Cool cool
Being part-time farmers is where it is at
Fair enough... Most vets are fine tbh. True but if your profession is dealing with animals then you need to be prepared to deal with animals imo.
Usually my main gripe is they overdo the sedative so my 500 kg horse (that's my small one, my main boy will
be 700-750kg) is properly wobbling due to the sedative, like out for the count basically and i'm having to hold it's head up and stop it keeling over.
I realise they err on the side of caution but still annoying.
At the end of the day, if you are scared of animals don't work with them.
I've been crushed by a 750kg horse (one we were bringing on to sell), both my horses rear right up and whip round instantly (pros had her before me and described her as 'sharp'
etc etc. Man the **** up and get back on/find a vein or give it a whack.
They are pricey but we'll happily pay as long as they are punctual and provide decent care.
Haha, i genuinely would but you are based in the SW of England are you not? I'm SW Scotland bro
Bought my most recent horse from Taunton so perhaps nearish to you (relatively speaking?)
An easy 3hr 30 drive.... At 70mph of course
