Not going to comment on what the hospital has prescribed, as I'm not a vet, and I have ultimate respect for the job they do. However, a full sachet per day is a 500kg horse dose, so it could be that they have prescribed it at a higher dose because of what she's had done, and the infection that...

I'd cool your jets a bit before firing off an official complaint - maybe just ask the vet first if it was the correct dose for your pony first A sachet of Trim is a daily dose for a 500kg horse, so a 10g dose x2pd isn't beyond the realms of possibility if the pony is very small.

What actually happened? It's hard to comment without knowing the circumstances surrounding the accident? What did they do wrong - in your opinion?

I know! At least the latter is thoroughly deserved! Poor old Bruno absolutely didn't deserve the "dangerous" label!

I've got him on Hills Lamb and Rice Puppy at the moment, and he's doing really well on it. He thinks life is for romping, not for standing around eating, and this is one of the few foods that he is actually interested in eating!

Idris humped the Amazon delivery guys leg yesterday. Thankfully he was a sensible one, and just laughed and pushed him off!

I don't feel that it's my responsibility as a YO to put manners on a horse that has none, but for my own safety, I make sure that any undesirable behaviour is dealt with pdq after a horse arrives here. They need to walk when I walk, stop when I stop, move away from me when I ask them to, and not...

I have one here on it, and it's really suiting her. She's a showjumper, inclined to being a bit ulcery and prone to mild spasmodic colics, but it seems to keep everything under control in the gut department. She's looking fantastic, and isn't anything like as spicy as she gets on other feeds...

How much hay are they getting in the field, and is she getting free access to it (not being bullied off it)? I know it's tough when you've got college to juggle, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if your vet says that she needs multiple small feeds per day in addition to ad lib forage that is...

You don't need to wait for a weighbridge to get her sorted with food. She is very thin, so she needs a vet (which I can see you've arranged) and she needs either more, or better food. What are you feeding her at the moment

Idris got a Kong Wubba a few weeks ago. Loved it to bits, literally.

I have these - which I bought because they go much taller than most off the peg - but looking at the size guide, they have short options too. They're nice looking boots - not the most premium quality, but I wouldnt expect it at the price...

Idris destroys virtually every single toy I give him. Sometimes it takes him a few months to get round to it. Sometimes it's straight away. He then gets very upset that his "favourite" toy has been reduced to shreds The only ones that are still in one piece are various rope toys, the Kong and...

He sure does. He's very committed to playing reary bitey face, which has always been a big hit with all my boys

Not my baby - he's a livery. V well bred warmblood, who is going to be a dressage horse when he grows up!
