Fortunately the other stallion I’ve used Hollyland O’donovan seems traceable through the Internet so by hook or by crook I should be able to obtain a covering cert for the foal due next year. Yes certainly something I would be aware of in the future you just don’t imagine it happening as it’s in...

Yes thats what I understand. She simply ignored me when I asked who he was registered as a stallion with. If this is all 'dodgy' for want of a better word, who would she be accountable to? If anyone?

I am at the end of my tether and no idea how to proceed with this. I took my mare to a yard to be covered last year, the lady has 5 stallions there, some she owns some she just has there at stud. We chose a TB stallion called Omanii and took my mare to him and she was scanned in foal. I paid...

How long did it take to go and what injection did vert give her? In similar situ with my youngster

Just wondering, am now in similar situation myself although no lameness at all. Did you reduce it by any means? Mine was being aimed at showing so that is why I am more keen to get rid of it

Thanks for reply. Horse is stabled, hasn't been out since being lame as too wet. yes poulticing daily. Shoes are on. She is tender on the frog where the puss was but I put that down to bruising/tender from where the farrier dug.

He then had a look at the off fore and found puss in the frog. I have since been...

Just wondered if anyone had any experience of going over to Ireland with a lorry and buying some horses and bringing them back? I'm just looking in to it at the moment so any information from ferry costs to the sales to go to is welcome! Me and my friend buy and sell a few horses so familiar...

I've just had that problem after my mares first days hunting. Not broken the skin but sores on both sides, nothing too serious but have been washing every day with salt and water/surgical spirit and gave her a few days off. Have just bought the shires anti chaff girth, wasn't very expensive so...

I know how you feel, no brakes is not much fun! I've always been a fan of the cheltenham gag either with one or two reins, I find they tend to keep there head up it is rather than sticking it between their knees and tanking. This is a strong bit but in the right hands it's fine and tbh I'd think...
