    Am thinking that the course builder for this grand prix has gone into hiding and there are lots of angry riders looking for them!!

    Recommend me a barley free feed

    I agree with the pointlessness of feeding of hi fibre nuts but my mum is obsessed with feeding them and generally I just let her get on with it. Anything for an easy life!

    Recommend me a barley free feed

    I bought her at market this year, she was in very poor condition and wormy as she had been bred by a local farmer who runs his horses out on some rough land. As soon as she started eating the feed I gave her (she wouldn't eat it at first not having had feed before) she just started growing like...

    Recommend me a barley free feed

    I have a 2 year old filly on Baileys No 17 conditioning mix, high fibre nuts, sugar beet and chaff. She comes out of the box in the morning with filled legs and one of the possibilities is a barley intolerance. Thinking back a couple of months ago she also had urticaria but as it was fairly...

    Turned down by a rescue ...

    I went to see a dog at a small local rescue after seeing him on their website. When we arrived there was no going to see the dogs in the kennels, you could only look at pictures and then request an audience with one. The dog I had gone to see was an 8 year old male border terrier that had come...

    Akhal Teke

    There was an Akhal Teke that did dressage to Olympic standard I think, I'd imagine they would be amazing endurance horses. I think they are stunning...was oohin and aahing over one advertised in H&H recently!

    Desperately seeking Savannah 16h+ coloured, Leics area

    Yes, I have tried that....It was returned to the society as 'not at this address' so that is why I am hoping that someone out there may recognise her. It's a long shot I know.

    My horse knocked my mum down - wwyd?

    Know just how you feel! I have told my Mum's partner Derek (as has she) so many times not to titbit the horses and he swears blind that he isn't despite there being bits of bread in the stables and the fact that we keep getting nipped! It's very frustrating but I would have though this episode...

    Shopping suggestions anyone? (Devon)

    I went to Newton Abbot market looking for something to keep our boy company as we had lost his friend earlier in the year....ended up coming back with 2 x 2 year old fillies, one coloured, one chestnut for £140 each. Both are by a coloured stallion called Croxlea Chas both 3/4 TB types, neither...
