Did the water board insist on doing the digging or did you have to get somebody else in to do that bit? Sounds like it could get expensive!

Has anyone had a new water supply put in to get water to a field? I am in the market to buy a field but it has no water supply. I really like the field but i wondered how easy it is to get a water supply put in and what is the cost? I haven't had chance to ring the local water authority yet so...

From what i can gather the people that own the field don't know what to charge so i want to make a fair offer but i can't seem to find anything locally to give me a guide.

I have just reread my post and realised i hadn't made it clear that i wanted to rent the field from the owner so wanted to kow how much to offer per month to rent. Sorry to be a brain cell and thanks for your posts.

Has anyone ever been concerned about something their vets have done and needed a second opinion? My horse died after surgery recently and there are a few concerns i have after reading the report on his death. How do i proceed from here other than contacting the vets that performed the surgery...

Have a squeeze around the wither area and you may just get a response where the whle shoulder area shakes (like they do when they have a fly on them). Squeeze firmly but not enough to cause pain from squeezing i.e. not too hard!! If you get a reaction try one side of the withers then the other...
