My mare has two sandcracks one right up the front of both of her front feet. One has split right up past the coronary band. The farrier has put quater clips on and says there is nothing you can really do about them. I wondered if they could be operated on to join the two edges back together...

Buttered marmite on toast? Shes a little JRT and loves her marmite on toast and has about half a slice most days. She loves it but obviously I wouldnt want to feed her anything that is bad for her. Thanks x

My mare had dried splashes of what I can only describe as (pale yellow tipex) on her back legs. Its on her fillet strap also quite thickly. Her vulva looks normal but you can see she has been disharging. I have never seen this in a mare before. She is 7 and runs with 6 other mares. I would...

Yeah it is, my little sausage xxxx

I dont know if I could do that. Things have got pretty bad in the split and he wants his money back (he paid for her). Plus I am job hunting after loosing my job so I cant really see a way out right now. Family have nothing to lend me and would rather see me on my feet for once. Maybe...

Put my horsey up for sale as I have split up with my OH and we need to sell up to pay off debts etc. had a call last night from a lady who is really keen, said she thinks it was destiny when she saw the advert and would give my mare a home for life etc if she is suitable. I really want the...

Thank you. I sent her off with a bag of her food and a letter saying how if anything went wrong or they didnt want her to let me know. Animals are such a huge responsibility and I worry about all of them. Going to miss her wiggly little self, but hopefully she will be having so much fun she...

Well, some of you might have read my posts about my naughty little Patterdale and all the issues I was having with her. The general concensus was to re-home her as a working dog as she really didnt suit living with me. I live in the country but there really wasnt enough to stimulate her and...

Hi Nuala I ddidnt mean anything bad when I posted. Its just funny as I have followed your posts about them as you got them at a similar time to when I got my JRT. Its just funny how they are pups together and then one day something changes. Anyway, I'm sure things will be fine - silly little...

Just curious really. Don't dogs realise that they are siblings or closly related? I know this sounds daft but I would have thought they know and therefor would not breed, surely in the wild if they did that there would be all sorts of inbreeding problems? Anyway I know it's not a ideal...

Taking my horse's rug off in the field without a headcollar and her running off just as I pulled it off her back only to get the fillet string wrapped up in her tail. She panicked and galloped off, she fell broke her ribs and then broke her back leg. I am sorry to say that she was still...

This has happenend to me in the past. Unfortunately they all went, my childhood ponies and my 'good' horse. My parents had divorced and I was at college and did'nt have a car/licence to go out and work enough to keep them, however, I did give it my best shot. I was very very upset, but there...

Maybe he likes his tom thumb and martingale?! Of course in the ideal world less is more but if he is jumping happily in that tack why change it - it is probably the chane and the 'funny feeling' that would have been created that would have put him off his jumps. Dont forget that whenever you...

Hi everyone. I am looking into getting a secod dog to my JRT bitch as a bit of company for her as I don't like to have just 'one' of anything. I am keen on Patterdale terriers but I dont know an awful lot about them apart from they are ratters etc. Any info on characteristics, temperament and...

Why dont you get over yourself? Couldnt really give a t*ss because all you seem to do is make posts about topics that are bound to get everyone wound up and then bitch when people have a go at you. Doubt you will be missed.
