My copies are mostly broken handles too - purchased from local feed merchant and 2 from ebay. All my original ones are fine apart from the one that was slept on and consequently split!!! J

Sent to me when I lost my boy last year......RIP Shandy with Beege at Rainbow Bridge...xxx Where To Bury A horse If you bury him in this spot, the secret of which you must already have, he will come to you when you call. Come to you over the far, dim pastures of death, And though you ride...

Well done to you all - how terrific is that!!!

Ditto here, in Glos, tipping it down - 3 of mine are out with field shelter....do they use it......do they heck!! They much prefer standing at the gate asking to come in when there is No room for them to come in hence the field shelter..........thinking of starting up a mud spa ......... or...

Walk away - unless you have a bottomless pit of money you aren't mentioning.......he is nice.....but it will only cause heartache in the long run when you are attached to him and want to help him but can't afford to have a large, expensive lawn ornament.

We made the HUGE mistake of having our mare vaccinated when there was an outbreak on a yard next to our first choice of trainer.........took her over 6 months to 'recover' from them. She was very unwell immediately after the first and was obviously not right in herself - she was dull...

We were offered several foster mares from this sort of route last year when we had an orphan foal - one fellow even offered to ship a mare from Ireland for us. I saw one of these setups - all the foals were raised in barns with feeders set up and 24hour supervision - they even had nanny horses...

They come up on thewesternshop.com quite regularly too - keep an eye..... there is one on there now!!

Good idea about the driving - start with long reining from behind - I walked my boy miles doing that when I couldn't face getting on him. He got fit, got out, and I got exercise and spent time with him....win win if you ask me.

Just a thought, why not give Mat_B a txt or pM him and see if he will run one..........that way you get exactly what you are wanting. I am sure my Lavender would LOVE to attend.

He looks fab, and I bet you did a LOT less walking, hauling and freezing than you did the previous morning!!!!

hehehe, just goes to show - you can estimate all you like, but they will decide when it is really time! Maiden QH mare gave birth to very healthy colt at 399 days in October last year........and we thought she was just grass fat!

Go for it.....we haven't looked back.......saves loads and horses don't mind it at all. Does take a while to get used to "there not being enough bedding" in there though! J

For something a bit different........and custom made......try www.redturfranch.com There stuff is top quality leather and amazing detail - they do just browbands too as a lot of their stuff has been western style up to now.......

DITTO all of the above - and for Western enthusiasts - try western-saddler.com - she uses Kay for her english clients and I can't recommend her highly enough either. Jude.

Hey, Happy Birthday AP....... make sure Lavender gives you a lurverly Lavender kiss.....

We too have one advertised as POA at present - purely because she is available only to properly vetted, experienced homes and may or may not come with everything included - when you sell with everything you get LOADS of first time buyers calling regardless of what you put in the ad about...

Thank you............... I think. Jude

AP, I could phone you to ask this, but figured that I may as well put it to the board also. I have read in some of my American magazines about the ability to "chose the sex of your foal" when doing AI - i)at what stage is it done i.e. is it get 'em pregnant, test then pinch if not what you...

hehehehe, isn't she just - it's a pity actually - if she weren't so bl**dy talented and didn't LOVE it so much we could keep her without guilt and leave her in a field to hack out occassionally BUT as she LOVES doing things and being out there - well, she in on Mat_B's for sale page (can't find...

But wasn't the mare he was riding nice..........assuming it WAS mat_b - is there any photographic proof.......perhaps he is just saying he was there to get more attention.

Comb out the tail with show sheen or de-tangler then plait like a long 'pig tail' not the show type plaits.....put a scrunchie on the end and put ina tail bag (if you have one) your tail is always clean, knot free and doesn't end up being covered in stable muck from being lain on!!

What about going with the Hi Fi Senior......it is not expensive and will give you more calories for the scoop. Or their Fibremix senior then you could do away with the leisure mix altogether.

What's the breeding - you can PM me if you want. Project Horses are more likely to take on behavioural issues and from what you say she sounds hormonal more than anything. WIth the deviation that would be a point of weakness so putting her in a situation where she might be worked regardless...

[ QUOTE ] They did quite a lot of cruel stuff by UK standards out there though. [/ QUOTE ] Sadly, the assumption that what is done in other countries is cruel and what you do here isn't contributes to the problem. Horse owners over here seem to think it is fine to fill their horses full of...
