There are so many YOs like this and as one myself I just cannot understand it. We have a new livery who came from a local yard, their horse was poor when it arrived and the owner had moved as hay and grazing was rubbish and they were given second hand hay that the YOs horses had left overnight -...

I've gone for lethal injection every time. It's personal preference but I like to spend a few moments with them afterwards, I like to hold them and be there and I think the after effects of the gun would upset me far too much. They are usually sedated prior to the injection being administered...

Brewers yeast, fly rug and an electric fenced paddock. Good luck :)

So true! Though I have had people say things behind my back that I've apparently lied about but actually the person bitching had no idea about the facts but thought it was ok to say defamatory remarks (of course never to my face so I could defend myself) - so I suppose it works both ways. I...

Such sad news :(

Well done :)

It's not impossible... However I'd be concerned there was something else going on. Are there any other symptoms? Is he putting weight on or does he look poor? ETA do you have buttercups in your fields? They can cause blistery marks (usually on the muzzle but I've seen them on legs and stomachs).

I think price is irrelevant as I know it differs county to county but I would expects hoof picking to be included in any package as it is basic care IMO. Washing muddy legs is owners preference, I use common sense and if the horses have been hooning and come in covered in liquid mud then I will...

Have you tried another rider?

It's not CCTV, its a camera hidden in her rugs. She is secretly filming as there is evidence of wrongdoing and she wanted to see if she was being paranoid... As it stands she wasn't! I'm not sure why it wouldn't be allowed as the TV shows film people when they aren't aware to catch them out -...

:eek::eek: I would love her to do that but she's too nice. Maybe I should ask for a copy... Hey Mr Postman ;);)

My poor friend has had a horrible time with her YO who, to be honest, sounds like a complete witch! My friend set up a pin camera in her stable and has caught YO bitching about her to other liveries, calling her odd and stuck up, not looking after the horse, putting left over hay from other...

I've got a fab Barbour waxed jacket that was second hand when it was passed to me so must be 30+ years old!

Great news, you must be pleased.
