    Free to good home or put to sleep?

    Yes they are wanting to rehome, just want to ensure people who take them on realise they need rest now but may in time come back to full health and be a great ridden pony/ horse. They did not carry on breeding once the problem came to light, all have been affected differently but to summarise...

    Free to good home or put to sleep?

    Thanks for the replies.

    Free to good home or put to sleep?

    I don't know the specifics and just want to try and help their situation now- they are good people who have been unlucky.

    Budget for hunter...

    I have this type of 'perfect horse' ..... But can't seem to sell. It's only 4 so I understand it can't do the work load of an older one, but if people don't want to spend the higher prices and are prepared to spend a season going a little steadier, what do you think the budget would be for that...

    Fractured collar bone

    Thanks for the replies, not quite what I wanted to hear but what I expected. Am waiting to go back for X-rays. As long as I keep it still it hasn't been too painful and I can muck out one handed, unfortunately most of the horses I ride can be quirky so no hacking on a long rein fr a while...

    Gate shutting duties

    Hi, am constantly inundated with requests to go and do gate shutting days for people who feel they are unable to readily hop on and off or hunters who do not want to spend their day at the back of the field. Do regular hunt members feel there is any scope in offering a 'professional gate...
