    Liveryman Harmony Plus - Pros and Cons

    Love mine! I use them on my hairy cob, predominantly to remove her feather but will also do a full clip. I have an assortment of blades and also splashed out on the battery pack. Quiet and low vibration, they are excellent for clipper phobic horses!

    Levothyroxine for weight loss (horses)

    Only just seen this, my mare was on the syringes of Levothyroxine paste (made by Bova i think) which were costing £42 each and lasted 2 days. She had had 2 x 30 days courses at full dose and then a further 30 day course which was gradually reduced over the course of two months. Total cost for...

    How secure is your tack room?

    Out tack room is double doored, inner one padlocked and outer one yale lock, and bars on windows. I think the biggest deterrent are the owners 9 dogs which live on site.....5 of which are rottweilers! We have had a few dodgy characters on site asking silly questions so we always point them in...

    Anatomical/comfort headpiece recommendations?

    I have a Henry James bridle for my mare. She is a nightmare to get a bridle for 'off the peg' as she is a mix of full and x-full but you can mix and match the Henry James Bridles to suit. I absolutely love my bridle!

I am now starting to bring her back into work after 11 months box rest, she still chucks her head around....am i too heavy for her? Is she in pain somewhere? She has just...

    Am I doing the right thing?

    Do whatever it takes to ensure your horse doesn't get laminitis. My mare has been on box rest for the last 10 months after being diagnosed and xrays confirming rotation in both front feet. She is able to start in hand exercise now but still cant have any turnout. She got fat and i didn't...
