Thank you for your replies. I have made the hardest decision and spent the last day with my brilliant friend.

I think I know the answer but feeling rather alone just now. My 18yo cob has been with me for 7 years and is my first horse and a complete star. However, in the time I have owned him he has been diagnosed and managed for the following: bone spavin in both hocks, sweet itch, mild kissing spine in...

I use this on my cob's mane and tail but use pig oil (not with sulphur) to rub into his mallenders. Just massage it in every other day and he's been free of them for over a year!

Hi, I have a Farrington dressage saddle for my cob and its lovely. The Ideal Jessica wasn't right for him, which was my original choice.

I would be very wary about the two ads in that link from Kent, especially if you are buying a first horse. PM me if you would like a further explanation.

My OH was bringing in my horse from the field on my behalf whilst I was away on a hen weekend but forgot to take the headcollar with him. As he couldn't be bothered to walk all the way back to the yard he grabbed hold of the neck on his rug and with a packet of extra strong mints in the other...
