll force the refund to you within the next...

Looking for decent well stocked feed stores in the Glasgow area, any info?
