Traveled my horse with another today for the first time in two years and he was great!!!!! Even when we were stuck in road works I am so happy with him had a great lesson and then he never moved all he way home again, just munched on his haynet. Was a wee bit jumpy when we got home, but he...

Traveling my boy with another horse today for the first time in two years, he travels well on his own, but tends to move around a lot in company. Its just over an hour journey and the last time we did this one with this horse, three years ago he pulled his shoe off. Main worry is he pulls my...

Want a...

To leave the yard I keep my boy at a yard that is a 20min drive away on very twisty roads. Great location and the horses are well looked after, and on top of this the liveries are all wonderfull people. I work there to cover the cost of my livery. I started off part time, and that was fine, but...

Not long back from the vet seeing Oscar....and........I can ride him....yay!!!!! He hasn't even started his treatment yet. Vet is amazed by him and how quickly he has improved. Its not like he is on padock rest as he is in a huge field and charges about like a nutter, X-rays show that there is...

With a highland!!!!!!! Came the other day for scholing on, and being the snob I am I didnt take much notice of it, but the YO raved about how it moved. Next day I had to ride her as she is a bit sensitive and needed a quiet rider, took a bit of a fight for her to stand still for me to mount up...

Well the vet took his pictures of Oscar's hocks this morning and he was very well behaved, even though his foot was sore from pulling his shoe off, stood like a rock without being held so we got some good clear pictures acording to the vet. So I tried to keep myself busy all day till he phoned...

Oscar is getting his x-rays done today!!! I thought I would have to cancel them as he pulled a hind shoe off on monday and my farrier is away on holiday. But I spoke to the vet and he said it was fine as he doesnt need to block him as well as he is 99% sure it is in his hocks,. Slight concern as...

Have noticed Oscar has been a bit sore looking behind, but not lame as such. So I had the vet look at him today and as I suspected it looks like he has spavin. He said he would eat his hat if it was anything else!! Was not a huge shock to be honest and he said he was only confurming what he knew...

A new pony came to us about two weeks ago to be worked for fitness so we can sell her for a client. Usualy one of the younger students grab the new ponies that come to us, and unless they become little sh*ts I don't get a look in. But this pony is well schooled, so I got to have a play to see...

Is this a corect way to show off this type of horse? Im not into showing at all, but I think it looks odd. http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/marketplace/classified/details.php?id=122947&category=4

Firstly I know this should be in vets, but more people look in here. A few weeks ago my horse sudenly stopped giving me any lateral work at all, usualy he is a star at this, thought it was a bit odd so I trotted him up and he looked sound. Put it down to being fresh and the fact we were...

Does anyone know a place on line where I can get cheap selenium supplement, preferably selenavite E ???? Like to use this over the grass growing season but I am so broke with constant vet bills that any cost cutting I can do is much needed.

My horse was pratting around in the field last week when the ground gave way under him where there was a rabbit run, resulting in him falling over and ripping a huge hole in his face and giving him a fat leg an elephant would be proud off. So the vet was called out and he was a brave boy and got...

I work in a RS/Livery yard, have been there two years as staff, five years all together as I started as a livery. Basicly my problem is I have had enough. There is two full time staff, and three students and me. the deal I agreed too was I worked from nine till three in exchange for livery and...

Hi, can someone list me the advantages and disadvantages of horse walkers ???? Have never used one. Any help would be fab x

Thought I would let you all know. The horse I posted about yesterday, who lost a huge amount of blood after being tubed. Well I am very sad to say he lost his fight last night. He had a PM this morning and he was found to have a large tumor around his wind pipe that had started to press on his...

Just out of curiosity (sp?) what would you do in this sutuation. You have a usualy fit and healthy gelding, lets say he is 25, but thinks hes still a youngster, and has a real zest for life. You take him in one evening and he's not looking right, lets say its a choke. So you phone a member of a...

Our very, very special Roger horse is having to have a blood transfusion in the morning. Poor old guy became very sick last week, lost buckets of blood, and has since not managed to recover from this (he's 25 y.o) Has very low white cell count, so low infact that any stress will kill him...

We have a charity mock hunt here most years, nothing huge, just thirty or so of us get together between chrismas and new year and with permision of the local land owners have a fun day and raise a bit of money for a worthy cause. Its allways good fun and I enjoy doing it. But it s looking like I...

Someone on here a few months ago mentioned some boots that were a bit like Dubbary boots. Cost around £150. They were definately not Toggi, musto, Ariat, Dublin, joules. They were a make I have never seen in a catalogue before, mind has gone blank and I want to now order a pair!!
