Hi, thank you for the info. I don't as a matter of course trot on roads, go fast on hard ground, I don't jump very often as it's not our thing, and only on surfaces, I don't compete on grass only arenas. She is on a good supplement, my vet approved, also turmeric. I have magnetic boots, she is...
Hiya, yes cracking on its own not a problem and as yet she is not bothered by it and is still working fine. But my vet said its due to less fluid in the joint capsule so there is wear and tear going on. All older horses and humans will have this but with other symptoms is a sign of arthritis and...
I have a wow. Bought it off ebay for £1000. A dressage saddle. I knew what I wanted after talking with a wow saddle fitter. To qualify as a wow saddler you have to do a weeks resedential course so in theory could be a fitter after that but most are already qualified and add this to fitting...
