Yup! Been scouting yards today looking for somewhere else to move my boy, makes me nervous of being on another livery as this first experience of it wasn't too great, but I like having people to talk to so wouldn't want to be on my own either, decisions :/ FatPiggy - That's exactly it! I went...

UPDATE - Saw the YO yesterday and brought up our concerns, turns out she didn't give the foal to them, and another livery had offered her up to the kids, which confused us because she said she offered them livery when they don't have a horse? But she didn't seem to bothered either really. We...

I know that I'm new and people being skeptic because of trolls is normal, It probably won't help but this is in no way fake. I was told this by another livery when I went up to see my boy this afternoon. I'm going to try and go up when they are there to see if it's as bad as I heard and if so...

I know it's so stupid. It's really heart breaking because she's so lovely as well, a real gem of a filly.

What does NOFA mean? I plan to go down early to see it for myself and if I do I'll try to be as calm as possible and approach the man who brought her. Other liveries are livid and said if they stay, pretty much everyone else on the yard will leave. I don't know if he will be approachable as I...

I'm really sick and tired of having to watch people's kids for them. Someone at the yard brings their kids with them to the yard and lets them run around unsupervised because 'they love it here so much'. One of them is about 3 and constantly stands behind my horse. Yesterday the yard owner...

Really nice to hear all your stories and how you got into horses, it's a bug and when you've bit you're usually a horsey person for life. All the hardships we've faced with these amazingly intuitive animals at our sides. Keep them coming!

I would really like to hear your horses stories! How you got into horses, about your horses, how you got to own/loan them etc. As a four year old I sat on a horse and from there I was smitten, unfortunately for my parents who are painfully unhorsey. From there I had regular lessons, learnt to...

It is a big pain but as annoying as it is, youngsters need a lot of patience. Oreo used to do it a lot because he was unsure but after lots of time and firm voice commands he's come on loads. For the few times he planted with no sign of moving I use the schooling ring of the dually, lots of...

Wow thanks for all the comments guys I really appreciate it and yes Mike, butter wouldn't melt most of the time ;) That's very true Orca, when he is very panicky like he was yesterday during the heavy rain he tends to lash out with headbutting (very hard!) and similar behaviour so it's not...

Firstly I'd like to say hello H&H Forums! I've been a long time lurker on here and decided it's time to finally make a post. I own a golden 2 year old Welsh X, he's very good with cars and new things, lovely mover and I can't wait to see him grow up. We are having a few issues at the moment...
