Thanks Rose Folly and Nocturnal, have PMed you both.

I hack out on the buckle once a week (apart from on the roads, as horse is a bit of a pain in traffic!), so about 2 hours of work sans contact. Only in walk and gallop, though - my ex-racer has yet to get his head around trot and canter on a loose rein.

Yes, perhaps 'cope' was a poor choice of words. What I meant was 'preferably benefit but at least not be damaged by' :p. He's nice and mature for his age, with a good attitude, which is why I thought he could benefit from the experience, but now I am wondering if he'd benefit even more from not...

That has really got me thinking... I have a 3yo which I was going to prep for BYEH/4yo classes next year, never doubted that he'd cope with it, but all of a sudden I'm not so sure!

Yes, I think I know where Wyatts is, thanks Littlemissmoneypenny :)

Thanks. I've scoured t'internet so I guess I'll get out around the local tackshops on the weekend.

I'm looking for a small private yard to rent in the BANES area, for 3 horses. They seem to be like hens' teeth! Does anyone know of anything, or where the best place to look is? Thanks :)

Hmm. Not a great SJer, though - had 4 down in one of the ints. I've always bought horses from studs, so this is all new to me. Didn't quite realise the cost of a ready made eventer, even a so-so one :p

Right. She's just texted me telling me about the new rug she's bought for £60. *fumes*

She knows how to worm... and I know she understands the dangers of not keeping on top of worm burden, she's just got too many financial commitments, and is also really lazy and a terrible procrastinator. And I could say, 'right, I'm going to worm your horse and you can knock it off my livery...

Yes, I pay - that's a good idea! I do agree with wellsat, though, and am rather peeved with her, tbh.

has never been my strong suit. But how do I tactfully tell someone that I don't trust them? I share a field with a friend - the field belongs to her and has her mare and my two geldings on it. I moved there because she needed a companion for her mare and had no money or time for another horse...

I think Oberon means that a horse's hoof is not just solid keratin like a human fingernail. It's an incredibly complex structure; only the outer hoof wall is made of keratin, and the health of this part of the hoof is just a small piece of the overall puzzle. Besides, I'd disagree with you on...

That makes me feel a bit better, thanks. Must try not to get carried away :o Alma - LGL is Low Grade Laminitis.
