I had a lovely mare who i found dead in the field, she had been fine an hour earlier. A PM was done for the insurance company and she had a massive bleed from a mesenteric aneurysm. The vet said she would just have felt faint and lain down. There was no sign of struggling etc. She was only 13...

Your best bet is heavy canvas if you can still get them in the UK. If only wanting it lightweight get one lined with Jute.

Cavallo used to do them, I have a beautiful one, might be able to pick one up if you shop around, I hate short jackets!

A friend's neighbour got a complaint that the pet goat was watching him all the time through the fence. I have no words.....

Very common in NZ see it all the time.

She is absolutely fine, never lame. The senior vet at the practice did not recommend surgery due to her age and said it may well improve with rest and time and it surely did. She is still coming out hacking with me at the age of approx 12, don't know her real age as she was a rescue.

I wasn't dismissing other folks views as nonsense. Your response is typical of why many people have left this forum. One thing is disagreed with and then the nastiness starts. Soon their will be no one left.

Same here, I do absolutely everything I can to make sure they have great lives with heaps of enrichment. They cannot be that unhappy as they both whicker when they see me and seem to enjoy their work.

Fair enough, I agree with her sounds like sense to me. Does that make you happy?

You are so correct on all fronts.

I have done this a few times, move house, leave horses where they are with someone looking after them or else find a livery yard to put them on. Arrange for a transporter to pick them up. My last move, the transporter was flat out due to the yearling sales in the NI, so picked my two up 10 days...

Well said, the voice of common sense.

really? I would say the vast majority are much loved and well ridden and cared for.

Anyone wanting to know who it is look at David Marlins FB page, lots on there. Absolute disgrace, I don't know how they can sleep at night.

Weird eh? going to the vet this afternoon, will keep you posted.
