Yes they are still a nightmare, i ordered a rug off them and it took a whole month to arrive, i got fobbed off with the same story week after week, then saw it reduced even further before mine had arrived. I rang and complained to a manager after i had spent all day trying to get through and had...

They charge more because they don't order in such large amounts as the online pet medicine companies do as it wont get used in time. Also they have to go on what the supplier charges, that then has vat on top. I work in a vets and even i don't order wormers through work as even at cost from...

It sounds to me like theyve been hoolying round in the dark and have collided with each other. We had a colic referred to us due to unresponsive to pain relief, upon surgery there was nothing obvious to see until the surgeon was feeling round the organs and felt something abnormal, we used the...

Going by the sales report from York sales yesterday it wasn't any better there. There was a mid teens Connemara that has been there, seen it, done it and got the t shirt and he went for less than 300gns i think. I wish id gone, he would have been ideal for me and York is only an hour and a bit...

I would say the owner probably does have a few issues handling it, i noticed that when it came back it refused to walk in the stable and when it did go in it was rearing and bucking and i suspect that if it didn't have a haynet to stuff its face on that it probably wouldn't tie up quietly and...

I also called them, the ones in Yorkshire as nearest to me and she told me that they wouldn't do them unless they were bought brand new from them and that down plating was requested when trailer was ordered. I have found parts for them to be quite expensive, my trailer needs 3 new gas struts...

Cheval will only down plate NEW trailers, they refused to down plate my cheval trailer, although she did tell me i could buy a new vin plate off the internet and have the info stamped on it. I have a double lightweight cheval trailer and tow it with an x trail with enough room for a 500kg horse...

Happy retirement big bucks, hope you have a long and healthy happy one and you get to stay with your groom. Well done big lad.

Im thinking about renting as am moving house and need to find somewhere for a yrling and daughters Shetland pony and cant really find anywhere that is child friendly and not communal turnout. There is a tap but its connected to the neighbours water supply via a stopcock that is in the field...

What do you think rent would be for this? About 2 or 3 acres at most, with 2 stables and a storage shed. Floor is just field as base in shed so have to store on pallets, Yorkshire boarding sides so weather does blow in. No electric and have to use neighbours water as doesn't have own water...

Surely the horses temperament and suitability to do the job its destined for is more important than the colour of its hair?! Yes its true that the leopards and nr leopards are worth much more than the blankets and varnish ( whirlwind has a nr leopard and a blanket for sale and they are both...

In answer to the person who asked if vets would Spey a birch in pup, then the answer is yes. I work in a vets and we do Spey in pup bitches, we even did one at 8wks, she was rescued by rescue society for her breed and they had no homes for a litter of puppies. At about 4wks of gestation they...

Sorry for your friends loss. The mare will need a full post mortem and report doing from a vet to give to the insurance company along with a vet bill claim as they will charge for doing it. She needs to ring them and explain and the vets will arrange for the knacker man to collect her body and...

Im having the same problem, ordered a week ago, have heard nothing even tho theyve taken the money and when i rang to chase them they said they were waiting for them to come in but would be unlikely to be before the weekend, the items ive ordered weren't even sale items, not overly impressed...

I don't think you can. From what i understand if you passed after Jan 1st 1997 you can tow a trailer over 750kg but its mam must not be more than the unladen weight of your vehicle. An ifor 505 weighs around 950kg ( i used to have one and weighed it on a weigh bridge) the unladen weight of your...
