My mare has around 2 or 3 trims a year, its bliss that she almost self trims them perfectly. My farrier always comments on how good her feet are, and actually advised not to shoe her as I would be wasting my money. She is my first barefoot horse, so it was a little knew to me

Whilst I understand it will be distressing the connections of this horse, its no different to the poor men who have been beheaded and their families had to see their loved ones on every front page in the country. Its news I saw it and I read it, I had not heard the story before hand so it was...

thankyou x

Shall not go through the whole story has I have written it on here and it turned into an epic story but short version is, bought tethered gipsy mare, worms and fleas and mite came for free too lol. Turned out she must of been badly abused as she was so head shy she would actually squint when you...

My mare is 30 and we still hack out once a week somtimes twice its my choice not hers lol, the only advice I would give is to have the horse vetted to check for stiff joint (bound to have a bit of stiffness I am talking bad over worn joints). And ask sellers if they will provide vet history, I...

It happened to me, I had viewed the horse rode it, liked it, and agreed to follow her to her house so I could pay a deposit and check passport etc. As I was counting the money out the phone rang, sellers phone was quite loud and I heard every word it was someone who she knew offering to buy the...

I have a horse and a pony with cushings, the pony was 12 when diagnosed and is now 18 and doing really well. My mare was 29 when diagnosed and if I am honest she does better than the pony, prascend can make them quite depressed to start with the pony still gets bouts of depression yet my mare is...

Firstly I am sorry what you are having to go through, its not easy and you will make the right choice for you when the time comes. My friend had her old lad pts 3 weeks ago and she asked me to be there for her and the pony incase she lost it, the vet was lovely and explained things in a simple...

I pay £3 a bale I have 50 delivered at a time and pay £10 delivery, he can carry 150 a time but I cannot store that ammount. Last year I tried large haylage off him which cost £30 per bale and they last ages as he bales them fairly dry and would easily go 2 weeks and still be fresh, so this year...

Little update on my mare, well she is going great she loaded perfectly and travelled like a pro to the trainers yard. It took a while to save up the cash good trainers dont come cheap, whilst saving she had been long reined and long reined then did some more long reining up and down the lanes. I...

My mare is now 30, we still go off on some gentle hacks together I think this year is the year she has started to look older than she used to look. On a sadder note this morning my friend had her old pony Jacko put to sleep he was around 45ish, he went to sleep with the sun on his back and a...

I have always had coloured cobs which I use for happy hacking (sometime frustrated hacking), 10+ years ago they were very expensive to find and buy. I could only ever afford youngsters which were still pretty expensive back then, I personally think the problem started when certain types of...

I also have 2 with cushings my shetty was 12 when he was diagnosed and has been on prascend for 6 years started with 1/3 of a tab and is currently on 1/2. If I am honest I will not alow him to go on anymore as its a nightmare getting it in him and he self starves himself, I have decided if I...

All my cobs will grow their feathers back fully after clipping in around 4 to 6 months, unfortunatley the feathers go through a really ugly stage that make the legs look like blocks of wood lol

mmm sounds like a total horse owner hater, obviously we are all thieves, dole dossers or on the game .............*waves hello* :)
