It's interesting that you should say that Tristar as in the months leading up to my horse presenting with his discharge, he too choked on a fairly regular basis... Since he has had his tooth removed he hasn't choked...

I keep mine at home but I go out to them between 6am -7.15am depending on whether it's a weekday or weekend, they are then checked throughout the day (exercised/turned out/hayed etc) and then I do evening stables anytime between 9.30 & 11pm. I couldn't go out to them any later than 7.30am in the...

OP, I could have written your opening post a year ago about my young 4 year old tb. He too started off with a purulent unilateral nasal discharge which disappeared once on antibiotics but then came back with a vengeance once the antibiotics wore off. We had numerous scopes and a head xray which...

Done!

I've just read your letter and your replies on this post and firstly, I just want to say how refreshing it is to see someone as young as you appear to be genuinely keen on horses... Your enthusiasm is lovely and your letter reminds me of something I would have written at your age to my parents...

Hehe!! Thanks, the boy in my banner is my new one and is only 3 but I like to think Benji is equally as cute!! :D It's amazing the improvement they make once they've got hoof boots on! My boy was wearing Cavallos for a few months while he was barefoot... They were amazing!! Like little...

Looking at your first pic & subsequent ones, I would say she looks absolutely fine as she is... My boy is 25 and was diagnosed with Cushings last year and put on Prascend in January. I've noticed he has lost a fair bit of weight & condition since being on the prascend but his quality of life has...

I've fractured my arm/wrist a couple of times and I always play it by ear once I have had my pot taken off... I have tended to be out on the yard anyway once I have a cast on it as I get really impatient so once it is taken off, I always try to resume normal service as quickly as possible but if...

So sorry to read this, you must be absolutely heartbroken... GS is such a vile disease... :(

Very smart young lady... What a nice looking cob!! :)

Really well done, and good luck with your physio course!! :D

What a lovely thread, Bug looks lovely!! He's a very lucky boy to have you.. I hope he continues to go from strength to strength!!:D

Completely agree with you, which is why I no longer insure my yard for vets fees following a very expensive and emotional time with one of my horses a few years ago... I think too much pressure is placed on owners these days to get a quick diagnosis and also treat them within a very short space...

Equestrian Clearance - amazing company to deal with! :)

That's a crazy idea! If a horse is deliberately trying to get you off, I think I'd rather succumb and fall off than be strapped aboard for it and endure it all!! Don't like the metal gullet thing that was attached to the numnah either, why bother going to the trouble of fitting a saddle then...
