    Horse feed advice wanted for lacking condition

    I've fed Equerry Conditioning Mash for years and I find it puts condition on like nothing else without adding any fizz. It's cost effective too as it's a complete feed so you don't need to add anything else.

    Thunking of downgrading on a horse

    Absolutely- I've seen tall people on ponies. I do love a good length of rein however and I'm not sure if I could cope with a pony length neck or stride...... amd definitely not a welshie attitude! Been there, done that in a previous lifetime!

    Thunking of downgrading on a horse

    That's essentially what I'm going to be selling. He's delightful but not as fond of jumping as I still am.

    Thunking of downgrading on a horse

    Thanks guys! All answers much appreciated! Both of mine are lovely and straightforward but require consistent work to keep them lovely. They're both TBs which are a breed I love but some have higher natural energy levels than others! I've ridden 17hh plus for the last 15 odd years so my...

    The one that got away…

    Oh several I remember keenly over the years.... As a 17 yr old looking for a PC eventer Fell in love with a 16.3 TB type that gave me sooo much confidence at the viewing. Absolutely adored him but discovered at the vetting he was 13 not 8. Would still have bought him but the vendor wouldn't...

    Are good loan horses still out there?

    I have one I'm thinking of loaning out (no use to you op as she's a girl!) but just to say that straightforward, sound horses are out there - i suspect it's a case of contacts networking and patience to a certain extent!

    Anyone remember Camrosa cream?

    Absolutely brilliant stuff. I use it on horses, dogs, me ..... Fab for softening and removing mud fever scabs among a million other uses. I nettled the palm of my hands gardening (you can tell the state of my farden!!) Smeared a thin film of camrosa on. No stinging. Amazing.

It's a gundog Rescue and rehoming charity although they do also sometimes have non gundog breeds in as well. Some are genuine rehomes from people no longer able to care for their pets, some are...

    Are there any anti hunting people who

    Help! I need a new shoulder!

    UPDATE Saw the consultant last week. He doesn't want to anything yet so hes given me a review in a year's time with another xray then. What he did say was that the operation was purely for pain relief and that movement would be no better (and possibly not as good as i currently have) which was...

    Market for spicy horses?

    Spicy to me implies a degree of argument or opinion coupled with what I would call fresh behaviour. So energy and attitude. Doesn't always mean forward going, probably more reactive and with slightly anti- human (whether rider or handler) overtones.
