By Sue Palmer on October 3, 2021

A Guest Blog by Jan Daley Lunging is all very well, but it’s hard work and it’s borrrrrring.

By Sue Palmer on October 1, 2021

18.9.2021 Jan and Rebel: Part 6

By Sue Palmer on September 18, 2021

_Rebel was now 4. I had noticed_ that Rebel’s hooves were crumbly; easily scored and gouged by the hoof pick, and his frogs “didn’t look right” to me. I now know they were atrophied. He was reluctant...
