Hi all, I have a stocky 5yo Lusitano X Traditional Cob with a fairly short neck who has just started jumping courses of 80/90cm. The plan is to compete BE when I feel we are ready. He has plenty of scope and is forward to a fence. My issue is that he loses respect of the bit and can run over...

Wow, now that I like! It's on my list to put through the CHAPS data base later thank you :D

Also I forgot to say... Lusitanos are generally named after the letter assigned to their year of birth - his would be the letter 'i' His name could be anything at all, this information is just to help get ideas going :)

I'm hoping to overstamp my new youngsters passport with CHAPS and I will need to find a show name for him... I have thought of a lot but I'm just not happy with them so I was hoping you all might have new ideas?! To help... His current passport name is his stable name "Santos". He's a blue...

I've been reading reports on that too! I think I can get my hands on that easily so will give it a go! X

The vet is treating him currently... he had choke, was dull and depressed, and white nasal discharge. I think we caught it quickly as he was vetted wednesday and he arrived within 24 hours and that is when the clinical signs developed. Its more for future whether everytime I take him into...

He definitely won't be going anywhere now... I am just worried because he's been run down enough to have the virus present in him whether it will be a continual weakness he has :(

Thank you I will definitely have a look into it

So really what I'm asking is... is he going to be continually ill throughout his life?

When I've traced back through his owner history it's known I am the 6th owner in 12 weeks... can't get much stressful for a 3yo He had choke, nasal discharge and was generally depressed hence the swab being tested and came back positive for EHV-1 Vet says there is nothing we can do as such...

Just bought a horse who became suddenly ill. He tested positive for EHV-1 and the vet has said he should recover fine on his own bit if his immune system deteriorates it could resurface later in life (like a cold sore) Has anyone any experience with this?

I bought a horse last week and he has the EHV-1 virush. He's being treated but the vet says it can come back in later life... The best way to help him is to keep his immune system as strong as possible. What do people recommend in way of feed stuff? Thanks

I'm sort of looking but not looking at the minute as we haven't found our perfect farm/land yet so not in any rush but when we do I will certainly start to put more feelers out! :)

So sorry for your loss! hope you're ok!

hi, when I have found a horse I will do that! thank you for the offer but for now im still horse hunting :)
