Thanks guys, it's really nice to hear other people's stories and opinions, and its kind of nice to know I'm not the only one! I don't know whether to try and afford to keep him but when I think about it too deeply it kind of scares me in case anything goes wrong.

I have considered it but it's not only his daily, weekly and monthly costs, if there was a vets bill I wouldn't be able to afford it now let alone when I'm not working. The excess on insurance is ridiculous, I just feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. I know it's probably better for him that...

I hope you'll all forgive this post but it's more of a realisation for me than anything else. I'm due to start college in September which will be the first year of 4 on a nursing course. I came to the decision 6 months agothat although it would be hard, I'm not in a financial position to be...

I find it really difficult to maintain my boys weight during the winter. He does puts weight on then drops it very suddenly. He's no trouble in the summer and his teeth are regularly done (he's nearly 4 so done every 6 months) I'be been reading a lot on feed alternatives and some people do some...

Yeah! Desperately trying to find somewhere I can watch it online :-(

Ahh yes! Found it! Show called rough diamond, the main man was blonde :-D

I can't remember! Was about a racing yard, think the girl was blonde, she was the daughter of a racehorse trainer and trying to prove she was good enough to be a jockey, I think?? I remember when a guy rode abhorse he shouldn't have and had paint on his hands from the horses stable door... Lol

Does anyone remember the name of a horse racing tv show that was on quitea few years ago? I ccan't remember whether it was a series of a film but I think it was a series lol, just been annoying me recently and I wish I could remember the name of it! It was Irish, and had a girl jockey in it :-/

He's 14.1 atm but still bum high, I only entered him in the class as other judges have told me he'l make an excellent whp/shp. The only class at my local show that comes close to this is best show hunter/riding horse so that's what I put him in. But he's very marmite, some judge's adore him and...

Yes I understand, I'm not bothered about where we came, it was the way the judge placed light horses in every single class, mot just yhe ones I was in. A lot of people atthe show were wondering why most of the horses that came first dI'd so :-/ at the end of the day it was a training show for my...

Lol, no matter what I put him in it wouldn't have made a difference! But he was turned out for riding horse not as a hunter, I had lost the will to live after waiting 4 hours on between my first class and my second and coulsnt be bothered to change my outfit and his bridle :-P

His father was a showjumper and he has a cracking jump! But not at 4 years old lol, don't want to be doing in tendons, not worth it :-)

I would hope that in dressage, the judges won't put a horse that did a blatently bad test or even missed parts out, first just because they thought it looked nicer.

He wasnt turned out as a show hunter, but nor was the one that won the class. The only one that was was the lady who shows at a much higher level, the one that won it was a TB sort. That is my rant, not that we didnt win, at the end of the day my boy is 3 and I only do inhand classes because I...

Which is fair enough, I understand that, but it wasnt just my classes, the judge seemed to be ignoring showmanship, turnout and confirmation. She was picking out the lighter boned horses in every class :/
