Thankyou :)

My 3 year old has grey hairs all over his flanks, belly and bum and a few in his tail. They are sparse but noticeable and he has quite a large amount on his face (cheek) and a white patch the size of a 50p on his flank (not sure if this is a scar). Both of his parents are brown/black but his...

I would probably change my view if I did get the opportunity to ride a horse that is trained correctly in a halter. Horses can be unpredictable animals and if your horse decided to really bolt you couldn't stop it bitted or in a head collar. When I had ponies I used to ride a lot bareback with...

I wouldn't pay £6500, its £1500 overpriced! At the beginning of the year I was looking for a 2 year old potential show hack, I was about to spend 3500 on quite a normal animal then I found a brilliant youngster for £1800 who is 10 times better than the more expensive animal! The word "potential"...

One thing I can't stand in a horse is bad manners and they definatly need to learn from a young age what is wrong and right. Firm but kind is the way I go about with my youngsters. There is a lady who rides past my yard with a thin rope head collar with the carrot stick thing. I'm not one...

hmm I didn't think he would turn grey, I will just have to use makeup when he goes showing as they grey on his face is quite noticeable.

I have thought about that Flicker!

I bought my pba gelding in febuary and I noticed that he has white hairs on his face and flanks. He turned 3 on the 25th of april and people have said to me he looks quite flecked. Both of his parents are dark brown but his grandad (Kalaharee) is a grey. He also has a cluster of white hairs on...

I have washed him twice with the shampoo and they are not so hot and seem to have gone down in size a little but they are still there, I am guessing they will be for at least another month.

Thanks irish only, I have a feeling the haylage may have been too heating for him and hes been off it for a week now, I am going to wash him with the shampoo and just hope it clears up :) Thanks

My 2 year old gelding has bumps on his shoulder, girth and side. It is worse on his left side than the right. There is nothing on his bum, back or neck. They seem to irritate and itch him too :( I have had the vet look at him and I am to wash him with a shampoo called Malaseb and see if it...

I realise that warmbloods tend to come in big sizes but I loved my 15.2hh danish gelding! He beat the big flashy warmbloods when he competed and I fitted him perfectly and always felt in control. Its not really the size of the horse, its wether your fit it and you can ride it. You see tiny women...

Plait him up, the tail doesnt have to be pulled for a riding club show, if you can plait his tail that would look nice but if not dont worry x

I doubt she has "incredible horsemanship" I'm sure she loves horses, but she hasnt started from the bottom and worked her way up like most of us. We dont ride for a couple of years and then ride at HOYS in a dressage performance, she certinatly didn't do all that in two years because of her...

Is it true they cut the horses vocal chords to stop them screaming in pain when if they are gored? Bullfighting, cockfighting, bear baiting... whats the differance? The latter two are banned and so should the first be in all countries. Bulls are not vicious animals, they have been...
