I would follow everyone and say 'Have it!' Much better to get it over with AND have no pain! One thing that no one told me when I had my wisdom teeth taken out was that I could vomit back up a clot of blood. It was gruesome at the time and rather scary but, once I knew it was normal I was...

ArthriAid: Absolutely the only arthritis care I need for my 'oldies'. It works quickly and has given the 25 year old a new lease of life. All she needs now is a new breaking system!! LeMieux Gloves: I wear these whenever I'm around the horses, for every job. I double glove in the winter...

OK Ladies - have a laugh on me! I am wary of spooking cyclists, scary plastic bags (when in the car). I pat my car on the steering wheel when he's executed an accurate manoeuvre, or over taken carefully, or made it up that big hill without trotting in the middle. I also caught myself...

Very sound advice! Is sounds to me like she hasn't been jumped before. If she had been schooled she should understand that poles on the ground are not for jumping (in MOST horses minds) If you want to work with poles I suggest you put them out in various patterns and work in and around...

Ditto Ditto Ditto Put the price up now! People who can afford to buy a TB can afford to look after one. This may sound a bit harsh but would you like to see him go to someone who couldn't afford the costs to look after him after all her hard work? No! It's a lovely thought to offer...

This is hilarious and I really needed a good laugh today! Sweetie - Old Daimler: was a smooth ride but the suspension's shot and the axle is broken so it's in the garage permanently! Gets polished but doesn't go anywhere Hemir - DB4: Was the Dog's B's and can hold his own with the newer...

Laura your horse sounds AMAZING!! And I thought ours were clever. She puts ours in the shade. The funniest thing Hemir ever did was roll under the electric fence to get to the lush grass. He left Sweetie in our field so she gave him away by calling to him. He took her with him the next...

The survey is closed now so should it still be a 'sticky'? :-D

All of our guys will race up the field to greet us. They have their hierarchy though! Hemir (daughter's horse) will deign to let me rub his head if he's in the mood (he's always in the mood if daughter isn't around). With his 'mummy' he'll eat her hair, lick her face and 'love' her neck...

WE don't have the dog on the bed. Our daughter does!! When said daughter was younger it was fine but, now she's off in Paris nearly every weekend, I've found myself with a bed warmer. I say 'myself' because most of the time I'm on my own and it's actually nice to have the company. The...

On a tangent: Our neighbour called the RSPCA saying that our chickens had no shelter and were wet. It had been peeing with rain for days, and the silly girls refused to stand in their shelter or under the bushes. When the RSPCA chap came out, it turned out that I knew him and we had a good...

I have watched my daughter and her horse being transformed by her instructor. They worked on exactly what ThePony said and so agree with everything they've said! Do you have a school with mirrors? My daughter found that a real help to start with, or me taking video after video. That...

I've tried to look for it on isohunt but with no joy then I had a look on google. http://www.amazon.co.uk/If-Wishes-Were-Horses-Complete/dp/B00008T4KC http://www.amazon.co.uk/If-Wishes-Were-Horses-VHS/dp/B00008T4RI Series one and two but on VHS..... I don't remember the series at...

I haven't read every single word of this thread so I hope I'm not reiterating what someone has already said: You have been honest with him, told him the horse is green and needs bringing on, yes? Well, how about suggesting that you ride the horse first, at the yard where he'd like to ride...

Likit is on Facebook. You can contact them directly on there, if you like. Have you thought about glueing something (plastic) into the inside of the ball? Not sure if it would work but it may be worth trying. Would stuffing the sides with hay work maybe? I hope you find a solution...
