Basically just wondering if anyone has any experience using this balancer and if anyone finds it good? I'm currently using topspec which is £33.90 and this is £20.10 so considering the swap to save a bit of money. I've heard a few people say good things about it, but as far as I'm aware its...

Hi my pony had this and I cleaned it out with anti-fungal wash then sprayed iodine on it. It worked amazingly and cleared up very fast! I also started using biotin in his feeds to strengthen his hooves up.

Great thank you! My friend just worried me the other day when she said she had all this feed advice at badminton for her horse and I suddenly thought maybe what I was feeding wasn't best for him but to be honest he isnt particularly fussy! I'll definately take the advice about the extra protein...

Hi, I have a 14.2 21 yr old pony. At the moment I feed him oats and dengie healthy hoof chaff. He has no problems with his weight but I was just wondering if there was something more beneficial I could feed him? The thing is I'm reluctant to feed any 16+ feed as he is still in medium work and...
