Two blacks have been caught but looking at the face markings neither are the one that is with the grey. Hopefully the greys injuries aren't as bad as the blood makes it look. ETA just seen that all have now been caught.

I think the issue may be that after saying it's bad and the prognosis is guarded when someone then commented saying how strong he was for still fighting the wonder vet then compared it to mild foot pain in a human. So whilst she never actually said his condition was mild her comment...to...

I had one like this when I was younger and one of my current ones was similar...the only time he went put was to go hunting!...so I went right back to basics and we walked across every field whether alone or in company...you need people who are willing to stick to walk...Then when they could...

I'm another who believes in doing what suits the horse. My mare is barefoot, bitless and I often ride her bareback. She hates bits and chomps and throws her head about when she has one in. She has health issues so doesn't do conventional groundwork now she just follows me round the school and...

It's an awkward one. I took a horse on loan 11 years ago and since I got her she has developed several health conditions one of which stops her from doing the job I initially loaned her for. It has never occurred to me to send her back now she is old (she's 23 now) because as far as I'm...

I'm not sure how she managed to apparently arrive at a yard, greet the owner, check a horse was okay before jabbing it, get back in her car and drive a mile to the next client in 8 minutes? Lice jab or not you can't just jump out of your car stick an injection in the horse and jump back in your...

I found repeating 'I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die....' works well 😂

I've ridden on the beach a lot and I always make a point of slowing down if I am going to be passing close to people whether they have dogs or children or are just walking alone. The post gives me the impression that the rider was showing off to the other beach goers and it very nearly went wrong.

Hi, I've just had back surgery and I'm wary of falling and undoing all the work that's been done so, whilst I don't want a full body protector...I already have a BP and an air jacket...I was looking at back protectors both for protection and some support. I've narrowed it down to the...

I had similar only it was a group of 3 cyclists who had pulled over and having a wee behind a bush, I don't think they realised the side they were on was beside a byway. I said 'I can see you' in a perfectly normal voice and 2 of them turned and started pulling up lycia...I really hope they...

I booked a lesson with him last year then my horse went down with lami so haven't had a 'proper' lesson with him but I have shown under him...which is why I booked the lesson when he was in my area...When he judged the show I was at I had one class that only had me in it so he gave me an...

Do you mean for her it would be about 50 minutes driving on top of her normal trip home? If so I don't think £12-£15 is unreasonable as that's an hour of her day that she could be doing something else so should be paid an hourly rate. When you give her a lift to shows does she pay? If she does...

I can't do anything involving treat rewards with him at the moment and that's how I've always started off my clicker training when I've done it before. Do you use something else as the 'reward'?

I'll go and check them out, thank you

My mare was originally borderline so I adjusted her diet and waited 6 months, she was still only slightly above normal so left her again and retested 6 months later. That was 5 years ago and she finally started prascend 2 years ago. All horses are different but if yours is showing no other...
