Would his suspected hip problem be something I need to disclose if I haven't had anyone professional diagnose it? It's just been speculation from friends etc so far. Would they exclude his front left due to the abscess? Or do they only exclude if something more serious/ ongoing? Thanks

My 9yr old Warmblood has huge hooves. His fronts are fine but his back seem to have very wide frogs at the base of the hoof. After taking him hacking for approx 7miles (just steady in walk and a tiny bit of trot) he started limping really badly as soon as I got back to the yard. We...

We own a 9yr old Warmblood who I'm looking to insure. We've had him exactly a year now, uninsured and have had to have the vet out twice in total, firstly for an abscess in his front left (all ok now), and again on Monday as he was limping after a hack- diagnosed by the vet as shoes that are...

Stupid question alert... So we've only had our warmblood for about ten weeks, he was last shod about 4-5weeks ago, his front left is a white hoof so I know that it will be weaker than the rest but I wanted some advice about whether it's time to call the farrier out to have him re-shod or not...

Hi, My Warmblood's frogs have become soft and a little sensitive some days with all the wet weather we've been having. He usually lives out and just gets brought in daily to have his feed and to pick his feet out, do general checks etc. He is shod on all hooves and is not lame at all...

Just to update you all... The vet has been out this morning and has said it's sinusitis. He's got a 5 day course of antibiotics and can be turned out in the day but kept in at night. She said feeding him from the floor, including his hay would be good for loosening off the mucous and is happy...

Okay, Thanks... Fingers crossed it's something similar and manageable like this.

Thanks, this is more reassuring that I'm just overreacting haha, does your pony's glands swell up too with this or just snotty? And is it both nostrils?

Have spoken to the emergency vet who doesn't think it's worth an emergency call out. Probably sinusitis or respiratory infection in her opinion. Keeping him separated off from the other horses for now and will check him tomorrow morning and night to see if there's any change. Will be getting...

No it doesn't smell, would his gland still be swollen if it was to do with his teeth?

Hi, need people's advice on what they think might be up with my horse. He has thick yellow snot coming out of his left nostril and a swollen left gland, but no cough or loss of appetite. He seemed a bit grumpy today but hasn't been off his food or coughing whilst I've had him in and will let...

Thanks, they would be for everything, turn out, schooling, hacking and low level eventing eventually... I'm thinking I'm going to have a good pair and a turn out pair cuz they'll get ruined in the field but just wanted to find something that fits before I buy a couple of sets

Thanks for the heads up, will keep these in mind :) Sarah

Thanks for the tip and link... Will take a look at these, fingers crossed they will fit :) Sarah

Thanks! Will have a look at these now. Sarah
