    shetland not pooing

    Yup, she's right. Poor little pony will have sevear tummy ache by now. Get a syring (an old worming one will do) and mix some water with some baking soda and syring down her throat. It wont do any harm if it doesnt work but it should make her release some gas. The reason why she isn't pooing...

    Feeding the Hot Horse

    According to vets advice: one should not feed immediatey after exercise because a) as said by CJ1 and b) circulation takes a while to return back from muscle work to organs e.g, stomach and intestine. Hence the cramps - or colic. One hour is reccomended. I don't spend all of my time with my...

    Has anyone else seen the 3 horses on M4 just after Jnct 17??

    I dont want to blow the whistle yet, but I've seen 2 ponies and 1 (recently aquired) horse living in a very small field on the M4 just off Jnction 17 (west bound). The field has a man made large pond/small lake but the banks are very steep and for all I know it could be fenced off from the...

    Neglect.

    Well done you. I'm sure you are so pleased with the result and the horses will be eternally grateful that at least someone noticed their plight and actually did something about it. I often see horses and ponies during my travels who look not quite rright and stop to see if they are ok. I've...

    Horse put down after blade attack ...

    Are these kids on drugs or something - I mean how could they - its just awful. Times are changing and I'm afraid its only going to get worse. I remember when several years ago there were attacks on horses in my area (then Hants). The police thought it was something to do with the occult - just...

    does this sound right to anyone?

    Might be young and might be nice but sounds as though she has her priorities wrong - smoking when she has no funds to pay for feed? You didn't say how old she was? I can understand horse being on haylage - if he really has to - but unless its big bale, small bale are V. expensive. Gosh I feel...

    Odd hind leg action. Any ideas?

    i'm sure the whole back end would be affected if its a shiver - or is a shiver different from the shivers?? If I was you I would have him vetted, then at the very least you'll know for future reference, which ever decision you make for this chap.

    I like this colt but abit too young maybe??.

    The girl in thepicture looks rather tentative? Its likely they have just started and yes, he is more likely to be rising 3 rather than 2. Still a colt, then like said earlier they might had to rather than an option. Nice looking chap. I'm not going to start that how much thread, but how much?!

    Moody mare supplements.. advice please.

    Follow all threads to do with stroppy mares. Similar problem as Lynwood with our american barn set up, our mare hates being stared at by the neighhhhbbours. Has wrecked boards - big hoof shaped chunks missing from wood. We've screened but she is the same - will change stables! Oestress, etc...
