We rented a house that was advertised and rented under the belief that it was a 4 bedroom house. One of the rooms was a sleep out not attached to the house. After we moved in it was discovered that the sleep out is not live-able. It is damp and full of mildew and there are holes in the roof. Not to mention no source of light. We talked to the landlord about this and she claims that she warned us the house was a bit of a **** hole before we moved in. My question is, if we were to have someone certify the sleep out as unlive-able, would we be entitled to a quarter of our rent back as we are paying for four rooms.

I have noticed that a lot of people get mad and defensive when they encounter some one who holds different views about how to keep horses. I think that all over the world people keep their horses in different ways, but that doesn't make it the wrong way, as long as the horse is healthy and happy.

For example, I live in New Zealand. My horses are kept out at grass 24/7 all year round. In winter I feed additional hay and rug them and in summer my horses get a chaff mix if they are doing hard work and a fly sheet if there are a lot of flies around. There are not a lot of stables in NZ, although I think this is changing as we are being greatly influenced by Europe.

I mostly ride on the beach, in the hills and forrest and in winter I hunt my horse (although in NZ we hunt hares because we don't have foxes). I have never ever ridden my horses in an arena or put them in a stable, infact until I came to europe, i had never ever even mucked out a stable! But both my horses are healthy and happy.

In NZ I think Clydie X TB are fairly popular horses as they are generally good all round horses, with calmness, strength, stamina, strong bone, and levelheadedness which is required in eventing, trekking, hunting, jumping etc, which is all very popular in NZ.

Im just wondering, where do you come from and how do you keep your horse? what is popular in terms of breeds and disciplines? and do you consider there to be a wrong way to keep a horse?

I would love to hear about the different ways horses are kept around the world because maybe I will learn something new, which is always a good thing!

Im heading off to the UK for five months by myself and am wondering what would be more convenient to pack my stuff in, a backpack or a suitcase? I will probably be staying in youth hostels for a few weeks and then will find myself a flat. what is more convenient? please help as I dont want to be struggling with my luggage when I arrive there.

Thanks

I am thinking about purchasing a gorgeous talented horse that has been scoped and diagnosed as a grade three roarer. Can anyone tell me what this is and how it will affect the horse? Also anyone out there who has owned a roarer before can you tell me how you dealt with it, and what kind of vet attention would it need, eg: regular vet attention or not? I know there is a surgery available to fix it but I was wondering how a horse would cope with out it?

Thanks for any help

My instructor has started teaching me to ride a demivolte, but I am struggling to get my horse to maintain a steady canter rhythm through the half circle part as well as make it a smooth circle. He keeps breaking to trot at the turn and I need some tips on how to ride this properly and smoothly before my next lesson so I can work on it and hopefully get it better. Thanks for any help!

I'm going to England for five months, and arrive there in July. I know that it is summer time then and what I really want to know is how warm does it get? I know how cold it gets there in winter but will summer be warm enough for shorts and sandals and singlets or should I take a lot of warm clothes and just a few 'summer' clothes?

Also whats in fashion over there at the moment?

Thanks for any help you can give me!

I'm thinking of doing a working pupil course at a place like Trent Park Equestrian center. What would a general day be like? Also is there a certain standard of knowledge and ability that you need before they would consider taking you on? Is there anybody out there who has done a working pupil course and would you recommend anything or anywhere to train?

I'm planning to go to London for a five month working holiday and am hoping to work with horses there, not necessarily riding but just working with or around horses. Should I get my instructor to write me a reference? and what should I ask her to talk about? Obviously i cant tell her what to write but what should I ask her to cover? Also any tips on applying for jobs with horses in England, what are they looking for? Like i said, i dont mind if i dont get to ride as long as I get to work around horses, i dont mind if all I have to do all day is muck out.....

Thanks for any help!

I have a Dutch passport and a new zealand passport. do I need a visa to work and travel in England?

I'm unsure due to the currency differences

I ask this because I am unsure if the UK is included in the EU area due to the different currencies.

I am actually from New Zealand and have both a New Zealand and a Dutch passport as my mother is dutch

Also i would like to travel to England as soon as possible, what kind of things would I need to organise besides the ticket obviously. are there any sites or something that can help me find a job and accomodation?

thanks. for any help!

any songs or particularly good pianists that you think I should give a listen to? Thanks for any recommendations!

I would like to lose weight, I currently weigh 182pounds and am 5'9.

I have access to an elliptical strider, horse riding, a 20minute Pilate's work out and an hour long Pilate's work out.

I love fruit and veges, but am a vegetarian including fish and chicken.

what would be a good weekly diet and exercise routine that will help me to lose weight and keep it off... I would like to do this steadily rather than speedily. I think I have realistic goals and would like to get down to about 145pounds.

HELP??? Thank you!

Hi, just working on some things and was wondering if anyone has some tips for sitting trot and making transitions smoother and easier. I'm having some trouble relaxing my seat and especially going back to a trot from a canter. Any help would be great. Thanks

I've seen that it comes out in the fall but when is that? I come from New Zealand and am unsure about what that means. And can anyone give me a date? Thanks

can anyone give me any info on Tom Sturridge? Just saw him in like minds, cool movie.... anyway another question also, and kind of weird but can anyone please tell me how tall he is? thanks!

Often when googling I find movies that have a tag next to it saying that it is in post production. What does this mean? does it mean that it has finished filming and they are editing or something? thanks
