I am sure the local rescue centre will, indeed.

Spottybotty, what a lovely thing to do. A great ending to little Baggy's story :)

Hello everyone, Me and the OH are going on a bit of a road trip this coming weekend to Scotland. We have a hotel booked on Friday night in Edinburgh, but other than that, we have nothing booked. We want to see some beautiful places, possibly go riding somewhere (any suggestion?) and...

Vet doesn't think it is sweet itch. Thanks, this is what I am planning to do. I honestly thought it was something eating him, rather than an allergy, but appears not. Off I go to look at alternatives...

Does anyone have any experience with horses being allergic to straw? My horse developed a rash on his undercarriage earlier this year, I called the vet out and they gave him an injection (for mites, I think) and some shampoo to bath him in. I followed his advice, and although it gave the...

Recently opened a new haylage bale at the yard and it has a horrible fish like smell coming from it, it also has large mouldy areas which are concerning. Does anyone have any experience with this horrible smell? :(

Magicmillbroke, I love your HW. I have one too, and if he turns out to be half as gorgeous and talented as your mare, I'll be happy :)

I will try and make it if I'm not away (got 2 weekends booked up at the middle/end of September!). :D

Thanks Rebel! Winston just gave you a big kiss to show his appreciation for the carrot! :)

Last night I took the little powerhouse out for a hack with 3 others from the new yard (which is fantastic, if anyone remembers, I was at a yard with another lady who was very controlling, weird and belittling). Anyway, the little dude was amazing, everyone commented on what a superstar he...

Thanks for the replies. The only reason I hadn't phoned the vet sooner was that the rash had looked to have mostly gone/healed (don't want you thinking I am neglecting him :o), leaving only the scabs which were dropping off, and leaving what looked like healthy skin underneath. I was...

My gelding has developed a rash on his underside: Sorry about the quality of the images. The rash developed slowly and last night seems to be on the mend (no open wounds), however, this morning when I checked him the healed wounds have reopened and he has the sore patches...

How is it not planning a sale when you are planning to sell him in "18 months"!?!! I would not sell you the horse, knowing you would sell it on once it had 'reached its peak'.

+3 :D
