    Has anyone bought from an auction

    Moo is from the New Forrest horse sales and she is honestly a dream!! She is worth her weight in gold and is the perfect stocky well built cob that has a to die for temperament :) so glad I was convinced to take her!! I will say it has taken about a year for her to warm to humans she was so...

    How does twitching work?

    I hate it personally my poor mare came from an abusive background but she had to be twitched twice via the top lip since I've owned her, and that was to clip her legs. She used to strike out and get fairly dangerous because she had very bad mud fever and I assume was painful for her. Now that I...

    Hairy horses and sudden summer!

    So glad I'm not the only one!! My cob has been sweating buckets, clumps of hair coming out she is rubbing on fencing and it's like she is felting her own fluff into a nice blanket for the birdies 😂 She is gonna get a blanket clip this morning and hopefully I won't make her look stupid...

    Does your horse have a colour scheme ?

    I have a piebald cob mare who is more white than black so her colours are black white and Navy blue, the Navy looks really good on her but I do wanna try and find a pink that looks good on her so she can look a little girly as she is built like a tank 😂

    Bareback Riding

    I bareback ride well I use the term ride loosely 😂 I'll normally hop up on my mare in the field usually the most unsafe way without a hat on and sometimes without any type of head collar/bridle etc. I used to sit in her bareback last summer to go back to the field while my sister would...

    Good towing 4x4

    Honestly I thought it having over 100k wasn't a big deal/pretty standard and as long as the big jobs has been done it would be fine but as soon as I started talking to a few people I work with (I work for a giant vehicle solutions company who deal with fleets of company and commercial vehicles)...

    Good towing 4x4

    I'm currently in this position I am desperate for Disco 3 and while there are tons in my price range they are all over 100K mileage and I'm only really looking at 2005's due to the tax. while I don't do a lot of miles maybe 5-7k a year max but I'm just concerned at the cost of getting things...

    Happy St Paddy's Day! Post your Irish!

    Here is my Irish Cob Ardlea Tayto although we call her Moo not because she looks like a cow but she reminds me of a Moomin Snork Maiden to be precise :) She is a 15.1 11 year old Mare I have had her since June last year and couldn't imagine life without her even if she doesn't like to be...

    Does your horse have a strange neigh...?

    I've heard Moo neigh once I think and it shocked me because she is so quiet all the time I do get a little growling cough like sound when She sees I'm brining dinner and gets excited but that's about it. I would love if she was more vocal but she isn't a very expressive lady and keeps to herself...

    New to owning a hairy beast! Trim, hog or leave as is?

    I'd say if you gonna clip his legs hog him if you hate it it'll always grow back :) it's what I've done to mine twice since I've had her and she looks like a different horse hogged compared to when she came to me with broken mane, mites, covered in scabs etc. She is built like yours but being 11...

    How many rugs do you buy a year?

    I seem to get on average through 1 rug a month and it's driving me insane my mare is the biggest ******* when it comes to rugs she is perfect to put them on and she lets you fall into a false sense of security for about a week or 2 and then she trashes them! She has destroyed every rug I have...
