Thanks. I need to feed twice a day due to medication for his allergies so maybe grass nuts? X

Hi can anyone help. I’ve phoned around many feed companies and they all seem to be at a loss. My thoroughbred has been suffering from ulcers, headahaking and diarrhoea, spooking. Even after learning ulcers the behaviour didn’t change so he was cut scanned and showed sinusitis. His has been...

At the end of the month we are packing up and moving 60 miles to Cheshire. Northwich area, Im looking to find a new farrier as mine obvisouly wont be able to do us anymore. I have three horses but only one shod and he's an ex racer who although has had great feet he's recently had terrible corns...

i had my chestnut in the brown and my dark bay in the blue or the brown. x

thanks for all your comments. I'm obviously worried about getting it wrong again and inevitably causing more issues for my boy, its such a minefield. My budget will be more like £1200 possibly a bit more dependent on Xmas pressies, unfortunately cant afford £3000 although ive probably spent that...

Im looking at getting a made to measure saddle for my thoroughbred. So far every off the peg saddle thats been fitted has caused back issues so ive decided its time to go m2m even if he does change shape eventually. Fit and comfort is most important. Hes a young tb, never raced with a nice back...

my horse has damaged both hind suspensory ligaments and after shock wave and rest and bringing into slow return to work hes showing signs of them still causing pain. after nerve blocks today the vets feel that surgery is the best option for him. Has anyone any experience of this and if so jow...

im looking to get a dressage saddle for my high withered tb who has kissing spines managed with exercise. fit is ultra important as always and my usual saddler is just so hard to get hold of. im looking at getting him an ideal as his gp is and ideal and he goes well in this. Does anyone have any...

my lad has only ever done the odd head shake for flies in mid summer season but the last 2 rides ive had hes been bothered alot more by flies and today shook his head the whole ride and at one point reared when i tried to get him to stand and wait and he was getting surrounded by flies. ive...

both my boys have arthritic changes, one to his hocks and now compensatory in other joints, the other has kissing soine and sacroiliac problems. ive had them both on premierflex for a few months now and before that i had one on naf superflex which i think i was probably better, to be honest the...

my horse gets the same recently and does blow down his nose when exercising aswell, (not frequently but def every ride) ill be interested to see what people think. his discharge can be slimy or white. annax

sadly i cant turn china away for any amount of time as hes currently rehabing and needs to be exercised every day to try and get him through his injuries otherwise i would take his shoes off. his feet were horrendous when i got him very flared and they are very small, also the farrier struggles...

I have a 9 year old tb whom ive had 7 months, his feet were pretty crappy, very low heeled, long toes and flat footed when i got him, we are slowly working at getting them a better shape but they are cracking awfully around the nail holes. so much so that hes lost a shoe this week. i have...
