Have the vet always inject in the bum, I made that mistake last time and my girl suffered for it.

I have a very fair Haflinger mare who looks practically palomino. She's suffered from a severe allergic reaction to fly bites. I've got a show booked in a few weeks which I can't cancel. By that stage of the bites healing she'll still have bald spots and a few scabs. Has anyone had any luck...

Don't worry, I'm not going to follow someone's advice blindly on a subject as important as nutrition. I have Co ducted my own research and contacted a few nutritionists. I simply wanted to find out about different products on the market.

I understand that pony nuts is not enough, nor will it build fitness. That is why I am making the change. I simply want a diet that is more nutritious to support muscle growth and all round health. More turnout isn't an option, as the grass is very rich in my area, and her having had laminitus...

She is literally right on weight at 455kg, so really all I need is something to regulate weight and build fitness. The only feed she has right now is a 1/2 a scoop of pony nuts.

Routine: She is fed haylage and has 2hts of turn out during the day She is laminitus prone so needs a low starch sugar and feed, but is in decent work so needs something slightly substantial. I'm trying to fix the issue of her mane and tail being fragile and falling out, which I know is down to...

Hi. We are looking to put a new layer of surface on our arena as at the moment we have that awful orange builder's sand that turns into mud in the blink of an eye. Probably looking for a fluffy sort of layer which doesn't create puddles and go like mud basically. Needs to be cheep. Any...

This is the funniest thread I've ever read. If you guys are gonna give advice at least be serious.. but it did make for great comedy! Why the hell does the gelding have a filly with him? No no no. That sounds like a recipe for disaster. As for bolting, you shouldn't have gone out after only...

A couple of years ago I fell off twice in quick succession; my hips took the fall both times. I have internally bruised both hips and consequently my hips can't take a lot of pressure. I love to jump. I just got a loan pony to jump and its causing a lot of strain on my hips. can anyone suggest...

You just have to set yourself small specific goals; and set aside specific days and times to go down and ride. If you need to you can make yourself a training plan; and if you need any help consult a trainer as to what activities you need to do to keep him fit enough. Definitely look in the...

I to measure her today for a gulet for both wintec and thorowgood. However I found she went way off the charts in reality probably needing an xxx wide saddle. Anyone know any saddles that would suit this size? I am open to going treeless.

Are thorowgood or maxam saddles any good?

I have a 13.2 Welsh Sec C pony that needs a saddle. She has a table top back which makes life so much harder when looking for saddles. She Has a tiny back so would need a 15-15.5 inch saddle. I need to find a cheaper one or a second hand one. Is there any place to buy second hand saddles in...

I have a very very wide backed halflinger cob mare; to the point where an extra wide wintec saddle pulled out at its very farthest won't fit her. I have had a treeless saddle I have been using, however now that I have worked over 50 kilos of fat off her, it slips. Because she is a rescue horse...
