Thanks guys! I'll turn the tap down a little bit tomorrow and keep an eye on it. I'm such an overthinker!

Thanks guys, It's the pressure in the hose I'm worried about. As it's connected to the tap via a hose. I suppose I'm thinking it's like having a garden hose with a nozzle on the end. If you close the nozzle but leave the tap on and leave it for a period of time the pressure can push the nozzle...

I got a fantastic automatic water trough for my birthday which I've managed to connect with a hose this afternoon. Really pleased with it but now I'm sitting at home worrying that the pressure will back up and force water backwards and/or break something. Can anyone tell me if I'm worrying over...

Thanks everyone. I just want her to be comfortable and enjoy life. You're all right, it does make sense and the success stories are amazing. I'll contact Nic and get some more information. Thankyou for your advice.

Are they glued on permanently Flicker? She isn't on the same yard anymore where they restricted turnout. She is in overnight during winter but out everyday no matter the weather and although there is not much grass at the moment she has ad lib hay in stable and field. I do have to be very...

Thankyou for the support guys. I'm not good at quoting on here. YCBM - The vet hasn't really told me much. All I've got from her is that remedial shoeing has really helped (when she looked ta her 2 months after diagnosis) and to push on with work and try and build her back up - she should be...

Thankyou for this. I had in my head it would take like years and years to grow good enough feet as she has been shod all her life. I do believe the concussion from the shoes coupled with bad feet and alot of hard work have let to the outcome.

I think I do need to speak to her. Thanks for your advice. I'm just terrified. Little old me going against vets and farriers. I just don't want to waste years trying to get her feet right when I might not have that long left. Or am I making excuses? It so hard to know what's best!

Did you have to rehab her? She had shoes off for two weeks between x rays and mri scan and she was crippled for the whole time. I'm not against barefoot, it makes sense to me, I'm just trying to decide if the process would be worth it.

HI all, I am a huge lurker on here, I had a posting stint a few years ago and a lot has changed since then. After years of loaning I bought my very own horse 18 months ago. Long story short she is very experienced, she taught me how to ride properly and she has become the love of my life (second...

In my experience (vet nurse) they seem to find the procedure very very painful so it really should be a last resort. However, if it heals they are generally much more comfortable. Would it be bilateral or just one side?

Depends what the vet packed it with. Some types of packing are designed to stay in and just dissolve. Have you got a check up at some point that you can ask?

Hugs, I'm at vet nurse, I've seen some pull through, see if you can spend some time with her at the vets as she will most likely be in isolation and they need TLC xx

Ty!

What's PE please?
