Had similar problem with WBxTB but ours was saddle related. Saddle inherited with horse did not sitting straight on horse once rider in saddle. Chicken and egg situation, saddle made rider sit off to one side, and rider was sitting off to one side making saddle sit off, ment that horses...

Remembered Another One, or Two. At a winter show with my cob, freezing cold. Stood in the lorry park, horse tied to lorry whilst sorting out show gear. I walks up to cob, who is still in her travel attire and thinks, oh the back boot has slipped down. So goes over and pulls it up -...

OH and I took the horses to the beach for a ride. OH newish to riding. My horse, good, solid, sensible cob. His, WBxTB nut case. His horse is rather spooky and can turn on a sixpence / change direction etc in a flash. Spooks at seaweed, changes canter lead and direction in an...

Hi Pinkatac Where do you order straw pellets from please? I am on wood pellets and think they are good, but you say that the straw ones are better?

Miss Bean - please dont be jealous but I went to school with Daniel Craig, he was in my year and my classes. He was fab at acting even then and the school plays were always worth going to just to see him act. He was a lovely lovely lad. Chris Boardman, Olympic Cyclist was also in my year...

My cob and WBxTB (both in their late teens) get 1 loose stubbs scoop of hifi lite (will swop to original when this bag runs out) and one mug of Top Spec Conditioner/balancer for the vits, a glug of linseed and a scoop of garlic and a few carrots, once per day, and a net of haylege at night...

My partner is totally interested in my horse ......... and I am totally interested in his horse :-)

Totally agree with Mrs Mozart. Had exactly the same problem with my Show Cob - sacroilliac issue diagnosed a few years ago by Leahurst. Gave her treatment and time off but sorry to say never came right again. Doesn't mind a little canter on a long flat field (but canters like a cow...

My dog came from a breeder who has the prefix Tiggertoo. The puppies from his litter, and his mother, were named after singers. Mother was Tiggertoo Macy Gray Not too bad ..... My dog was going to be called Tiggertoo Justin Timberlake - but there were too many letters for Kennel Club...

Hi All Can I have your advice please? I currently have a set of Premier 3000c Heavy Duty Clippers. They are exactly the same as the Hauptner 2000 clippers and are supposed to be all singing and dancing. I suppose you can call me a "contract clipper" as I have to clip my VERY tough...

My Cob gets a full clip, everything bar her tail, all year round summer and winter (every 6-8 wks or so!). She has started to look like a teddy bear very quickly this autumn and is therefore due another clip asap and will continue to get one all winter as and when she needs it. She gets so...

Everything, including legs, knickers, face, mane .... all bar the tail. Retired from showing, Show cob who Hates being hairy (and i mean she sulks and gets petulant), Loves looking smart (you should see her after she has had a clip, she shows off to the other horses with a look at me...

What on earth ..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-13437279 Poor Pony ! Why did it need treatment at the Hospital? Hope you can open the link

Used to have a Wintec - like putting a board on a barrell - didnt fit me or my girl, slipped on her and was bluddy uncomfortable, far too wide in the "twist" - felt like i was splitting my kipper if you will excuse the expression. Then opted for a GFS - not bad, but used to rub her back...
