So after a long while pondering whether to join this forum, I've registered so please be nice!!!

I need peoples advice on two situations I've found myself in.

First situation: a horse I bought about a year ago is not happy in ridden work and as she is a well bred TB with a lovely outlook as well as good paces, I am thinking of breeding from her (vets approve). It was years ago that I was in a position to breed myself my own horse so have lost touch with the stallions around. I ideally want a stallion with a percentage of TB in him as well as having a fairly well proven competition record. So any recommendations??

Second situation is that I recently bought a horse, that isn't as easy as I was told she is and needs re-starting. She has a couple sarcoids on her girth area, one of which lies right under the girth. Do they cause pain??
A close friend used the Liverpool cream and it has completely put me off using it, so anyone have any experience with any other routes, especially the Bloodroot ointment?

Sorry for the slight essay on my first ever thread :o
 
Sarcoids- get a vet to look at it, preferably someone on good terms with dr knottenbelt, there's some info here-

And re the stallion question, do you have a life plan for the foal?? Or do you want to sell it, as if it's the second, I'd take a good long look at the market before you decide to breed. Why is she not happy in ridden work?? If it's poor temperament do you really want to pass that on to a foal?

Best of luck.

Thank-you. I'm looking to keep the foal for the long run. The mare was treated badly previously to me buying her and is incredibly nervous as soon as you get on her. After being thoroughly examined by two vets, they couldn't find anything physically wrong.
