ok made an earlier post explaining how I just starting leasing 3 acres.
Haven't moved my horse yet as I have just got a trough that needs filling and wanted to pull a few weeds. She is in the field next door, shared with others. Anyway
Went up there yesterday to have a nose around and the...
I am signing an agreement tomorrow and finally leasing my own land. It's only 3 acres but at the moment I only have one horse. Of course I cannot keep it this way (may get a mini as company for the horse and a pet for the kids) Haven't decided yet.
My question is will the land stay "nice" if...
Sorry, Should of gave some more info. She is out 24/7 and does have ad-lib. I know her feed is expensive but I am happy with it. I just needed some other peoples advice as I said I feel silly disagreeing with somebody that is way advanced than me when it comes to horse care.
I did put her...
Ok I am pretty new to owning horses and the person I am renting stables from has over 50+ years working and caring for horses he has been giving me advice but I don't agree but who am I to know better?
ok I have a 18 year old TB, turned away at the moment. That lost a lot of weight when...
Yeah mine is only really walking as I just enjoy being out with her. The young girl does go bombing around even got photos of jumping her poor horse after leaving her for months. Just wondered if there is a norm and if some are just extreme.
Looking for other peoples opinions as I have heard a few different ones this week.
Horses that are not used for comps just hacking. How long do you feel they can be left turned out then brought straight in to go out hacking?
I ask as a new girl I share a field with told me she leaves hers...
With a guess 5ft x 3ft x 3ft?? I know it depends on many things. I thought maybe some one could give me an average? I am hoping it will last a week but wanted to check in case somebody says a TB alone would get through that in 5 days!
(for people that know my previous post) Finally moved my two horses onto 6 acres of their own! Very Happy! Now I can plonk haylage in the field and let them munch away.
Anyway, I have a 16hh TB poor doer and a 14hh Welsh Cob good doer.
I have just got my first large square bale delivered...
Ok My previous post I explained about the place where I am at the moment. It is terrible. Over stocked, no grass and no hay and now no water.
I have been looking for new places to rent but every where is full. However I have found somebody that has 3 stables at the back of their house but...
Before I used to rent my aunts stables. Nice land and didn't have to share. This is the first time I have shared. Only been here a few months and I hate it. The grass was decent when I went there then 3 other horses followed and now it is trashed. For days now I have been looking. Places are...
