The Craven is generally the better bred horses, yes they make a bit more money. The yearling sales are interesting to watch if you want to see the excitement of the million pound yearlings being sold. It is the best yearling sale in the world, everyone is there.

They breeze at Newmarket racecourse the day before. There is the Crazen Breeze up sale 13-15 April, that is the better of the two breeze up sales there. The best sale to attend is the October Yearling Book 1 sale, that's really interesting to watch.

Soft muzzles restrict their ability to pant, they are only really used for quick stuff like a vet visit/ nail trim etc. Even then a lot of dogs can still nip in them. Maybe look at padding out your existing muzzle. You could try a racing muzzle, but they are designed for pointy noses, so may...

Great news 👏👏👏 Just to add, my rescue girlie had no usual symptoms and I had to persuade my vet to do the test ( on a friends advice) and she came back positive for Campylobacter.

It might be worth a try, as its a classic sign of anxiety. Or set up a camera at night, so you can watch back and see what she is doing before she poops. The other thing I thought of is testing her poop for Giardia etc.

If the crate is not in your bedroom, have you tried it having it in there before. It could be a separation anxiety issue, not her digestive system ? Also look at what you are feeding, maybe change the type of protein ( lots of dogs have issues with chicken/beef/salmon) or if the food has...

Depending on what standard you want, if you are hiring a car have a look at places like Swindon. Its about 30 minutes from Badminton, there is a Premier Inn right next to the M4 motorway junction 16.

Sad that the entries are that low that there is not a waiting list at this stage, probably going to be short dressage days !!

So with all the talk about improving welfare in dressage, this gets suggested ! Talk about reading the room 🙈 https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/plus/opinion/what-could-horse-sport-learn-from-the-winter-olympics-917728

Definite no to the cooked stuffed bones, even with you there. Have a look at Westpaw Toppls and Freezebones, they are much more dog friendly than Kongs are for giving stuffed and frozen treats...

I would do more investigation re pain and diet, rather than just put something on it to stop her licking.

I would say your puppy is just being a spaniel puppy !! Orijen is a good quality food, I fed Arcana to my puppy, it's made by the same company and is a bit cheaper ( and lower protein). I did have to swap out for a food higher in calcium phosphorus, as my puppy had leg issues to start with...

Maori for toast is Tohi and jam is Tami, bread is Taro. Three slightly different names.

I called my new puppy Ghillie.

If you are anywhere near the south west, get a referral to The Renew Centre in Gloucs. Rachel the main vet there is fabulous and they will find out what is going on and give you a plan to work to. People travel several hours to go there as it's so good. If it's too far, see if there is...
