    bad experiences with horse dealers

    I've had a bad experience, wanted to take it further (trading standards were interested), but my vet advised me not to, as he knew the dealer and his "connections" and that it could lead to a "dangerous dark car park incident". Will never buy from a dealer again!

    Riding with non-horsey OH...oh dear! (couple of pics)

    LOL thats funny. Saying that a woman got trampled by by cows just down the road a couple of weeks ago, so they're not to be messed with I went out with my OH yesterday- he rode our 11.2 Section A (my OH doesn't weigh much I hasten to add!). He looked very funny but really enjoyed it!

    Another update on my collapsing horse

    Flame- doing my head in too, and everyone else who becomes involved I think. Am wondering about changing Ronan's name to Enigma Amymay- I used Huw Thomas in the end, mainly cos of the logistics of it, and given that it might not be a "one stop" solution and so might require several visits...

    Trading standards coming out to check my passports - eek!

    Why would trading standards want to see horse passports? Or am I being thick?

    Another update on my collapsing horse

    For those of you that wanted updates on Ronan's collapsing, here goes! He's been off the bute now for a week and hasn't yet gone down, although does look uncomfortable when first tacked up. I've been using a different saddle which I was told was a better fit, and also bought an atherston waffle...

    I failed my towing test today

    holly kb- as star said. If we weren't allowed on the road at all with L plates then how would we learn ? You need the B+E provisional entitlement on your license though.

    HHO i would like your help please

    [ QUOTE ] Interesting that so many people have differing views on Cardiff and the surrounding (Vale of Glamorgan) area. I'd say we have enough. There are 4 different ones that come to my yard and I could name at least another 5 that work in the area. I have only used two of them (who are both...

    I failed my towing test today

    I failed mine a couple of months ago, also on the reverse. Not completely my fault as my car broke down the day before so ended up sitting the test in a minibus that I had never driven before, let alone tried reversing a trailer off! Haven't re-taken yet, had various car troubles then horse...

    Back Pain or Bad Behaviour??

    I've posted recently about problems with my boy with being saddled, he's been falling down when being tacked up. We are currently investigating it with the vet. KS was suspected first of all, but x rays showed that isn't the case. So he had a bone scan, has your pony had one of these? It can...

    Buying a horse from Ascot sales and newbie!

    Hi Rachel, nice to meet you. I bought an ex racer and had my fingers burnt badly as she'd come off the track with a tendon injury, and I didn;t haver her vetted. Unfortunately the injury only occurred a few weeks before I bought her so hadn't healed and so it went again and I was then faced with...
