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

OK, guys, those who know me know I am, paranoid about worming. The gelding in question has had Fenbendazole five day course, Ivermectin and Praziquantel, His insides should be as near a worm free zone as is possible!! I am about to worm again with Ivermectin, but he really is rubbing a lot, he...

This is Shadowplay Beyond the Pale, he stands 31 1/2" to the withers now (I measured him yesterday) and I am rather pleased with him. I hope to get him started in harness this summer (if we get a summer....) He is three this year, I think he will varnish out on the front eventually, but he is...

Has anyone built one of these? I am in a position now where one would be very handy but there is no chance of finding one ready built....

Just asking- no pictures, no emoticons- quite a few of us are in the same boat here....

... Apologies I can't get it to direct link but it is WELL worth the effort of pasting if you have not, of course, already seen it- I was speechless, I really was, I watched it live and I was screaming at the TV!!

Well, I had a job needed doing and master Misty was in the line of fire so he got hauled in in his winter jammies and put to work. To say he was surprised was putting it mildly but, basically, I draw the line at lugging 3 cwt of feed across a field when I have 22 horses sitting around, all of...

OK it needs a little TLC, I have to sand it down and revarnish the whole thing, cover the seat (maybe get one of those wedge seats) and I have to go get my 36" mare back! It is a wee bit big for Misty (I would not take the Toad to try it as I just know he would have had a fit) who is maybe 31"...

http://www.doublediamondtack.com/icon-img-beta_harness.jpg I would quite like a beta harness- I am hoping as well as, as opposes to instead of- opinions on this one please- you can PM me if you wish, that would be fine.... http://www.doublediamondtack.com/icon-img-leather_harness_2.jpg And...

I shall update when something happens, and certainly whenever I get photos- at the moment he is pulling the tyre round outside, all over both the top (around an acre and a half) field and the bottom (same size, long grass, lots of interesting mares) and he is still being an *&^@* I got quite...

This is what I cannot wait to see from the seat of the cart! He's not going badly at all, it's very slow against the two boys I did last year- he is more of a delicate flower and cannot believe he is supposed to work for a living! I have some nice ones of him backing (three steps and a good...

OK, both the harnesses I have fit DC where they touch- he is swamped by them! I was able to get him sort of started, ground only, with the nylon harness and bits and pieces of old harnesses I have "lying around" Now I need a good one. This horse deserves the best but I am going to tell you I...

Rabbit (Shadowplay Mighty Atom) at 32 years young. Born 25th September 1979 at 5.30 am, and it was cold and dark and his Mama, Kitty, had run under three fences to have him in the centre of an admiring circle of slightly bemused Arab broodmares! I carried him back under my arm, thinking "This...

I know how easily confusuzzled people can be (well....I am so I am assuming there are others like me!) but I thought it was time for a change in my Avatar. The new one is of DC, who is now all grown up and starting in harness (to his disgust) and doing some serious winning for me as well, so I...

OK, I had thought I had done this on Wednesday....... It seems I really am finally losing it! Anyway, to repeat the post I apparently never actually made... My indefatigable friend has ripped my site apart physically and put it back together in a different order- the babies are up and the...

OK, here's the problem. Misty is going quite well, he goes forward into the bit when ground driven, and he accepts the whip aids. In the cart I feel he is behind the bit and he does not like the whip, not one bit! Now I am happy to accept this is my fault as I am and always have been a "rein...

This is Ariel, he is only 27" at present but he is a yearling, so I am hopeful he will grow! I think he would make quite a nice driving horse, if he ever stops being a hot air balloon impersonator, that is! He is an absolute HEADCASE at the moment. Still ,I guess he can only get better/

Hallo everybody, not sure if I have actually posted on here, before, but here I am. Misty is a two and a half year old gelding, Red Dun Roan Pinto, bred by me. I started working with him seriously (ground manners)about six weeks ago, but did not intend going any further until the spring...

OK, we had some snow and the UK ground to a halt. It will sound hilarious to those of you that have deep snow and cope, but we just have NO way of coping. Even parts of Scotland, where they are ready for it and get it every year, are not coping. I am frozen solid, at home and at the horses...

If you have a moment, could you take a quick look and tell me what you think? All comments are appreciated, there is no "right" or "wrong" here, I want to know as much what I have got wrong as what I have got right!!
