I think that it's important to see the world from a foals point of view. In the wild, a foal that is separated from the herd is a dead foal. Instinct tells them to stay with the herd at all costs, even if it means risking injury. I wouldn't leave a young foal on it's own, it is far too stressful...

It used to be a RUPP, so is a restricted Byway now I suppose. It just isn't there. Half of it is a track that goes to a house then fence and nothing. No signs at all. LCC just ignore it. No response from them over several years. Oh well, I suppose it will be lost then. I've given up trying.

Not in Nottingham area, but we have a right of way that is unusable near Bourne, Lincs. I have contacted LCC a few times over the years but nothing has been done. It's either a Byway or a RUPP. I can't remember which. Marked on the OS map but no sign up. It's in the village of Stainfield. Just a...

Contact PRE breeders on the BAPSH website as someone said. We tend not to be so good at updating our websites! I have a mare I'm thinking of selling, but haven't got around to advertising yet.

I wish someone would tell me how you make money from breeding! I started breeding because I bought a PRE stallion just to have fun with, and he turned out to be something really special. I was constantly told by judges and experts in the breed how good he is and what an amazing pedigree he has...

Without seeing both the mare and stallion it is really difficult to say, as both PRE's and TB's vary so much in type. I breed PRE's and conformation is a priority to me. If you plan to keep a horse for life then this must come before paces. It's no good having a horse with flashy paces if it is...

Try looking at Comtois. They should suit your cob mares and are fairly tall. There is a Comtois FB page which might be able to help.

Thank you! I've told her to try BAPSH FB page. I've tried the Classical riding FB page too. Only one suggestion on there surprisingly, which was Nancy Walker. I don't know where she is based.

When I was young (a long time ago!) I bought a young mare that had been ridden by 12 yr old girls. She took off every time her feet touched grass because that was what she was used to. I spent a few weeks just walking whenever I went on grass. She soon realised that she didn't always canter or...

As title really. Preferably with experience of Iberians. The horse is a 4yr old PRE gelding that is just being backed. I bred him, so I'm asking on behalf of his owner.

Flinging a saddle balnket around isn't an abusive approach to you or me, but how does a frightened stallion view it? I'm surprised that Buck hadn't come across horses like this one before, or at least similar ones that weren't so extreme. It seems to me that Americans don't like their...

I agree with what you say. He said the colt was as near a predator as a horse can get. That was nonsense. I've seen this behaviour before. If you look at it from the colt's point of view, he was taken from the only home he's ever known and attacked by people he didn't know. Wild animals have two...

Hi Carolineg. To be Seal brown a horse must be either At a, or At At (not the correct way of writing it, but I can't do it on my computer!). Your mare could be either of these. Mac has been DNA tested as AA, so if he carries Seal brown he must be At At or At A. If it is At At, then your foal...

S4Sugar Sorry for the abrupt reply. I was in a bit of a rush! To clarify. Most breeders with PRE mares who would need to know my stallions pedigree already know that they can go to this website...

My stallions full pedigree is on my website.
