This has wheels and was made from pipes bought in the plumbing section of a building store. The wheels I picked up from a dumpster!

If you get a good farrier who is interested in your horses and can give you a commitment to come every six weeks I would grab him and hang on!! If you do this you can then blackmail him into teaching you to do them yourself in time, or you will not let go- sometimes this works........ I started...

Could someone do a lookup of current owner of Dukes Country Colours for me, please?

I do not have a fence that would stop my dog- I do not actually think anyone could BUILD a fence that would stop my dog if I were on the other side of it. I have never, ever had a Dobe that chased my horses before, but this one- with exactly the same time frame as yours, btw- did. I say "did" as...

Glad he is coming round- I would say he just needed time, but judging by the pictures he is also going to need some discipline! I have five stallions at the moment and none of them is lonely, I can assure you, it is purely down to management. None of them behaves, has ever behaved, or would...

I do not show mares with foals at foot- I think they have enough to do as it is. Mona, I do not think I would like to see that "derby" I would be far too worried that the foal would go to the wrong mare and get kicked. In the UK there is no way you can show a foal until it is weaned, except in...

Remember when doing a faecal test that encysted small red worms (which are going to be your mai9n problem) do not show on any tests, and tapeworms only show on a separate, saliva test. If your Vet agrees your best road to take with worming is the Fenbendazole (Panacur Guard) double dose, for at...

I am definitely going to make a jewelled brow band for my harness, I think more is less with these halters- as plain as you can but a bit of sparkle , look at your animals head and decide what would look best on him. I personally loathe the diamanté nosebanded halters you can buy, I have not yet...

My Vet is the Royal Veterinary College, which is just at the back of me. I have a large van I use for transporting my horses, a lot of people in the UK do this, it is, I feel, safer than a trailer (which I also have) To have a colt castrated in the "cheap week" is £100 ($AUS 205, $US 145 ) and...

I put nylon waterproof hiking trousers and jackets over the top of any layers of thermals I am wearing. They can be machine washed on a cool or cold cycle with no detergent or actually only take a minute by hand and will drip dry over night in a warm place.

Yes, you spelled it correctly!! Go to the top of the class!

I actually did what you are doing, but I did not have the Internet and I am absolutely POSITIVE that my parents did not know even one small fraction of what I was doing as I kept the horses a mile from my house. The first time I went to go into a stall with a foal that was going nuts my Mother...

The set of Wahl your father gave you and yours are basically the same, they use the same blades, they are the same trimmer. These are not "clippers" per se, they are meant for small animal trimming or trimming the chins and bridle paths, possibly heels etc. of horses. I have SO many sets now! I...

Then, there is also the horses temperament to consider. This colt has obviously had a good sound temperament in the past. It is more than possible he just is not cut out to be a stallion. I had a colt who was absolutely HORRID as an entire. He was a bully and no pleasure to own at all, and I...

One thing I do HAVE to say to you is this- if you do not have the money to geld the colt how are you going to manage when something goes wrong with a foaling mare- because, trust me, that can run into thousands!

Carly Rae I am going to be blunt now. You do not have the experience to keep a stallion. You are going to get badly hurt. Added to this your mares are very likely to be in foal already and you will have no idea when they are due- what are you going to do if, best case scenario, they foal down OK...

No, Robin sire and Dam both AMHA, although that is not necessarily relevant....

The weather is unseasonally warm here at the moment, with severe flooding in the North, and more to come, but we have had very little rain, and he has a shed, although I have never seen them use it! I'll try everything, it cannot hurt, I shall also give it a good wash in an insecticidal shampoo...

He must be allergic to grass then......which is going to be a HUGE problem!! Honestly this one has me stumped. I am going to try worming again, and dusting and then spraying with listerine after that he will be free to a good home!!!

Too late! There is no tail. No lice, although it is always worth dusting, yes. His field mate has not rubbed at all and this is the ONLY place he has rubbed....
