Having not looked at the horse market in a quite some time I had no idea until reading on here that its good right now! Which brings me to my next problem. I'm thinking of selling my boy, it's of no fault of his own its a financial decision. I won't be buying another if he leaves me. However...

Only hearing replies in which the horse grew out of it won't improve the chances of your horse doing so hehe. Mines 6 and on occasion can be spooky, would love him to grow out of it but I've just accepted thats how he is. But then his have never had me out the saddle so I'm not bothered on the...

Being stabled on a yard that deals in connies I'd put my life on it that mare is greener than described. All of ours come having done a little of everything but they are in no way established and need lots of work before they are ready to find their forever homes. They are usually smaller than...

I had a bateson, very very nice trailer, nice and easy to tow. Didn't cause me a single issue in the time I had it and even horses that weren't great loaders went in because it's nice and light in there.

Not all horsey! I was once pushing a wheelbarrow full of 'leavings' up a steep ramp that happened to be wet. Gave it a big heave ho, wheel barrow stayed I however slipped forward straight into the barrow.. Face full of horse.... Lucky for me no one saw!!! I remember walking out the hay shed...

Thanks guys! I've spoke to the vet and just as above it's just to protect from inflammation, so they have the steroid then get wormed! Hopefully this will clear whatever's there.

Hey guys quick question hopefully, will speak to a vet later today but was hoping some quick replies might clear things up! Done a worm count on the yard and its come back very high for a couple! It's been suggested they be wormed with equimax and have a steroid injection. My question is what...

Oh I've never heard of calming cookies! Will look Into that thank you!

Hello all, Following my hunter trial report I've got a small question to ask you guys in hope that someone may have some suggestions for me. My little horse is only 5 years old and prior to me buying him in july he'd only ever been out to events/shows twice. Since I've owned him I spent the...

Thanks guys really interesting and things I hadn't considered! I've only competed twice in dressage as it's not something I massively enjoy but a friend of mine competes a lot unaff and sometimes on younger horses that can be inconsistent and this element always seemed to confuse me. So I...

Hey guys, I've got a dressage question that's been bugging me for a little while and thought I'd just go ahead and ask. At dressage competitions I'm finding that horses that seek the contact/try and work into the hand but may be inconsistent in doing so are scored lower than a horse that...

To be honest I never realised how tiring it was to ride a full on hunter trial! I was pooped at the end of the day 😂

Hey guys, Been doing some posts on my progress with my young man baloo! Well yesterday we put the XC practices to the test as we both competed in our first ever hunter trial. I really wasn't sure how it would go, he's clearly got masses of potential but he does suffer with his nerves when...

Thanks guys! Went for a good old gallop today it was just what we needed! Just realised I spelt the title wrong as well 🙄🙈

Hey guys! Thought I'd do another little update on our adventures. We did some stressage as I like to call it the weekend just gone, it's only Baloos second time trying out dressage so kept it simple for the both of us as I'm not particularly gifted in this department! We did intro A to...
