I remember 15th Jan 2009 well... I slept in the car for a week (got off lightly!) waiting for this mare; Who had been bred to THIS stallion (amazeballs, right? ;) ) To produce THIS baby... I then broke photobucket, taking at least a million photos... He would NOT...

*Waves at anyone who remembers me* Would YOU go and see this horse? (he's mine, btw, I can be as rude about him as I like) I was looking for a sharpish bay mare (bit like PF, if you remember her) to bring on to showjump up to 1.10m, but you know how life works out... I know his breeder v...

Please comment/share as much as possible. This kind of violence and cruelty should NOT go unpunished By Mr Carlos Cordoba (C&P from his post in Chronicle of the Horse) I'm am sorry to post this, and I know it has not even happened in your country, but it is important that we all revolt...

Horses (not mine!) have been unshod for about 8 months, and pretty much left to themselves with the odd rasp to tidy up cracks. They live out 24/7, we have had no rain in months, and the ground is v hard, but where they are is pretty much dried grass and dirt. Diet is alfalfa (because there is...

Last Wednesday I heard about a show at my Old Yard on Sunday and thought I'd give it a crack.The next day my puppy, Juana, became very unwell and I gave it until Friday to make my mind up. Juana perked up a bit, the vet was finally able to give me a more cheerful prognosis, and I rang to get...

PF and LC both travel fine, except for liking to sit on the back bar in the trailer, which isn't good for their tails. I find tail guards slip down, so has anyone sewn rings onto the guard and a rug and clipped them together to keep the guard up? Would this work? Ideas and suggestions welcome.

PF has slight swelling on the front of her RF fetlock. It feels firmish, but not bony and hasn't responded to a couple of days of bute. She's sound so I'm not particularly worried but I am intrigued. She's 15, if that helps.

Asking for a friend. Horse has recently gone unshod, she's perfectly sound, but what's going on here? I thought maybe an old fungal infection?

Anyone else finding it impossible to use? I paid (of course) settled down to read my digital version and... nothing. Just the first page. THEN I thought OK, will download the Zinio reader and watch it like that.... Nope, unable to download. Support were fairly quick to get back to me but all...

Show report- Day 1. Pre show. Day started early with ponies being picked up to be taken to the show ground which is also my former yard. I decided I’d take them a couple of days earlier so that a) I would have less stress to deal with on Sunday, the actual show day and b) LC could see...

Having read several threads on clippers and clipper oil, several people say that clipper oil is essentially white mineral oil. So.... does this mean you could theoretically use liquid paraffin on your clippers? I'm not trying to be cheap, but I can't get 'branded' clipper oil over here (would...

The journey of Little Cigar. In 2007 I decided that I would like to breed a showjumper from PF (pictured below) (I agree that not wearing a hat is idiotic- please feel free to be as critical as you choose :) ) And THIS was the stallion I liked :) His name is Remonta...

Little Cigar is growing up!! My little boy did his first jump this week under saddle. And this is it. Please contain your excitement!! ;) Anyhoo, I heard there was a show at my old yard (where LC was born and lived until he was 2. He had his goolies removed there as well!- got photos of...

I'm just curious as to how secure they are on the foot? The only ones I've seen in RL (don't know the brand) look as if they would come off if you trotted. Do people gallop/jump in them? Do they feel 'odd' at first to the horses? As I said... just curious

Took masses of photos of the kids today. Mum helped. It took her a while to get used to the idea of there being a zoom she could use, but luckily my camera is Hi Res and I've got editing software ;) Very VERY hot day today. Just sayin'. Bottoms. LC on the left, PF on the right :) He's also...

Was looking through my old Photobucket account and found these photos of Mr Bling himself, Antifaz. Long story cut short is that his owner sold him when I was in the UK. He's doing OK with his new owner, but wasn't he a handsome chap? BTW feel free to be as cross as you like about the eejit...

As title. And out of interest, would a stally with a sarcoid still be eligible for licensing? I'm know of one, is all and am curious as to whether sarcoids have been proven (or not) to be hereditary. Thanks :)

Several years ago HHOers accompanied me on the journey of finding a suitable boyfriend for PF, then through the pregnancy and THEN the birth. At the time it felt an interminable journey and I took an AWFUL lot of photos. A LOT. No, I really did!! So here's a recap (feel free to leave now if...

1. If my horse is naughty he/she gets a smack. That way boundaries are set and the naughty behaviour stops before it becomes a problem. I do NOT beat my horses. If you don't know the difference, then LEARN. 2. I love a horse with a bit of personality, but invading my personal space is absolutely...

Little Cigar today My future Showjumper or possibly (not) UncleJr's eventer. We'll see how things develop. From this; and this; It took AGES to stand him up. This is a behind the scenes shot of me trying to get his attention (before I photoshopped the lunge rein -that was...

I've never seen anything like this. It's being treated as a wound (as in foal hurt itself on something) but the sores around the mouth make me think it might be something else. Parasites? Another foal is showing similar soreness, though not so bad, right up between her hind legs.

And are they reliable? Have emailed them 3 times with an enquiry about international postage and I've not had a reply. I can get my stuff posted to someone in the UK, and then onto me, but slack communications get up my nose a bit.

Okeedokee, have been looking into a new bit for PF. Well, not actually a NEW new bit; I used to ride her in a tom thumb w/lozenge like this; ...but I sold it. Yeh. I can't explain it either as she went v nicely in it. Perhaps I planned to buy another when I was in the UK... ANYhow, I've...

Sorry to bring this up in the midst of a British winter, but has anyone had their horse change coats during the summer? PF is back in work, she gets bathed when it's very hot and she gets very sweaty, and chucked out again in blazing sunshine, so her coat has suffered and is basically looking a...

Has anyone used this website to order horsey kit and is reliable? Thanks

Nuff said. ps: These pics are 4 years old and have been on the forum at least twice before.

I have a 6yo spayed dobermann who lives with my parents in Argentina. She sometimes wets herself overnight. Vet gave her a hormone injection (this was a while ago, can't remember what it was exactly) which didn't really work, so have basically been trying to make sure she has a wee before going...
