Foster mare needed as soon as possible for a 6 day old foal who sadly lost his mum a few days ago. (Lancashire) If anyone can help please contact Heather on 07960 459091. Foal still wants to suckle. National Foaling Bank have been contacted, sadly no suitable mare has been found yet.

yes BUT each time you throw you still only have a 1/6 chance of throwing the six!!! so you were correct in saying the chance is 1/6 x 1/6x 1/6 x 1/6 x1/6.

I agree. Ironically my first lecture of my Psychology degree was a lecture about how people/media etc lie with statistics............ LOL! (and therefore, as 'good' scientists, how we must avoid it! Also, I don't think you can just simply the death ratio of 4/1000 to 1/250. or that's what...

I think you'll find your 1/50 stat is wrong is this is correct :D : http://www.mathsisfun.com/fractions_multiplication.html so with my calculations if a horse has a 1/250 chance of dying per race and runs 5 times the it has a 1/1250 chance of finishing the season dead......

Is anyone going and do you have a schedule/running order?

I wholeheartedly agree!

The figures are insignificant as I suspected. six deaths per 1000 is not a huge amount. 0.6%. Hardly a death trap. As wiki says its difficult to locate info on horse fatalities, I'll see what I can find for you. Have you found the link to the 23 horses that have died in the grand national...

taken from wiki: Modern steeplechase races have an average of six horse deaths per 1,000 horses taking part;[68] deaths in the Grand National are higher than the average steeplechase, with six deaths per 439 horses between 2000 and 2010. also from wiki: Information about horse fatalities is...

I will assume you misinterpreted what I said. You are speaking about one race. I am not. And I assume 'An average BE day' includes into's and prenovices? Hardly Grand National standard. Lets talk the likes of Badminton and Burghley events perhaps, make things more even. I believe it did not...

I'd also bet that % wise it's a similar number of horses. How many horses race compared to eventing. A LOT more. FWIW I agree totally with silu and I'd go as far to say I think making the fences smaller has made it worse as the horses and riders are inclined to go faster.

this is my mare due 11th April (pics taken today at 324 days gestation) here's her history: 1st foal covered 5th may 02 born 12th april 03 - 2 days late second foal covered 15th June 03 born 13th May 04 (due date was 20th may) 7 days early third foal covered 30th june 04 born 20th may 05...

Depends on breeding, performance and what type of injury.

My 3yo still looks like a 2yo allbeit a very nice one. I won't be backing him until the back end of summer at the very earliest and will probably be more like over winter. I still have his mum too.

I read something somewhere about acidity in the uterus can affect one or the other sperm, but couldn't find reliable info so assumed it to be an old wives tale. I covered my mare naturally so using your ai theory magic it suggests a filly. However this mare has also produced 5 colts...

So so sorry to hear that, thoughts are with you and your poor mare. :(

she wants to name the foal's 'smooth .....', any help would be much appreciated, she's got 7 to name!!

Superb!! That and the one in your sig look enormous! I'd need brave pants on for sure! Perhaps I should go hunting too, might make me braver, I'm rather taken with the idea of an insane alter ego muhahaha!

wagon dealers or anywhere that sells the former courier vehicles. Friend of mine bough a 4yo 7.5 ton wagon with full service history from one of these places, it used to belong to warburtons and had full service history. It cost 2k. Try scrap yards, may be one that needs a new engine? Mine is...

I think what you offer is excellent Kate. I offer what I'd call LFG in that I want the breeder to have a healthy live foal at 2 weeks old, but I ask that I'm paid upfront and return 100% of the stud fee if the mare is scanned not in foal or is scanned in foal but anything happens between the...

Lol, the almost roll is one of my most memorable moments! Didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

TableDancer he's by Coriano Z out of a mare by Lupicor. full pedigree is here http://www.sporthorse-data.com/d?d=contradiction+z&sex=&color=&dog_breed=any&birthyear=&birthland= He's related to OkiDoki, Totilas, Try Time, Vindicator, Iowa, Condios, Diarado....... His mum is simply stunning...

Thank you everyone, am so glad you like him! :D Llanali - he'll be aimed at showjumping, he's quite small but hopefully he can be the next Flipper d'Elle or Hickstead. Bounced - he is such a laid back larry, apparently he has no sense of occasion or shame! haha. I am very proud of him, he...

Definitely a clear round! Very Cute video! :D

Thank you Rosiefan :D he was a good boy, did me proud! Stencilface - watch the video at the bottom if you can - he almost got one in!! :o Not much planned this year for him, I may back him towards the end of the summer when he's grown and matured some more. I can't wait though I may need a...

In that no one was riding!! On 5th Feb I took my 3yo to the loose jumping competition at SSGB at Addington. After numerous transport problems, (my wagon brakes failing and not being able to find a hire or lift) I was rescued at the 11th hour literally on Saturday morning by Vicky who dropped...

A friend of mine has a 4yo by him out of her sons connemara jumping pony, he's just started doing BN's and has a cracking jump and lovely laid back attitude.

Lovely photo's, I really love your first one Enfys! The expressions are fantastic!

Hi Gerda, Thank you for your kind comments. He's not yet graded anywhere, I'm unsure as to whether to take him yet with him being so immature and I wouldn't want that to be a reason for him to attend and fail. I've tried to be very careful with him as I want him as a future horse and didn't...

Not sat on him yet as I think he's a bit immature and he's not 3 until end of May. Will probably back him in Autumn. I can't wait - though I might need some velcro pants to jump him! :D

Congratulations vixann! I was stabled near him and he looked lovely to me, also saw him at an event last year and he was a saint. Agree with what HH says, if he's had a reaction at Hartpury it would explain his odd behaviour there. He was lovely at SSGB.
