    When is your horse officially old?

    My TB mare was almost 15 when I got her and will be 23 in April. She is the oldest in years on the yard but not in looks, fitness or demeanour. She shows no signs of slowing down, she is so willing and always up for a blast along the gallops and has no (touch wood) signs of stiffness or any...

    High temp,dull

    My mare had something similar last weekend, she hadn't eaten much haylage overnight and didn't eat her breakfast on the Friday morning. The Vet came on Friday morning and took her temperature and said it was on the top side of normal but couldn't find anything wrong. She was turned out as...

    Do you keep on contact with your horse's previous owners?

    Yes, I've had my TB mare for 6 years and her previous owner emails me every year on her birthday to see how she is. I send her an update and recent photos.

    So sorry for your loss, she was such a lucky girl to have such a caring owner and to have such a long and happy life with you.

    Selling Older Horses -Anyone Else Bothered By This?

    I bought my mare when she was 15, she passed the five stage vetting and the vet actually asked me whether I had any intention of selling her on in the future. I said no, she will be with me until she dies. She will be 21 in a couple of weeks time, she loves hacking out and is fit and healthy...

    Anyone here have Thoroughbred/s?

    Here is mine (hopefully with photo this time). She will be 21 in April, she is very fit and well with no health problems. She was bred by a racing yard but never raced. [/IMG]

    Anyone here have Thoroughbred/s?

    I have one, she will be 21 in April and is still going strong with no health problems - probably because she never raced.

    poor, poor horse...

    Just seen the photos, poor boy. How could anyone let that happen to him. So glad he has found a loving caring home. All the best for the future with him for you and your daughter.

    CC on my 26yo TB please!

    She looks great, my TB mare is 20, we just do hacking and I hope to be able to keep her going well into her twenties. She grows a coat like a mammoth in winter too.

    My horse has a needlephobia!!!

    Hi, I have had the same problem with my mare every year at vaccination time. The vet wrote on her notes "needs twitch". Last year when the vet came I warned him that she was very difficult (she is perfect to handle in any situation except injections) and I was just getting my hat and gloves on...

    Ha ha ha!!! Hi Viz funny

    I got mistaken for a police woman last week when I was out riding. I was wearing my pink hi viz jacket with silver reflective strips and have a navy hat silk with a pink reflective band over the top. A man stopped to put his dogs on a lead whilst I passed them on the moor and he said "that's a...
