He came sound after cartrophen, wedges, very controlled rehab. 9 months in total. MRI showed a large tear near his fetlock and other diagnostics showed some arthritic changes. He’s been doing really well after a very poor diagnosis, but today he looked ever so slightly uncomfortable - choppy...

Hi, I realise this post was from last year. I’m currently in a very similar situation with my older boy. Any other insight would be very welcome. @HelenBack I hope you had a positive outcome. Xx

It’s sill I have engaged in the past. arranged yard outings, clinics, travelled others on my lorry. I don’t have the time or resources for this now, and it’s reflected in my yard ‘status’. Those who help the yard manager are also given heightened status. I have no capacity these days to meet...

I call that clear communication. ?

Boundaries are good!

I feel you! I’ve been top of the in crowd when I had a posh lorry, organised clinics, won lots of things and had lessons with Olympians who liked my horse. ? Life changes, but I’m still the same person and my boy is still here, albeit semi-retired after surgeries. It does hurt sometimes (that...

Hi All, Obviously not aimed at those who keep their horses at home, but for those who travel, how far/how long is it to get there? My current yard is a mile away from my house. I’ve previously driven to a yard 20 minutes away. I think my limit would be 40 minutes, provided the facilities were up...

Advice please. I ordered a pair of made to measure boots in early March last year. A present to myself after a good result at the winter regionals. Paid £570. So....the zips on said boots were faulty and failed on three occasions on the left boot when trying them on at the shop on...

Hi - I posted the comments about the list of vets five years ago, when I had limited knowledge of AB Sporthorses. All true, but in no way negative - it was the policy at the time, but not sure about now. Since then I have met, watched, seen possibly hundreds of horses from her yard out on the...

Anyone??
