Thank you :D To be honest I am not entirely sure, I will try to find out. The reason I passed on the link, after it came up on my Facebook, was that earlier in the year I did some supply work in a pupil referral unit. They were working with the most damaged kids in the area, victims of abuse...

Saw this and thought it was worth sharing. They need votes for a funding bid https://www.thepeoplesprojects.org.uk/projects/region/yorkshire-north

Our completely homicidal (to vets) warmblood had one removed with just oral sedative. The vet was present, just in case, while the EDT (who she loves) removed it. I don't know what the vet could have done if it hadn't worked as the horse does not allow her in the stable. No fuss and she still...

Just thought I would share this to anyone walking dogs in the Guiseley area. It just came up on my Facebook that dogs are being poisoned https://www.facebook.com/BBCLookNorthYorkshire/photos/a.458321459625.251249.15286229625/10153969668304626/?type=3&theater

Its worth putting older trailers on a weighbridge. The weight on the plate is usually not accurate, often due to new floors being fitted. I know my old Rice has considerably heavier than it said as I replaced the lighweight hardwood top floor with 1" ply :D And then added rubber matting...

Spike Traps – Tilshead 6 (Salisbury Plain). Wiltshire Council’s Rights of Way team have informed us that caltrops (spike traps) have been found on Tilshead 6, a byway open to all traffic that heads north from the village of Tilshead towards Westdown Artillery Range. The trap had been set in a...

Thank you :D He has passed all the checks with the vet, both before and after purchase. He does have a restriction on using him for breeding unless he passes some other things when he is older. But we didn't get him to breed with. According to my daughter she did a lot of research and...

Another consideration would be insurance. My company will not take on horses over 19 and limit the cover for the over 20's anyway, but its better than nothing. I fell out with them when my old lad turned 30 as they refused to even insure him for third party risks. If he is already insured...

Since I lost my two old horses a couple of years ago, I said no more animals. My daughter had other ideas, so welcome Nico (cant remember his posh name :D) I've never been into pedigrees before, I preferred one from a rescue centre, but he is gorgeous :D

Not been on here for a couple of years after I lost my two oldies, just couldn't face it. Also my daughter took over responsibility for the one we had left, she was hers anyway. Now ready to at least look at horses again

Just random thoughts, I assume Kit was insured as its usually a standard loan condition. Will the insurance pay out for this? If the person responsible is being changed with a criminal offence then I assume they will. Perhaps they will be prepared to take legal action against those...

I would be interested to know how many liveries have actually left the place, or people cancelled bookings. He might get away with it again when thinks calm down

One thing I have been considering, why was there not this kind of outrage when they did this before? Why were there not 52 page threads on here, Facebook campaigns, petitions, pages in memory etc etc Apparently plenty of people knew about it at the time. The difference? The three he did...

Another petition just came up on my Facebook http://www.yousignanimals.org/signatures.php?petition_id=389&sign=ok

OMG he has been on our yard. I thought the owners who got him in had lost the plot, so was he definitely involved in it all
