I'm in Hertfordshire and pay £65pw paid monthly for full grass livery, which is very hard to find here, especially where its not retirement only. Great hacking (for Hertfordshire) but no school. Hay included but not feed. Occasional rug changes. Fields rotated and harrowed, not poo picked...
I have a Dr Cook bridle sitting in a drawer that I've been meaning to sell at some point, it's missing the browband which I'm sure I have somewhere so was hoping for that to turn up before selling! However if you are interested without browband feel free to pm me? I think its cob size but can...
I struggled getting my horse to load into mine until I figured out he wants to get in facing forwards then turn around on the box. He doesn't love it though and will dig at the floor when stationary so I try get going straight away once loaded and don't leave him on the box once arrived at our...
I'm having a clear out and put a few things on FB marketplace. Obviously scammers are everywhere but its ridiculous, one item had 4 scammers message within half an hour. They're really obviously scams, the current popular scam seems to be saying a friend/relative will collect and then getting...
My horse often has quite foul smelling breath. He has a large growth in his nasal cavity, diagnosed by ct scan after dentist couldn't find any tooth related cause. Vet advised against surgery due to high risks and it doesn't seem to cause him discomfort. I think the smell is caused by nasal...
If you do want to try clip either now or in the future, I wouldnt fork out for 'proper' clippers. I bought liveryman nova trimmers last year, used to give bib/ very low Irish clips to my mini cob and horse, I didn't want to spend loads on clippers in case the horses hated it and I gave up. They...
I am in South East and a few years ago I charged £80 a month for a 15.2hh horse capable of hacking, basic schooling and jumping up to 70cm, at a nice yard with school, jump paddock and decent hacking, assisted diy, one weekend and one weekday with option of more now and again, but I didn't have...
My pony will be going on part/full loan soon. Due to his size his rider will likely be a child with parental supervision. Obviously the child will need some kind of rider insurance, but should I also check whether the parent involved also has some kind of insurance?
Yeah I read your thread about it and that's part of what's made me wonder if it is worth the hassle!
See I saw something about copies of the sales invoice but hadn't seen buyer pays 2% fee anywhere! Also most info online is for business sellers, I don't know how different or not it is for...
I'm hoping someone here has done this recently or has more understanding of the customs requirements. I've been trying to figure out how to post a saddle from UK mainland to an EU country and its turning my brain inside out 🙃
Quotes look to be around £60 excluding VAT, including insurance for...
I took my gelding to vet last month to have his back and hocks xrayed as well as scope for ulcers, as he was sore over lumbar and 'not quite right' despite recent saddle fit and physio appointments. Mild kissing spine, mild osteoarthritis and mild ulcers all found so it was worth doing. He had 6...
Another vote for abandonment notice, served as soon as the notice period ends. I know of someone who had a mare and foal abandoned on their land, slightly different circumstance but it was easy to do and no one came to collect so they became legal owners of the horses. I think they kept them for...
