It's funny you should post this.. I did a check of the sycamore tree in our field the other day and there appear to be no seeds on it at all or any on the ground..

Well whatever it was I hope it'll not happen again. I had to have the conversation afterwards that I loved him but just not in that way.. it was very awkward all round :) I am certain he knows I'm pregnant though, apart from getting frisky, he has been so so gently with me and polite.

I thought the same thing.. he didn't resist at all when I pushed him away and it happened really quickly but my first thought was about him striking out and catching me or something, it wasn't a particularly violent pinning, obviously if he'd wanted me to stay there I wouldn't have had much...

Oh God, I sincerely hope this is not what happened in my story.. can they even do that if they don't have the equipment..?

As this thread has been started I need to ask if something is normal... I was playing around with my horses mane practicing some plaiting when I noticed he had his bits out, not dangling though, like out and proud.. I ignored it not thinking much of it but noticed he was sniffing and snorting at...

I really disagree about cats and pooing in flower beds not being a problem.. I have a raised flower bed on my drive which neighbours cats regularly use as a toilet. The flower bed needs weeding and replanting but I am putting it off as I am pregnant and cat poo can be toxic and cause...

Thank you very much for the responses I will look into having one fitted I think. I can seem to find them with clips on second hand but not much luck finding something suitable new. And to answer the question no the saddle isn't moving but he does need a martingale and since I already had a...

I use a hunting type breastplate.. Which after watching him jump the other day seems pretty ineffective as possibly too big so I'm looking to replace it. I currently have the kind that has a loop the girth goes through and I'd prefer a clip . I'm struggling to find quite the right thing. Do...

Hello I have recently bought some premier equine cold water boots and am pretty happy with them. You couldn't leave them on all day though I think I read 2 hours at a time max. I bought them to avoid standing cold hosing for hours on end. They suggest also putting ice packs in with the water...

That's what I am realising the more I read. No one seems to know anything about it. Hopefully I have done what I can do and the horses will be safe. I have a million questions about what to look out for, how quickly can symptoms appear, how much needs to be eaten, are they safe once saplings...

Over the weekend I discovered quite a lot of sycamore seedlings in my horses field. They literally seem to have appeared over night after some warm rainy weather. It is my first spring at this yard so hadn't realised there was a tree nearby. Thankfully the majority of the seedlings seem to have...

I can never seem to help myself with their sales and they are actually good and reduce everything instead of just the stuff no one wants. I ordered at about 2ish and have received an email already to say its been dispatched! I will forgive their tempting marketing emails for now! Ps: Hope...

Already done my purchasing earlier on this afternoon... Damn them and their sale emails ;)

All my fal rugs have zip on necks. There is some velcro involved but for the life of me I can not remember if this lies against the skin as well as over the outside.

Interested to read this as I have someone coming to look at mine for share on Thursday followed by another possible two others. Would you insist on the insurance before they even came to try? It is something I will ask for if they share but seems a bit unfair if they turn out not to be suitable...
