I highly recommend Strangeways. Was there in the 80's and was the best time of my life. Huge yard that has gotten huger. Run more as a tight ship now but to be expected when so many people and horses to keep happy. Mandy and Pam are lovely.

Scatty pony sounds like Nugget, Linda Earle's. If a bell rang for a class he was like a bolt of lightning. Sadly Linda died several years ago.

Having paid several fitters out who recommended saddles that did not suit my boy but were 'their preference' I won't waste any more money. Mine had a huge shoulder and needed a dressage or vsd but a forward cut GP was plonked on his back and said it fitted. Rubbish. I lost faith. When I...

I am looking for a potential life partner. For a hacking home with glorious hacking, forest, bridleways and country lanes. Fun rides and beach rides occasionally. Between 14.3 and 16.0hh, aged between 5 and 14. To be safe, honest, kind with no rearers, kickers, bolter, nappers...

I have seen a horse advertised, originally £3500 but now under £2500 because it failed a flexion test on its near fore. I am a happy hacker primarily and want to hack, perhaps a fun or beach ride but perhaps not. Would you buy or consider and what do I need to be made aware of that this...

If anyone pays the £1 there is absolutely no doubt who the owner is, whereas free of charge would muddy the waters. Buyer beware.

Scenario. Horse got kicked at top of knee cap. Vet prescribed meds and Danalon and a weeks box rest. Still swollen so xrays and scans today. No bone damage, no tendon tears but dark area which is probably infection. Definite soft tissue damage. More meds, danalon and box rest for a month...

Good luck to you both x He looks lovely and you look lovely on him x

What a lovely boy x Whatever he is he appears a very good purchase and very handsome. Good luck to you both x

And I thought horse hunting would be so pleasurable. I saw a dream horse, a beautiful fairytale Arab gelding who, after putting deposit down and vetting has been kicked. No bone damage but soft tissue damage, meds and bute and complete box rest for a month and then reassess. I am happy to...

Didn't even treat my boys and they haven't proved the slightest problem. He has them, you can only do what you can and what is advised. Its not life threatening. Try not to worry, worse things happen x

Its not the racing I struggle with, the horses are bred for a job, kept in peak fitness and luxury to do their job. Its the ones who don't make it that I feel sorry for, the ones who end up in the meat chain. There are risks doing everything, even happy hackers get killed.

Thats absolutely fantastic, you should be very proud of yourself xxx

Keep up. First horse sold. Ready to buy.
