Well done for taking her out :) It will get easier the more you do it and the more trust you build up in her. Keep cracking on and you'll soon feel more confident :)

I know- I too am getting very disheartened with British weather :( One of mine desperately needs to be hacked but he isn't good in wind so for past 2 days haven't been able to and today is even worse :eek:

Thanks for the replies. If anyone could PM me details for the Buckinghamshire one too I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you! Well, he fits the criteria. It is just such a difficult time/decision. My heart says PTS but he isn't that old and so it doesn't sit right with me. I don't agree with selling/loaning as a companion so thought a blood bank might be a better choice but trying to get contact details...

I'm afraid I think I may have to make a difficult decision with one of my horses soon. Due to health reasons he isn't really going to more than a hack, which would be great except he isn't very good to hack :rolleyes: :( I am seriously considering sending him to a blood bank as he is...

Reading this thread has made me very sad :( especially as it could possibly be that time for me too soon with one of mine :( OP-Your boy sounds like an absolute diamond! Thank your lucky stars you got the pleasure of owning and loving him for all these years. If only everybody was like you...

Wow- lucky girl it looks lovely! I think I need an OH like yours ;)

Try putting straw or shavings in box and all way down ramp?

Will up the dose over next few days and see if it makes a difference. He is on fast fibre, alfafa-a, slippery elm, protexin and Egusin. (Has been on the Egusin for a couple of weeks but no improvement yet)

Yes, this is what I'm worried about. Though he has been seen by both osteo and physio in the past month and neither have detected any soreness/tightness around there I don't think? Am going to get them back out anyway I think just to double check.

Thanks very much for the info. Did the Rantacidine help at all? What is Lecithin? Trust me to probably have one of the hardest to treat ulcers! Wouldn't surprise me!

Will research Green Clay, thank you! Thanks for the info. Mine has been on yeesac for about 12 days now and no improvements yet? I will keep him on it for now and see if there are any improvements. It would be lovely if it was that simple for my boy but I fear it may not be :( Starting to...

What is Lifeforce please and is it successful in treating hind gut ulcers or just gastric?

Well my friend started treating her horse with Zantac that she bought from the supermarket just over a week ago and already his girthiness has gone. I actually mentioned this to vet and said did she think it'd be worth doing. She looked a bit bemused but said yes, worth a try. She said she...

My horse was scoped and diagnosed with grade 2 gastric ulcers 8 weeks ago and also suspected hind gut ulcers. He was re-scoped and gastric ulcers cleared up. His behaivour was much improved however he was still more unhappy/spooky than normal and still girthy. Cue these past 2 weeks or so and...
