Thank you for both for the replies. Have edited the original post to just 5* home as I appreciate that no one can guarantee a 'forever'home. Just wanted to highlight the importance of a great home in original post. Thanks again.

Hi all, I'm feeling very apprehensive about posting this after reading the thread below about horse buying currently. Please be kind as I'm genuine and just in need of some advice. I am wanting to sell my beloved horse. Very genuine reason for sale that is not horse related. I have not put an...

Hi, I moved my horse after being on 1 yard for many years, the difference in him was significant. It took him about 6 months to settle back to his usual 'chilled' out mode. He was given the same food, same exercise routine etc...I hadn't realised the difference a new yard would make, but it did...

Thank you

Hi all, Opinions please as im new to affiliated dressage. What are the preferences for displaying competitor number whilst competing in Dressage? Number disc on a bridle or number on numnah? TIA

My horse has a scurfy mane and a little bit of scurf in the tail. I have treated him with Coopers, I washed his mane and tail the other day with dermoline insecticidal shampoo and all of the scurf came out it was like dandruff stuck in his mane, but 2 days later I can see a build up of scurf...

I feed my youngster on Topspec and he is doing brilliantly on it

My friend's horse is experiencing exactly the same problems as 'Willow2', the mane and tail are itchy and he is rubbing them, several vets have looked at him and elimated sweet itch, he has had several skin scrapes...but all come back clear. We are desperate to find out what it is, but no vets...

I can't do without my wetherbeeta fleeces, they are brilliant. I always use them after bathing in prepartion for a show as they stop any stains soaking through...making my life alot easier in the morning!

My horse hates having his tail pulled, I now use a clippersharp tail rake (for coarse hair) and it works wonders, I would definately recommend it.

My horse used to have a small square salt lick (the one's you put in holders), he never looked at it. Recently I have put a large round rock salt one (same as Mickeys) and he actually uses it now!

My boy is moulting and has been for about 2 months!!

Hi, I had problems looking for one last year and in the end I went to my local saddler shop and they made one for me, from what I can remenber it cost around £30...hope that offers some help!

I have to agree with Tinsel Dragon, my father owns a small yard but I make sure that everyone on that yard do what they want, and when they want (within reason) to avoid issues such as this cropping up. I know it all sounds harsh but I would think that she is just trying to sort herself out at...

I think that turning out is the best cure, but if it's not always possible then you could put some rubber matting down in the stable, as this will help keep your horse off the hard concrete which can promote swelling in the back legs.
