We have a small barn on the farm, adjoined to the farmhouse at one end. Its around 20m long and 5m wide. We are thinking about converting it for ourselves to live in (we currently live off the farm, OH's parents live in the farm house). The barn is single storey, a simple rectangular shape, made...

Hi Im looking at buying the Quit Kick Total Stall System for a horse that randomly kicks around the box, at / around feed time and would like to hear others experiences, both good and bad! Did it work? Has the horse stopped kicking? Have they started doing something else instead?? Was it...

Hi, Im after a second hand quit kick, does anyone know where I can get one from? Im looking for a total stall system. If anyone has one please PM me with your experiences, good and bad!

As per the title really. I lost my horse after an accident last year, I am firmly of the belief the accident was not my fault and the other party was to blame. Unfortunately as I was not insured at the time I have had to claim off her insurance. They are refusing to cooperate and I have been...

Shropshire more than Cheshire but Pip Lyons sourced 2 for us and they are both lovely. His details are below, be warned he is at the higher end of the price spectrum. https://www.facebook.com/Michaellyonshorses/info?tab=overview

A friend uses them regularly,for endurance horses, so I think they are pretty good. I have used them in the past about 3 years ago, they were good then but not been recently. They were a loss ish grey sand then, but I don't know if they have changed since then.

Shady I love your story telling, please write an equine novel or series on here!

I have a 15.2 and I much prefer her to a 16.2hh! There is a great market for competitive horses of this size, for good PC homes, who may not want them to jump much more than 1m. (Or short adults like me!)

Hi Shug, my mare has just this week come back from an abscess, and it was 3 weeks from day of injury (twisted her shoe and stepped down on one of the nails) to being reshod and back to almost normal. I hope that this short time frame gives you some hope compared to the longer ones above...

That would be fab, thanks Anna!

Ummm the kick marks go up to about 4ft haha! It looks like a fly buck when she does it! This is why I am so concerned about her pedal bones :)

Thanks for all the replies. For those of you who lined the wall with rubber mats , how did you attach it? Because the wall is concrete I cant nail it in, there is a wooden beam higher up I could attach it too, I will have to check how difficult this would be. The YO also suggested getting...

Hello, My mare has recently started kicking the stable walls approaching evening feedtime, when her stable neighbours go in or out, and at night. This has also included double barreling the one concrete wall in her stable, twisting her shoe and bruising her soles, resulting in a vets bill and...

Thanks so much for all the feedback, much appreciated. I will get quotes from SEIB, Petplan and KBIS.

Hello, I am currently going through a very difficult claim with the NFU for the loss of my previous horse, they are being systematically uncooperative and I would not recommend them to anybody. I am a complete insurance newby, having never arranged my own before and would like...
