I made my own from a close-clipped sheepskin many years ago, and sewed leather thonging ties on to attach to the D's at the cantle of my stock saddle, and two at the front where the breastplate D's...

Best wishes to all for a happy (or at least bearable day) in the Christmas chaos :)

Just hideous, inhumane and unconscionable let alone totally unethical on any level.....

All responsibility back on the truck driver to prove a variety of claims.

Oh for heavens sake, what rubbish saying I only think people do bad things...how simplistic.
And all that implication that I don't see the other side....rubbish, you are assuming you think you know...

Oh hey Shoe Man, posting that vid was rather tongue in cheek....and it's meant to reflect how future generations will view this era, and there is a lot to think about what we do and how we do it; and...

I thought the juxtaposition of two speakers with opposing viewpoints was a good format.
I really respected the equine vet, who quite objectively and calmly explained how he had come to do a complete...

There is a real world beyond our personal bubbles. Some of us choose to discuss some aspects, what's the problem with that? Certainly the content is confronting, but if you don't like a thread or...

Yes, tgh we do. Rose-coloured glasses numb reality.

But, Fyadara this IS how humans treat other species...it is what happens, it's not my opinion, it's factual evidence, easily found on the web,...

Bats I think you've gone off on a bit of a tangent there, but perhaps so did I....if we were all lacking empathy it would be a worthless world.

I was referring to how we as a species treat other...

Its a fact that breeds have inherent traits. Something all dog owners should consider, but don't often.

It's also a fact that many bogans (and dumb people with no clues as to the potential danger...

Definitely previous epochs have been brutal....the point is that we (homo sapiens) are meant to have evolved and be the superior species, but look at what we do, it's unconscionable in terms of other...

That dog is beautiful mindari, I love ACD's. Every breed has bad examples, don't talk to me about Rottweilers or Pit Bulls....

It's the age of Athropocene Obscene....disconnect and no or little empathy for other living species. Brings your head undone.

Will leave it at that as subject is too depressing.

I think you are doing awesomely gb. I really love your horse, she's energetic, wants to move, has nice impulsion, her ears are forward, she's listening, wants to please....and you are sitting that...

Agree mindari....be interesting to know what Winx's muscle count is!

Aa I get you....and used to be involved with racehorses, who are bred and trained to gallop, and to do what they have to do,...

Everest...flashy new race to drag punters back into believing in the so-called excitement and joy of horse racing (in response to falling race attendances by the public). Should it feature on the...

Williams is suing, stonewalling at its best. 'Not in the public interest' .....oh really?

You could try a big rock in the middle, so she can't get a good swing up to displace the water? But....that will replace water volume and necessitate more checks during the day maybe....

It's carbon monoxide poisoning aa....'failing to provide adequate ventilation' and 'airflow' or checks and monitoring...not stated, but implicit. Some ponies copped a serious and deadly lungful,...

Yes, sadly, as I thought. No checks en route....indefensible. Absolutely. And how will they wrangle defence statements...let's wait and see.
