Well mine was on DIY until I decided to loan her to a friend in Cornwall.
I hear she's now on 24hr turn out & ad lib hay. I'm telling you, it does not come up to my standards of a sugar lump, banana, oats & conditioning mix diet & my Parelli only 'technique' (I never rode her as my confidence is not good. And if I fell off my legs are likely to detach from my body)
She misses the carrot stick I tell you!

There are statistics that a significant number of horses kept on DIY every year will not survive....it's a disgrace.

Would these be the old and sick?

Well, I think by definition, you can't get much more ill than dead.

Actually, I'd just like to retract that statement.
I live near Gloucester: there are states of being beyond dead.

Certainly worse states than being dead. Like braindead for instance. Certainly in parts

I just can't understand why people would have horses, if they can't afford to pay someone to look after them properly on full livery?
It's not as if the average horse owner has any qualifications to enable them to recognise illness/formulate rations etc.
Thoughts?

don't need qualifacations to become a parent!! And as a parent that is far more demanding than a flippin horse.
What a stupid thread!!

And do you know, it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that you replied to it.
Thank you for your contribution....but can a thread itself be stupid...or is it inanimate? Are you therefore implying that I am stupid? I think you'll find it is against the terms and conditions that you signed up to, to abuse an innocent forum member like myself in this way.
I demand an apology.

You don't need qualifications to decide if your horse is "off", you just pay a vet for a diagnosis if the problem seems serious

Ah yes - the 'clique's . . . . have seen some really interestingly named ones since I joined the forum. I wonder if it is like joining the masons? By invitation only and with odd initiation ceremonies

Beat yourself with the carrot stick PF, that will toughen you up.
At least you employ someone to do your horse, thus attaining the approval of Shailasdair, I don't and am obviously doooooooooooooomed.
Does DIY count if I am not paying to be on someone elses' yard? But.........I am a YO and people pay ME to look after their horses. So where does that put me in the grand Shilasdair scheme of things? Hum ho....

Hoever, many workng DIY-ers have done Pony Club and ridng club training and tests, some have BHS quals but fnd that working in a non horsey career is more rewarding and they can keep a horse.

No wait, if you're a step below DIY (I actually help the YO do their DIY at times in return for a discount) then what am I?? Do tell. If there's a new low, I want to be there first!

So if you have to poo pick you must be a DIYer?!!
Mine is on DIY for the protection of other people, I can't afford to be sued.....

Hope that helps you to be more discriminating in future (you wouldn't want to post on any more stupid threads, now, would you?
