I wish I could help, but my current doby would take much offence at having to share HIS home. Hope he finds a nice home.

Couple of years ago we took my boy with us to Devon, he loved it! We stayed at Woolacombe bay in a caravan, but they also have chalet/cottage things. They provide a little doggie pack with toys and biscuits when you arrive. Right by the beach, and lovely countryside nearby to explore too.

Please explain these terms for me, it's been so long I seem to have forgotton what they are... lol.

We made one by sewing up a pillowcase, I can't remember what we filled it with, I think it was at least partly sand. We tied it up around the middle too. It was then lashed around the saddle with a sursingle. It weighed around 4 stone, it was only to break our donks in with so only needed to be...

More to the point, poor sheep. I'm suprised the farmer didn't shoot on sight, all the ones I know would have done without question. There are far too many attack on livestock, regardless of breed.

I'm suprised the farmer didn't shoot the dog on sight. I have a 3 legged sheep because some ***** of a woman couldn't control her dog and chased my boy for 10 minutes, biting him repeated times including through the knee. She scarpered, I'm left with an £800 vet bill and a sheep with a...

I would NEVER consider a yard where there was no turnout, let alone for 5 months of the year. Just asking for physical and behavioural problems IMO. An extra 10 mins travel is a bargain in my eyes, your horse will be so much happier. I keep my horse 35mins from me so he can be out all year, and...

Wow, he is striking with 2 wall eyes. What a well behaved boy you have, think my boy would love walking around town. Except peoples pockets would get mugged for mints! The pics are lovely.

I pay £110 a month, includes ad lib hay (and for my shire boy thats a lot) and all food. Also includes poo picking, changing rugs etc etc so it is full grass livery the same as your pony, for almost half the price! And I am in the expensive south east! So yes, it is expensive (I think mine is...

Yes, some chickens are stupid enough to drown themselves. They may also wander. You may also loose some to foxes. TBH it doesn't sound like a great set up for chickens, if you really want some you are better off fencing off a small area of the field and then creating a pen around their shed with...

I think you need to add more options! I travel 35 mins. The reason? I live in built up north kent. It's the only way I can truely get 24/7 turnout for my boy. Tried yards closer in the past (although the closest has still been 15 mins!) and have been told my grass livery horse HAS to come in...

Add some cornflower to his feed everyday, will help bind him up. Old of my old boys had to have it everyday due to internal problems, and it helped a lot. Start off with a small ammount, as some horses don't like the taste, and gradually up it.

Sorry, realised in my last post I was talking about wormer! You will need insecticide for suitable for sheep.

Blooming heck! What a suprise for you. Fingers crossed the rest of the pregnancy goes okay and mumma and foalie are both fine.
