Not a ghost but I believe he may of contacted me. The three nights after his death I had three unusual experiences , the first was like a bell ringing I had the whole house up looking for the cause but we never did figure it out, the only thing it could of been is his curb chain on his bridle...

I had this with my boy he wouldn't settle without his friend and would jump up and down on his bad leg ! I brought him lots of toys but the best thing I invested in was a stable mirror .He thinks it's another horse and often stands by it now. It didn't completely solve it but he was calm enough...

My cat is an ex yard cat. He disappeared for a week and came back on three legs . Vet agreed that we think he was caught in something . He of course was taken straight to the vets but strictly speaking he wasn't are cat as we just look after them . Vets where very good with the bill and...

I have a made to measure farrington I think it's a vsd I can't remember but it's straighter cut so I can show in it too! I love it , I had three saddlers out to fit my horse and two others made to measure which didn't fit her!! She's a flat backed, very wide, non withered Arab who has a big...

My mare had something similar at the beginning of last year. She was lunged by us and the vets though at the time they thought that there may of been intestine looped over the spleen. She was eventually taken into the vets where they lunged and tubed her regularly she would perk up and then go...

My old boy was on spillers high fibre cubes and sixteen plus mixed into a warm mash. Think he had bran in there to, to help with his digestion. At night he had a mixture of hifi senior , Alfa a and hifi original . He seemed to do well on this and I have found high fibre cubes to work on my other...

Agree with the saddle comments I had a made to measure saddle for my mare and had ridden her at home in it fine. The first show I took her to In the warm up she was acting strange I got off and she went vertical something she had never done before or since and I've owned her over ten years! When...

My vets didn't recommend it at all ! I fully expected to have to walk him after his box rest . However vets decided it was an incredibly bad idea after his little stay with them as was often across their yard towing two nurses whilst 8/10ths lame !! My hyper pony however I did walk I...

Just thought I would update they have gone down completely tonight!

Thanks for the replies, fransurrey I wondered about this as I think her glands where up that night too ( not unusual they come up regularly) I will monitor her closely I did check for pulses as since my other horse damaged his foot its almost the first thing I do after looking for wounds! I...

I have a 17 year old mare who I noticed Saturday morning had slightly filled back legs. I wasn't overly worried its unusual for her but not unheard of so I turned her out thinking they would go down. However they hadn't gone down and this morning she had tree trunk back legs and one puffy front...

My mare disliked my farriers last apprentice used to play him up something rotten ! She likes quiet people and he was just too loud for her! The new boyfriend I don't think she's to keen on , she's played him up leading when she's normally excellent with newbies walking extra extra slow for...

My difficult loader travels naked , by the time he's on the lorry/trailer his boots would be round his fetlocks flapping about causing more trouble! My mare always in boots and rug if in a trailer ( she's ripped a rug coming out a trailer and I was thankful she was wearing it) She does how...

I confess to know nothing about ks , but I was in a situation 2 years ago where the vet had given up on my boy! He's quirky hard to handle and is not good with pain. He hadn't come sound fast enough for their liking and at two tenths lame they pretty much told me that was it ( having come from...

I'm having this problem ;) though mines an Arab I've never seen I rib in the 10 years I've owned her cant quite believe I can see them! Though seeing them (more than one)is a problem for me ,now back to the confusing issue of actually having to feed her !!!
