There was nothing in the contract that stated if the horse was returned early that i would be responsible for costs, nor was this discussed at the time of taking the loan on. The matter of costs only came up after i told her i was returning him, and she did this by text. Pretty much demanding i...

Thanks all for your advice... I am a born worrier and it will play on my mind.. I actually felt terible for sending him back but also know he really is not the horse for me. Can you beleive she even accused me of not looking after him (she didn't bother coming to visit him last week when she...

I have today returned a horse i took on a 3 month loan with view to buy. The horse was sold to me as being a confidence giver, 100% on roads etc. In the contract it did state that the horse is young and needs work in school, namely canter work... Which i knew about and was ok with. In the...

oooh I love snow! I wish we had some... I'd enjoy going out to the stable in snow, I'm hating going in this wind and rain! Lovely pics too!

Contact the Police Firearms Licensing Dept. They will tell you the laws regarding your problem. They'll possibly also check that he does have a shotgun licence. However, shotgun licences are pretty easy to come by. You don't really need a reason to own one unlike owning rifles and bigger...

I bought those DH boots last winter and I LOVE them! I'm tempted to buy another pair, they keep my feet and legs so toasty! :)

I have recently taken my boy on a loan with view to buy agreement. I have owned horses before but had to take a break to care for my Dad. My break was for over 12 months and over that time I seem to have lost all my confidence. I went to see my horse, and rode him from the field. He was really...

I spent all morning putting off going to the yard to do my chores as it was throwing it down and gale force winds... He was already out. I eventually grit my teeth and went to get it over with. All I had to do tonight was put him in his nice big bed and give him his tea! SOoooooo glad it didn't...

Bring it in! I've had a very bad experince of another owners horse who didn't like being left on it's own!

I too would like to know how to make my white and grey look a little less like a mud monster! Blue hates having the mud removed from his belly and I won't even consider the clippers as I know it won't be an easy thing to do! He too is a furry bear who doesn't need rugging, and when he's in his...

I'm a business partner with my Husband. We're both Heating Engineers/Plumbers but I have ME so he lets me stay at home quite often!

I am new to this forum yet have owned and been around horses for over 20 years. I certainly don't claim to know all there is to know about horses and come on here for other peoples advice and to hear other people experiences. The horse world is one where no one, no matter how experienced, knows...

If they caught the eye of my farrier I'd buy them in bulk! Ha ha..

I personally don't care what colour my horse is. I have a coloured and know many people who don't like them. As long as my horse is the right horse for me then what does it matter what colour it is? And I agree there are so many bays out there, my last boy was a bay and when looking across the...
