My planning restrictions specify family and friends only. I refuse any offers of payment and make sure they understand it is at their own risk.

I am so sorry for your dreadful loss. The right decision is still such a painful one. Sending hugs. xx

I wouldnt say they bark any more than a Goldie, and they are a lovely breed, just such a shame about the cancer rates. I have 2 Great Swiss Mountain dogs, which are the next breed up from the Bernies, in that group, and they just bark at people coming to the door/gate.

I have to use a mask to make up haynets and muck out stables.

I had some lovely hacks out from Drumnadrochit when we were on holiday in the area many years ago, such stunning scenery.

I add Forthglade to kibble .... very pleased with it.

I really feel for you. Our elderly Collie got it, and the vet was initially quite optimistic, but after appearing to improve, she had several more episodes, needed a towel sling to support her to go outside etc and we felt she had lost her quality of life. Sending hugs. xx

I thought they were most likely a placebo for the rider. So, I gave one to my pony before the farrier arrived ..... normally my pony would fidget and pull back on his rope etc, but he stood absolutely still the entire time. I have tested it since, sometimes giving a cookie sometimes not, and it...

Mine had to be in a cone for 12 weeks! I threaded a crepe bandage through the loops on the cone, and then tied it to her collar .... that worked for her.

It's a reflective collar, which some owners put on their ponies .... wish all owners would do this.

Millieswolfheart range are great, and they are brilliant on their helplines.

I am so sorry Catembi, what a terrible shock, and a dreadful loss. Sending hugs. xx

Me! First time in a year ..... CRPS in a hand, then a fractured ankle and torn ligaments, then terrible Sciatica stopped me, but today I DID IT .... can only manage walk at the moment as it's too painful, but it's a start and I am buzzing with happiness. Love my Unicorn.❤🦄

One of my dogs is Epileptic and has to take 16 pills/day. I hide the meds in either some sausage or wrapped in some cheese slice. I hope you find a way that works, it sounds as though constantly changing what you use is the best way.

So sorry for your dreadful loss. xx

I used to leave mine for a max of about 4 hours. Things are different now though, as one has developed Epilepsy and needs emergency meds during a seizure or cluster, so they dont get left. I am sure a lot of dogs snooze, then put us on a guilt trip when we return!😀

So sorry for your awful day, Laminitis is awful. Sending hugs. xx

I am so sorry for your devastating loss. xx

I thought I had just sprained mine, so hobbled around and just ignored it. Found out too many months later there was a fracture and torn ligaments! So now an out patient at Rehab and also having private physio too. Religiously doing all my exercises, and reluctantly following advice not to ride...

I have to mount and dismount using a huge mounting block because of various joint injuries. If occasionally I have to dismount without one .... well it's not pretty, and I usually end up draped over the neck for support and then swear when my knees and ankles feel the shock wave from hitting the...

I have 2 Swissies and they have a double coat, so they go out early and late, especially as one is Epileptic.

So sorry for your dreadful loss, it sounds like he has left you with some wonderful memories to treasure.

Providing horses are not knee deep in constant mud and have some degree of shelter, I think they are much better physically and mentally if they can stay out.

I broke my ankle and tore ligaments many months ago, and finally had my first sit on my pony yesterday!😁 When I broke my other ankle previously, I found riding boots with a steel shank (Mountain Horse) helped, and also flexi stirrups. I hope you find a way to ride without too much pain.

I cant help you with where to look, but just wanted to say I had a HaffieXFjord called Custard who I adored, but oh boy could he be stubborn and strong .... ground work and consistent firmness and boundaries are essential. Good Luck in your search for something suitable.

One of my dogs became very fussy, and despite trying different ones from Millies, adding extra bits etc I changed completely .... onto Barking Heads Salmon which she loves. My other dog sadly had to switch onto a Neurocare feed when she developed Epilepsy.

I am going through the same as you, and desensitization is an ongoing process. Some good progress was made at the last attempt, with an experienced friend clipping while I distracted with a Lickit tub. I need to treat with Frontline asap, so may have to resort to the Demosedan just to get the...

I used to use it, but had to change for various reasons. They have an extensive range, which can be a bit mind blowing, but if you ring up/email for advice they are very helpful. Good quality food and customer service.

I think a Labrador would suit .... very trainable, athletic but dont need to run all day, and not as easily wound up as some breeds.

My pony was wide backed and fat when he arrived, he has a Kent and Masters cob saddle and being adjustable is very helpful as he fitens up.
