would have said PTS as he doesn’t sound like a well, happy horse… you need to forget that you have been thinking about another as that is clouding your judgement (I think). Read your post back as if one of us had written it and decide what your advice would be.. QOL is the most important...
I don’t have a problem with her being difficult but she seems to pick on things just to make fun of people . I agree any abuse should be publicised , but a photo of a moment in time is not necessarily showing how the horse has gone for the rest of the test.. videos show much more and are more...
Good luck hope he doesn’t have it so you can feel ok about turning him out . I had run out of options for mine as I felt that it wasn’t in her best interests to be stabled indefinitely and I was told that there was no point upping the prascend as it had stopped working and eventually she would...
I wouldn’t turn away until cushings test has been done, my cushings mare had reached 4 prascend a day and her levels were going up and she became pottery, there were no pulses but vet felt she was on the brink of laminitis so as she was 25 and cushings was not being controlled I had her PTS...
She posts things like a horse playing up and not going in the arena and saying it’s abuse. Horses can get awed by the atmosphere and it doesn’t necessarily mean abuse, just an overwhelmed horse , those sort of posts are not helpful IMO , she reminds me of Katie Hopkins which is not a compliment
I only know about her as her posts started coming up on my Facebook page. I have never followed her but have joined various horse and dog groups so maybe that’s how it’s got to me… I find it very odd that she posts so much and it seems to be public..
My friend had a horse that was a bit too forward going for her so she decided to sell him, he was very quiet for the buyers, they never found him too forward going even once they got him home . My mare was always forward going but when one of my other friends rode her she was very quiet . It...
Mine didn’t finish growing till she was 6. Mum was 15.1 and dad was 16 hands and she was a first foal so I worried she might not grow enough but she ended up at exactly 16 hands
Exactly that, years ago you either had a horse on D.I.Y. and had no other luxuries like holidays and nights out or you didn’t have a horse. Now they are not prepared to go without their luxuries and moan about the cost of the horse ..
My trakehner cross looked awful at 2, her back end was much higher than her front , don’t worry too much they usually even up and look more like horses.
