As the title really, looking for peoples experiences of having to or having to decide if they should give up on their lives with horses. Facing some very hard decisions at the moment after spending the majority of my life immersed in horses I have found myself in a situation where i'm having to...

Just wondering if anyone knows much about the Ombersley table top sale (Worcs)? I have a load of things to sell, nothing major, couple of saddles, and lots of little bits and peices prob £5 - £15 each but obviously dodn't want to pay for a table if i'm not going to sell anything! So does...

...does it work? I assuem there must be people out there who only go to their horses once a day, for what ever reason, and i mean where there is no one living there and no liveries seeing to their horses. Do you have any problems with this?

' Don't LET him turn away! The moment you feel him thinking that he's going to start turning his head focus his attention back on you' I have tried these, believe me if 300kg of meat wants to go he'll go! But thanks for the comments, back to the drawing board, just thought i'd see if anyone...

Thanks Dolcé, this is what i was thinking. Dee O'Dorant i have just had him in 'natural horsemanship' head collar at the moment as A, i was trying to be nice and B, he's always been rellt good in it, really responsive. I do have a bridle and bit for him that he used to be ridden in but hasn't...

Does anyone have any ideas how to stop my 5 year old dartmoor bolting. Long story short, taken from the moors at 3 months, rescued from meat at 1yr by me, took years and not done a huge amount but is good in all ways handling wise (farrier/grooming/leading etc) has had kids on him in the past...

Jane Saunders does re-fit existing saddles if she feels they need it! She doesn't do it her self but has a master saddler that does it for her, only takes a few days and she (i assume she still does) will offer you the loan of a replacement to use in the mean time if you need to be riding every...

Glad you asked this one maggiehorse, and sorry to hijack your post!, but i am thinking of getting SIH instead of a boett as my boy destroys them but wasn't sure of the sizing, he is a yound shire that hasn't filled out, he's 18.2 but measures a 7' rug, he has tiny should atm but was still...

Hi, i already only feed high fibre/fat low sugar diet as heavies are suseptable to EPSM, but also because i just think horses should eat as natural as possible. My sec D and dartmoor also have the same just less! and less grass and less hay! My sec D turned 15 last week and no one can believe...

thansk fransurrey, very interesting, will have a deffinatley have a look at that one.

Thank you for the replies I have found your comment really helpful, kind of cemented a few things i had been thinking, the reason i posted was he has definatly seemed worse in the last few weeks (especially this last 2 weeks) than before and wanted to see if any little changes have made a...

Sorry i know this has been done 100 times over but i live in hope i might find someting that helps one day! My poor 4 year old shire has suffered from sweet itch for 2.5 years now and this year he seems to be gettin worse. He wears a demaulenkamp rug 24/7 (like boett) he's trashed it after 2...

Just be careful its deffinitley cow parsley and not Hemlock (just a thought)

Some of you might have seen my post about my pony who i sold having an accident on the way to new owners (their transport etc) I had to take him back which involved a 3 hour journey but we all arrived unscathed just about apart from a bit stiff. Any way must be having a run of bad luck, after...
