    Planning for stables- which are 20 years old...!

    It's actually well worth having all the supporting evidence to submit as well I would imagine, it can't do any harm to give them all the evidence so they have everything in front of them, the OP DID ask how best to get photos so obviously that's what we've been assisting with!

    Last few days (PTS)

    An incredibly difficult time for you and thoughts are with everyone else who has lost a four legged best friend. We lost my husband's mare suddenly and unexpectedly last March but if it was a planned PTS I would pamper, let them eat whatever the heck they wanted, lots of cuddles and love and...

    Planning for stables- which are 20 years old...!

    I would save whatever pictures you can showing them from as far back as you can get on google, to show them in situ. If the previous owners said it was all signed off when the house was built then perhaps your solicitor can get them to confirm this is the case in writing and ask them to provide...

    Planning for stables- which are 20 years old...!

    I'm pretty sure from memory if you download google earth there is a slide bar at bottom left that you can scroll through the years to see changes and you can just screen shot and save it as it shows the years.

    Containing a Shetland

    Just remember that anything that they can get their fury wee bums on is fair game, even our 28inch tinies can demolish anything that isn't electrified with their bums. I clip mine apart from legs (they're just too tiny and fiddly!) one of mine is a bit too ticklish near his nether regions so...

    Containing a Shetland

    It's very hard to "get over" them when they have such a huge character I always think. I remember the video of him drinking the vet's tea. He brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people that's for sure, he was exceptionally lucky to have found you, even for that short time. Time does make...

    Containing a Shetland

    My little ones are behind five foot posts with three strands of electric tape (I found the wire/rope to not be that successful with the little ones and 20mm tape to be more effective. When one of my little boys recently decided he wanted to try his chance with escaping and getting in with my new...

    To Clip or Not to Clip That is the question!

    I would clip him, he's uncomfortable and he's not going to look good at the show if he's super sweaty and hairy! I clip whenever needed and I agree with AA, sharp blades are your friend!

    Happy ending (so far) for post Basil Facebook pony purchase

    Fantastic update and well done to you both, you should be extremely proud of yourselves (can't leave him out of the credits as he has come so far and done so well against many odds!).

    Bananas?

    I have one that adores bananas, three that dislike them, will take them then spit them out and I haven't tried my new mare, the wee chap that adores them would eat as many as he could given the chance, he gets one and always wants more!

    Managing horses on less than an acre? Or am I crazy?

    Personally I would get your stables et up on your acreage and then see if you can go onto a grass livery price at the livery yard and create an all weather turnout area on your land too, then if there is no turnout at the livery yard in winter, you can still turnout, I know someone who had this...
