I had to size up to a 6'6 too for exactly the same reason, he has always been a 6'3 and I thought it may to big around the chest but it's fine and I am glad I went up a size
Downstairs she has her own chair! upstairs she has a HiK9 with a duvet over the top for summer sleeping and then in the winter she goes under the HiK9 into her den (as the top duvet covers the whole HiK9) which has another duvet in!
I had some when my gelding had a horrible time with it a couple of years ago, I found the sizing very odd but this may have improved or it may have just been my gelding!
However the item that worked was the silver whinnys horse sox, I had seen the vet and used their potions, I had tried boots...
I'm sorry you are having to look into this, I lost my mare last year and contacted Dignity in Hampshire, they collected her then had to take her to Gloucestershire as they only use APPCC (Association of Private Pet Cemeteries and Crematoria) crematoriums.
I realize neither are local to you but...
A horse I knew and then had on loan for a while was called Baby!
My beautiful skewbald mare was called Apache, thankfully whoever had her in-between her breeders and myself changed it to Lottie which I always loved!
I did name my 16.2hh ISH 'Mouse', as when we arrived to bring her home my mum...
I’m so sorry you’re having to make this decision, I’ve just lost my 26yr old mare, this was my first time and my vet was amazing, she explained everything beforehand including that my mare could ‘run’ once down and make sighing noises but that she would be gone and that it was just muscles...
My two are both retired to injury’s, my mare was retired at 6 she tore her DDFT and had some other complications with it, she is now almost 26!
then my gelding I bred and unfortunately had a field accident as a youngster which meant he could not be ridden so I have never even sat on him and he...
Just caught up with this thread, was going to say keep an eye out for small greyhounds, my girl is only 20kgs and tiny!
I've had my girl 5 years now and she has been amazing! I always wanted to take on a greyhound and she has been everything I hoped for and more.
I really hope it works out you
I have been with Petplan (horses and dogs) for many years and have always been extremely happy with the service, claims forms are easy to fill out and decision and payment have been quick, then any further treatment claims for the same injury or illness have been very simple and fast. I wouldn't...
I have just had to do this with my WCS.
I purchased these https://masterclip.co.uk/product-range/product/professional-dog-clippers-cordless-md-roamer-dog-clippers then got the 7 blade off Amazon, I was really nervous, like you had been doing my own horses for 20+ years but never a dog.
I was...
My mare it will be 20 years on the 26th of this month! I remember picking her up like it was yesterday, scary how fast it's gone and then her son I bred and he turns 14 next month
Masterclip do some trimmers that are fairly quiet, I have also used scissors to hog when I randomly decided my mare needed redoing and my clippers were at home, it turned ok!
Oh he is scrummy, I really hope it goes well for you.
My girl was 18 months old when we got her (7 now) and wasn't and still is very much not cat friendly!
Yet is absolutely fine with small dogs, my mum has JR terriers and no issues at all and at agility we have allsorts and she never looks...
