    buying unseen -WDYT ?

    I was shopping for a been there done it type after my last boy ruined my confidence. I ended up buying a 3yo mare from Newbury (a fair distance from South West Wales). Lucky for me my livery yard owner was also her breeder. The lady selling her was honest and I could tell from speaking to her...

    My horse has strangles :(

    As title really. Could do with some positive vibes and stories from people that have gone through the same. We have had a strangles outbreak on the yard after a sick horse was brought in from Ireland. Originally it was contained to one barn and nothing was allowed o move. My horse has now...

    Update: Horse Buying Woes

    I wanted something a bit older that had been and done and seen more. Not necessarily a world beater or anything impressive but something i felt safe with after my last boy who was a bit highly strung for me. The one thing i didn't compromise on was that i feel safe with her, on the ground and...

    Update: Horse Buying Woes

    Hey, I thought some of you might like an update from my last miserable post...i ummed and ahh'd for a while. In the end I followed my head and didn't buy the TB that failed the vetting. Instead I have ended up with everything I wasn't looking for... I have a 3 year old 16.1 (and growing by...

    Should we buy another one?

    I've been in OP's shoes. With a horse that I bought untouched from the field, broke myself and brought on over three years. He wasnt for me, there were times where I could ride him tackless in a field or hack in a rope halter. But then there were the other times, the ones that made me cry and...

    Horse Buying Woes

    I think i can generally be sensible about these types of things. I sold my last boy, not because I had to, but because i knew he could do better with someone else. Having tamed and broken him myself it was hard but whats for the best is for the best. If the decision had to be made I'm able to...

    Horse Buying Woes

    The vet had concerns over his topline muscle. He advised he thought his neck was very muscly in comparison to his back/hindqarters. I personally, can see that he has more muscle on his neck than, say a fresh OTTB but needed building up all along his topline I'dve thought. But the vet thought...

    Horse Buying Woes

    He's currently just hacking with his owner, as that's all she wants to do. Last year, her daughter took him and won some ROR showing classes, she did a bit of jumping with him and did a small amount of dressage but her interest is the cob stallions, of which she has two which took most of her...

    Horse Buying Woes

    Sorry to hear that Yasandcrystal, I guess you never can tell. Well that's just it. He doesn't think he is wholly suited to what I want, but then it's one vets opinion. And if I spend much more I'm risking spending over half what I'd be buying him for to not have a horse at the end of it...

    Horse Buying Woes

    Now I'm sure everyone goes through this...and I'm sure it's not the first 'oh my gosh horse shopping is so haaaaaard' thread to ever have existed. However... I'm biased in that mine affects me directly :D Can someone talk some sense into me... Horse shopping, for not an awful long time in the...

    Chest vs Helmet

    I have a chest and helmet mount for my Gopro and would go for video'ing purposes I'd go with Helmet. Most the time my helmet is pointed in the direction i want to see on film. However forward seat etc my view changes when it's on my chest :) i have some videos on my youtube in both positions...
