Thank you :) Just got off him. Didnt turn out or lunge first. Just got on him like there was nothing to worry about. Done 15mins of solid walking, loads of serpentines, figures of 8's, and walk to stand to walk etc - and didnt spook once. Then went for trot. Did 20 mins of trot. Doing the...

Thanks for your reply :) He is out 24/7 with no grass, haynets at night and was just having Hi-Fi with apple (but that has been cut out, as he is a fatty)! And his field is next door to the school. I did have my sister to ride him - but she unfortunately cant for a few weeks due to an...

He's only had about 2 weeks off, and Ive been lunging him too. He is fine if he is being led, lunged or ridden with someone on the ground - he is like a donkey and will follow a person. Its just when he is being ridden... I cant really put off viewings now, because I dont want to leave it too...

Help needed please! Sorry if this is long... My Welsh D is being a pig in the school at the moment. I havent been riding too much due to being pregnant, but I have now decided to sell him. So I've been trying to do a bit more with him in preparation for a few viewings we have lined up at the...

Liveryman element. They are technically trimmers. But i do a full clip (inc mane) on my welsh cob, 14.3 - and full clipped both my friends horses: 15.2 ISH and also a very fluffy fat shetland! I do it every 2 months usually, and the blades usually last 4 or 5 full clips (when used with wd40) and...

I have a nearly 3yr old cob who very much knows his strength, and will drag in a normal headcollar - hes never tried to do it in a controller headcollar though. But he was just sat in a field really at his old home, have done a lot of ground work with him - he'll now lead away from me...

I have a 3 year old chunky cob, who has recently put on a lot of weight. He has an Irish Cip, just belly, chest, half neck and all face left on. He was clipped about 5/6 weeks ago, so it has started growing back, and the rest of his hair is typical cobs, very thick! He is a rug wrecker - i...

I've decided to sell my horse due to pregnancy and lack of funds and time. But are they selling at the moment? 14.2hh Welsh D, 11yo gelding. Needs confident laid back rider. Not nasty. Will go with all English tack and extensive rug wardrobe, plus remaining winter hay and can go with...

I need to get my 2 year old cobs teeth done for the first time. He is stabled in Runfold, near Farnham. Does anyone know of a dentist in this area? Thank you x

I used to use Ralph - he has now moved to Ireland though I believe...

Billy

I'm looking for a farrier who can trim my 2 year old cobs feet. He has never been trimmed - ever. I have been working on him picking his feet up. But I need a farrier who will be patient with him! We're near Farnham. Thank you!

Feed Brewers Yeast in with feeds, or marmite if he'll eat it. Also I bought scratch pads (just astro turf really I think) which gives them something safe to itch on, which doesnt rip hair out. Otherwise just rug up as early as possible with a fly rug/boett type rug.

Ive recently got a 2.5 yr old cob who has had very little done with his feet. He has never had the farrier see to his hind feet, just his front, as his previous owner said he doesnt like having his back legs picked up. I have started brushing his hind legs - which he will let me do, but if...

After finally deciding to sell Sam, I have bought a rising 3 yr old, currently 15hh coloured cob gelding called Billy! Pics below... Just need to find Sam a new home now so I can move Billy in :)
