    Opinions of Humane girths?

    You have to be really careful as they can overtighten easily. But I had no problems with mine when I was using it on my cob.

    Preventing Parvo

    Hi all, There is currently an outbreak of Parvo in my area :(. Is there anything I can do to prevent my 7 month old puppy from contracting this disease. She has been vaccinated. But a friends 8 month old puppy has caught parvo even though she has been vaccinated. Any advice would be appreciated.

    There seems to be some possitive results from using it. I think my horse and I should give it a go. I will have to take a look at that facebook page.

They drag the claim out for months, you then have to threaten them with court and if your lucky then they will pay. Plus none of the vets practices will work directly with them because they can't get...
