Don't hold out too much hope. I have a Dutch mare with two chips neither of which I can trace.

I have a good jumping mare (reg.ISH) and have my eye on a stallion (reg.Belgian Warmblood) for her but I was just contemplating breeding by embryo transfer instead so that I can keep my mare in competition. I have a suitable donor mare (proven broodmare) and aside from the cost of the semen what...

Global Herbs Airways has got one of my livery horses off of long-term ventipulmin & ventolin/becotide inhalers due to an allergy to grass!. Tried loads of other supplements but this was tha only one that made a difference.

Another vote for bran! I've got two horses who had runny bums & half a scoop of bran in am & pm feeds totally resolved the problem in two days.

Sorry that you're having to contemplate this Bounty. I lost one of my horses quite unexpectedly three weeks ago and found the service from these people very good. They are near Cheltenham. http://www.equineandpetservices.co.uk/home.html I was told that as my horse had been on bute cremation...

I just email my national federation and they fax over a permission to compete declaration

Good to see John & Utah on top form this evening in the 1.50 speed class!

From memory I think that you turn the clippers on and tighten the tension and then back it off until the tone of the clippers change. Not very precise and needs a bit of fine tuning. Hence why I swapped to Lister!

Ship, Can you PM me the suppliers details please?

As title really. Spent all afternoon trying to source shavings or something that I can put on top of deep litter shavings bases with no luck. Came across http://www.liverpoolwoodpellets.co.uk and just wondered if anyone else had used them as they seem very similar to other pelleted bedding. Do...

Mick Murphy - 16.1hh approx 11yo bay gelding by Jurado. Bred by Mrs. C. Roper/Ireland - raced April '02-Jun '06 and then apparently hunted with the North Hereford Hunt. Purchased by a friend of a friend from Ascot Sales as a 'lorry filler'. Consigned to the sale by Millfield House owned by...

Your vet should be able to take a fresh sample of faeces and have it analysed for any traces of blood which would indicate gastric inflammation or irritation - costs about £20 so much cheaper than scoping. If there is a lot of blood present then it would be worth scoping. We have a couple of...

I had Dominick stable and turnout rugs for my horses a couple of years ago. I liked the shoulder dart and the minimal fastenings but I found that the theory of the so-called self-righting webbing between the outer and inner layers was a good idea but didn't work and every rug slipped sideways -...

One of my horses was diagnosed with gastric ulcers and put on GastroGard, my vet recommended that when the insurance stopped paying to swap to Equine America UGard and V-Biotic as it gives the same results. It's much much cheaper and my horse is just as comfortable on it as she was on GastroGard.
