Thanks be positive. Yes these seem to be the types I go for (I currently have a TBxWelsh, an ID and probably a TBxconnie, though we don't know his breeding). As you say, what I don't want is something that is cheaper as its not good enough for a pro but has a temperament best suited to one...

After 5 years of the most appalling luck, I've had enough of buying lovely horses that end up breaking down due to issues that were probably pre-existing. If my latest horse doesn't come right, which it's looking like he may not,I'm seriously considering whether to look into buying a well...

is anyone managing to watch on red button? The XC coverage was supposed to start at 11 but nothing's coming up...

At last it's here!!! My 2 greys both resemble hippos so they clearly had a good time in it last night. Bringing them in this morning was like flying 2 kites. I wonder whether the rain has turned the grass to rocket fuel?! haha. Anyone else enjoying the cooler weather? I actually needed a duvet...

Have either of the vets seen it in the flesh? If not then it might be sensible to get one out. It's very difficult to determine the nature of a lump without being able to actually feel it/examine it in person.

I need to buy a spray to put on rugs to stop another horse biting them. Preferably something that won't make the rug sticky. I was planning on trying NAF no bite, but also saw the McNasty spray on horsehealth. Has anyone had experience with either/know of any others which work better? If not...

Thank you Tiddlypom!!

does anyone know which brushes are in the grey set, and whether people would recommend getting the whole pack or just a few? I am definitely going to get the schimmel but wondering about the rest of the pack? I now have 2 grubby greys and need some help!!!

my new horse arrived on Tuesday, so I'm busy getting him sorted out with kit etc!!

I've been looking for exactly that for 7 months (and previously spent 9 months looking for the last one only to have her arrive lame - a year later we still don't have a diagnosis despite extensive investigation and it turned out the vet who did the vetting was best mates with the dealer). In...

I personally wouldn't touch it. How do you know no important structures were involved barring the word of the dealer, who could frankly say whatever they wanted? I recently saw a lovely mare with extensive scarring on a hind leg (which I wasn't told about over the phone) and when I asked was...

Ah thank you!!!

Thanks Druid but not sure what ****** is. Did you mean to put that? PM me if easier! :-D :-D. Anyone else?

As per the title really! What online shops do people find to be good value for stocking up on first aid supplies? Thanks in advance!

I have a wonderful one that I sadly had to retire very early through chronic lameness. He was a true allrounder, capable of doing low level affiliated in all disciplines and his pony brain meant he could always get himself out of trouble. I'm horsehunting now and I wish I could find another like...
