Theres a girl I know who does grass livery in kingston, which is one bus stop down from sussex uni, can ask her if you like? x

Sheryl.pochin you have a talent bordering on the prodigious for generalisation :D

So what? Why does she need a 'good reason'? Maybe they just didn't want it. Has it now become a crime to sell horses? I'll get on to horsemart and let them know :D

Why would going out and buying another horse ensure it had a 'bland personality'? :D Everyday I see people afraid of their horses, not able to do what they want with them, and I think what a waste of time and money. You only live once. Its a very British attitude I think for people to be...
