Got rid of my Dr Cooks as although horse went better in that than a bit, I hated the noseband being so tight - it would ride up otherwise. How is the noseband on the Micklem fitted - does it have to be done up tight too?

Terrier had her first season aged 9 months in September. Normal season, nothing unusual. Since then her mammaries have gradually engorged. I have tried to exude them & nothing has come out. Tonight they have reddened around the nipple. They don't appear sore to touch & pup is fine in herself -...

http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/owner-donkeys-lucky-survive-banned-from-keeping-animals/ This report worries me. The Donkey Sanctuary & Trading Standards were involved. Yet, the donkeys concerned were returned to the owner & now cannot be traced. I understand that the Donkey Sanctuary...

Sincere sympathies to the owner but the horse wasn't checked until 4.30pm & they suspect he had been trapped since the early hours. Poor boy. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2774883/Did-Satanic-cult-kill-one-million-horse-Distraught-owner-fears-beloved-animal-s-death-moon-ritual.html

Equine 'inventions'. Please help me understand this absurd trend in dressing up horses as if they are a surrogate baby?

Now, I own a lean, mean rat killing machine in the form of a Border Terrier. The most efficient killer of rats I have ever seen. He once decapitated a rat in 0.5 seconds. The head left, the torso right, end of. I've also loved and lost (naturally :()fancy rats and what delightful little...

OK, I'm slightly obsessed with Simon Mayos Confessions, on Radio 2. My confession takes you back to 1982. I was obsessed with dogs. After five years of persistent pestering my parents, Ben arrived. A Sheltie x Cavi, a saint in dogs clothing and the sweetest dog I have ever known. Now, I was 10...

So the advert grabs my attention - "Can I help a dog like Alvin?" I click on it, as Alvin is a Sheltie - i think - (my secret dog crush) at the same time thinking what methods to employ to persuade my husband;) for another dog and Alvin is nowhere to be seen. I've clicked on Border Collies...

I feel like I am going slightly mad. I have always been told to rest a paddock after harrowing and rolling which makes absolute sense to me. My new farmer who is harrowing/rolling for me states that he has never heard of resting paddocks after h/r. What is the correct procedure? Many thanks.

Had a text earlier today from my daughter. She's visiting a friend during half-term and they both went 'shopping' in the nearby large town (should have cCty status - but that's another story!) Text "went into pet shop in town and there's a puppy all its own in a cage. Feel so sorry for it."...

Any Pomeranian lovers on AAD? Fudge needs a new home and is in kennels through no fault of his own just due to the misfortune of previously having a numpty for an owner. By all (personal) accounts he is an absolute sweetheart and if I didn't have enough dogs, I wouldn't hesistate to welcome this...

to punish this trio of low-lifes. And I don't require £30,000 to do it either. I'll give my time for free on this occasion. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2023371/Maggie-May-lurcher-survives-shocking-torture-3-callous-thugs.html

I hack out daily and riding a spooky mare in conjunction with slippy tarmac is lethal. Today she spooked at an inoffensive small plastic bag and went to spin, slipped and off I tipped! No harm done, got back on and carried on merrily;) but was bl..dy fuming about the state of the roads. I ride...

to contact the breeder of my mare, whom I am considering selling due to being ridiculously outgrown? They are an established & highly regarded stud and fairly local to me and wondered if approaching them with regards to her availabilty for sale would be a no-no:o

..........and sign Fairynuffs petition!:D

Be brave, try to avoid the conflicts ;) bite your tongue and get over to NL to sign Fairynuffs Petition. I know some from the puppy quarters have already signed - thank you so much - but the more the merrier I say!:D

Firstly, it would be of great benefit to you, if you could learn how to differentiate between a canine bitch having a pee or a poo. I am astonished that on two separate occasions you have mistaken one of my bitches having a poo, when it is as clear as day to anyone with half-decent eyesight...
