There used to be a large area next to Brands Hatch race circuit where there were numerous horses 'dumped' for want of a better word. They were always in a bad state and I'm aware that a couple of stolen horses turned up there too. Well my question is where have they gone? I drove passed the...

My boy is four in May and at present just under 17hh!! He's off being backed at the mo and is quite sharp but being a very good boy, he has fantastic elevated paces and is an exciting prospect, he's also bay, I was surprised to see his dad was grey!

Thanks Spark56, its annoying not to know more really as I've always known my horses breeding way back, maybe its better off not knowing! :o)

Does anyone know anything about this stallion, where he is now and what competing he's done? I know Westpoint no longer have him and I'm trying to find out about his competition career etc as I have a youngster by him. Can't find much on the internet so any info gladly received.

Has anyone on here had a second op for KS? My horse had two of his spinous processes removed approx six years ago and has steroids injected into his back on a number of occasions. On the latest visit the vet could clearly feel that he now has the problem further back when he was inserting...

To make you feel better, bunnies are just as much hassle in fact more sometimes, particularly when they eat your cables to the TV and Sky box!!

Thanks LD&S, I've posted details on my East Kent Horsewatch page and hopefully with sensible updates we can keep people posted on what is happening.

Oh poo, I was looking forward to some retail therapy before the main event! Guess I'll have to look elsewhere for that!! I've read the rules about what you can and can't take into the area and you are very limited. 'apparently' there is 'free' water, I'll believe that when I see it!!

As title really, a very good physio has treated my horse before but they are a nightmare to get hold of and I'm tiring of chasing them and getting no reply to phone calls, text messages etc. Recommendations and contact details of nice easy to reach physios will be happily received.

Ok so have my ticket in my sweaty paw but I'm a bit confuddled that there appears to be zilch other than the arena, food stalls and one 2012 shop of which I'm sure will be a rip off prices. Anyone any the wiser??

My mare produced milk even as a maiden mare, it was watery in texture and never seemed to be an issue. Vet was quizzed about it and wasn't concerned. Later on she had a foal and long after being weaned off she still produced milk and at that time I had to occasionally strip her out as her teats...

Just to let you know that I was diagnosed with arthritis a number of years ago and as a result I was prescribed Glucosamine, that was until a few months ago it was found to have no benefits for joint issues and no longer provided on prescription. So personally I'm a tad wary of anything to do...

Bell Equine in Maidstone Kent operated on my boy. They used to be my vets until I moved from their area and would recommend wholeheartedly!

For East Kent Horsewatch I have received information from a lady in Smarden Kent. Night before last she had a break-in, the thieves cut through a set of metal gates with an angle grinder, then removed a set of wooden gates, these were stolen. They then broke off the hitch lock from their Ifor...

My horse started to show aggressive behaviour and was scoped and found to have Ulcers, definitly worth persuing. Good luck!
