Hi, I just wanted to let the very kind people that responded to my message the update. I spoke with my vets this morning and they think he may have sinusitis and have prescribed a 5 day course of trimediazine which will hopefully clear it up. Thank you again for your help

Hi, my horse has a snotty nose nearside and has been like it for a week. He's not had a temperature and he's eating, drinking and behaving absolutely normally and doesn't appear to be in any discomfort. The snot is quite thick and yellow in colour and is quite sticky. It also smells a little...

I am interested in purchasing a mare that has been barefoot for a year. I am concerned that when she's lunged on hard surface for the vetting she'll be foot sore as the yard only has gravel. Should I insist on having shoes put on?

Hi, My horse has been diagnosed with proximal suspensory ligament injury in left fore. Vet has suggested 6 weeks box rest, then 6 weeks of walk, then review. What are your experiences of this injury? Is my horse likely to make a full recovery? Compete at the level we were at (BD Elementary)...

Hi, I would like people's opinions on their experiences with navicular syndrome and what treatments they've used please. i.e. shoe's on/off, medication etc. Thank you, really appreciate your time.

Ok, so the vets been today and discovered he does have mites so they've given him and injection for that and coming again in 2 weeks to give him another 1. Will have to monitor this as he may need to have them every 6 months. They ruled out worms as I'm on a very strict worm count/worming...

Thanks I'll also mention that to the vet on thursday

That's interesting as that's what I'm feeding him as suggested by tops pec . They said to try using hifi molasses free or their top chop lite. Only bought the hifi molasses free as that's all my stockists had at the time. Wonder whether it's worth me trying the top spec top hop lite instead. Thanks

I had thought the same thing about him getting too hot. I'm reluctant to clip him as he's barely ridden and didn't want to have to rug him. I'll also mention frontline to the vets. Thank you

I'll mention that to the vet on Thursday thanks webble

Before he was just being fed on mole valley hi fibre lite. I now have him on top spec senior lite balancer and hifi molassess free.
