The top photo is my mare early 2018 and the bottom photo is her last Saturday 2020. It’s been a long process and 3 laminitis episodes but it’s been the kindest thing for my mare. Too many horses are fat and it’s my biggest regret with Tag, watching her in pain. Not the best photo of her but...

I have the GreenGuard but with a fieldsafe head collar rather than the actual headcollar, my mare is a Houdini. A friend on my yard uses the actual headcollar with the muzzle and neither of us have noticed one is better than the other. We have noticed however we would never change from a...

Boett rug 100%. Tried every lotion and potion that was out there, I found kill-itch by Carr Day & Martin was probably the best lotion I have tried. I even tried different feeds but the Boett Rug has helped my mare have a normal summer. It is quite pricey but it’s more than worth the money for...

I have two mares, polar opposites. When I say this, I well and truly mean it, colour, personality, attitude, bravery. They could not be further apart, Tag loves anything, if it gives her attention she adores it. However Ebony my other mare hates everything! To be fair, she doesn't hate...

Oh wow! I'll do this now.

I'll take a sample and send it off, see what they say, just sent my mare weird. Thanks!

Thanks all, going to muzzle her regardless and I'm hoping she associates the muzzle with going out in the field, do you all keep the muzzle on all year round or just until the grass is down?

Both my mares are fed on this and the TopSpec Lite Balancer as I still have some left over, my plan was to get rid as they advised the Molasses Free was a complete feed, my first mare is Lami prone due to EMS, she is fine weight wise (now), lacks energy sometimes but this is due to her nature...

Hello all, I am wanting opinions if you muzzle on the first day of turnout and how long do you keep the muzzle on for? Bit of background: Turnout in the large grass fields don't start until second week of May each year until first week of November, the fields are rested over winter so our...

Hello, I have two on DIY (my YO does feed/ put out in the morning but nothing else) From May to October the horses are out in the field from 8am to 6pm during the week, this isn't too bad as stated YO puts them in the field over summer and I get there with enough time to do all jobs before...

Hello, I am wanting to know what I should be feeding my 15.1 Cob x ISH, she currently weighs around (600kg) which is overweight for her and I am working on getting her weight down. For info I have a 14.3 Cob with recovering lami/EMS who is on 6kg of soaked HAY a day. I do have the option to...
