    Children on yards

    Listen, I dont like other peoples children by and large, but, its not their fault, the fault lies entirely with their parents who are letting them run amok without first checking what they are doing and who they are doing it to/with. Speak to the parents and draw your boundaries firmly. If...

    so sad

    The only eyewitnesses to the attack were the neighbours reporting who I can imagine would be very emotional, the dogs had left by the time the police arrived. I still think judgement should be reserved til the facts emerge.

    What's happened to shiteventers?

    Ive just found this on the shiteparents group "Sorry guys I need a break. Too many personal attacks aimed at me in the last 2 weeks. We raised 12k for the aussie floods and all I got was abuse. I need a break. "

    How much will a dog adapt to an owners lifestyle

    The Cinnamon trust can help her, but I do think she could and should give a home to a slightly older dog. Mine was a pup three years ago and honestly, it was hard going. I gave everything i had to try and make him a great dog, puppies are intensive and yes they'll bend to you to a degree but...

    What's happened to shiteventers?

    Quite ridiculous to be honest. Goes against the whole feel of the group I'd say.

    so sad

    We dont really know yet do we if she did die by being mauled or if she had a heart attack and was dead before etc. Unless of course someone was watching the whole thing unfold which of course begs the question why they didnt intervene, but from the crappy reporting from DM it seems all reports...

    Turnout restrictions in winter

    Lucky enough to have mine at home where they live out almost 24/7 apart from truly inclement weather or if I have them in to dry off in order to ride. If I was at livery I wouldn't be too dismayed at 6-7 hours. In an ideal world obviously it would be more like 12.

    Re-adjusting my expectations as a horse owner

    Well that's because for me, I didn't buy a horse because I loved horses. I love riding horses. During the course of riding my horse I started to love the horse itself and now that's why its different for her. I guess everyone buys horses for different reasons hence why its different for everyone.

    Re-adjusting my expectations as a horse owner

    I dont know if I think its sad, but I'm a hardened farmer now and everything here has to have earned a retirement, otherwise they leave this place. In one way or another. My current horse who I've had for 5 years, has earned her retirement, and at 20 next month, it wont be too long. She's...

    Re-adjusting my expectations as a horse owner

    I bought a lovely horse in 2011. Shortly after I thought something wasn't right but I never could put my finger on what it was. Various vet visits after and after she went to a fellow HHOer to loan, it became apparent they was a huge amount wrong with her. An 8YO irish sports horse, who...
