I hope Alf doesn't cause too much havoc over the bridge whilst he's waiting. Be kind to yourself and enjoy the memories. You did him proud

Kings Sombourne Tilton on the hill (?)

I'm not sure what I'm looking for - he's just gone flat and lost his pizzaz The pea protein looks interesting and I'd forgotten about oil. I guess it's going to be trial and error Thank you for your thoughts

Sorry, life is a bit stressy at the moment and my mind is a blank Horse diagnosed with sub clinical laminitis about a month ago and has responded well to his new regime. At the moment he is on no turnout as we are introducing one thing back at a time, but is ridden in the morning and either...

Haha! Inside I'm stamping my foot and sulking!!

You're right I didn't want to hear that, but I appreciate straight talking and sometimes a slap upsides the head is needed! I'm listening. I'll treat him as a laminitic - he has already improved for not being out at night - and see where that takes us. Thank you all for your thoughts and...

I was prepared to not compete for a while - dressage, doesn't need to go out until August - but I don't think I realised much how it would impact the training. I'm totally happy to boot (he has fronts) and only needs to be sound on a surface and in the field. Maybe I'm being naive. Anyway - no...

The horse is 11 a Tb x we suspect Connemara. A good doer. His backs came off at the beginning of December and I love how flat and uncrevased the frogs have become. The concavity is slower coming. I'm very happy to boot to hack, as I'm aware I don't do enough to condition properly and he has...

Has anyone used hoof cast to help with transitioning? Fronts have been off since beginning of March and the horse has been footy, then came good on a surface, but needed boots for hacking. With a little rain - although grass has been restricted - he has gone very footy again. The diet is foot...

I don't think that anyone who has hung around here for a while, will have any doubt that you ALWAYS have the horses best interest at heart. Sorry for your heartache, brave lady x

They are great I have just bought some from a friend and google showed them at £8.95 at most places if anyone is interested in getting some.

Thank you all for your thoughts - much to investigate! For someone brought up feeding straights it's a minefield switching to a different regime. Exciting though! Again thank you for taking the time to respond

I'm about to remove the front shoes in the next month - hinds came off in November - and I'm looking to tweak the diet. He came being fed Topspec balancer and ulsakind which I haven't changed as he looked a million dollars on it, but I see it is very heavy on soya which I understand isn't good...

Ooops I long-lined out of my stable and through the barn this morning. Everyone gave priority to the horse and I smiled and thanked. Our barn of 12 whether led, ridden, long-lined or pushed about in a barrow the horse has priority and right of way. If someone accidentally startles a horse by...

Could you pass details please
