Thank you, I will contact them and see what they can do :)

Yes I will get him vetted, if only for insurance (if I can get him insured), I'm not a big fan of vettings but I would be more cautious on this occasion due to his age. Looking forward to seeing him again, I've also got a couple more to see but this boy ticks so many boxes :)

Beautiful, quality saddle and bridle, rugs etc, I don't know why I'm worrying really!! He is quite amazing :)

He competes very well at 85cm, X country, dressage, hunts, absolutely fit as a fiddle, 14.2hh, no insurance exclusions, no claims, price £3k inc full wardrobe.

He is a pony but a big full up fella, we would be his last home as I wouldn't personally sell a pony any older or even at his age. Can I write off the money? Not sure I can really however I have a young field ornament so have a very different perspective now - I'm not sure age matters, yes it...

Yes I would say kind and forgiving. Does everything beautifully if you ride him correctly. Push button sort. He is so fit I suspect that he would go on for years to come barring unforeseen injuries.

He is a Pony Club schoolmaster, teenagers dream sort; hacks and is non-spooky.

How much would be too much for a 17 year old schoolmaster? no lumps or bumps, sound, fit and in work, competes and wins, eager and generally a lovely sort. Comes very well recommended.

Thank you for that - my vet said that he didn't think supplements would improve her symptoms any more than the injections, however he said it wouldn't hurt to try - so I'll give that a go - I think I'll try it for me too!

That's very sad, I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I think with these types of problems PTS is eventually inevitable. My vet is usually so upbeat and I saw the warning sign when he phoned me and already mentioned PTS. He asked me if I had ever had a shoulder injury as that would give me...

Oh that indeed is so very sad. I feel terrible for both of us and our lovely mares who are both far too young. And yes, looking for that miracle. I scrutinise my girl every day trying to see if she has improved or not although I am sure I am now hypersensitive to any changes as I'm looking too...

I am so sorry to hear about your boy. I will ask veterinary when he comes to see her next week - I hadn't heard of this and like you say, it may be awkward due to location but it's definitely worth an ask. Cost hopefully will be covered by insurance but if not, she costs me nothing otherwise so...

Sorry I seem to have replied to you as a separate entry further down - the post asking about your mare is the one I meant to answer you with. I'm a numpty!

Thank you for your reply. It's just so devastating isn't it? What is happening with your mare? You want to best by them but it's hard to know what is the best particularly when they just don't seem to show any pain. I gave her her second cartrophen injection today and she just stood there and...

Hi, I have just had my horse diagnosed with ocd of her shoulder and will be giving her second dose of cartrophen tomorrow. She has her third dose next week. She has also had corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid injection into the affected shoulder. What is happening with your horse?
