Thanks; quite liked him. Very baroque. Wrong timing for me as in the middle of trying to move!

The wait! Hope he has a good trip back. Don’t suppose you know how old and big the grey was?

Aw that’s lovely. I think I enquired about him if he was the same ad as the grey and other darker one. Bit too soon for me but I liked him and the grey who was very baroque. Everyone I know who has bought from Sophie has been very happy 😃

He is lovely. How tall and old is he? Good luck with him

So very sorry for your loss. It sounds like a horrible and unusual situation.

Thank you; it was actually my vet who mentioned it. I’m sorry that you lost your horse; it really is time consuming and a battle dealing with it all. Hopefully they will reply to my email in the week but it’s good to hear other feedback in the meantime.

Does anyone have any experience using Equestride tendon recovery boots? Have a very poor prognosis but willing horse who is walking ok on Bute and these look very interesting. Interested to hear about how well they fit, did they work, how much is the rental and how good was the veterinary...

Suspect that may have been me; Dr Knottenbelt helped me to sort it out around 10 years ago. Invaluable advice; so many vets seem to misdiagnose or people assume it’s mud fever and the issue just multiplies

Haven’t read all of the replies but have seen LV/ Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis mentioned and if it’s just the white leg then it could well be that. It must be covered from all UV light at all times and stay away from alfalfa feeds, yellow plants and feed a high level of zinc. Even down to the...

Insurance doesn’t pay enough anyway. I’ve just spent double over what the max insurance pay out was trying to save my horse. I’d love to do a GoFundMe

People I know have one and he has attacked other dogs on numerous occasions and never seems to engage with you like ‘normal’ dogs do or show affection. He is also a terrible thief for anything left out that he wants to eat or chew. Probably partly their training, or lack of, but it’s the way he...

Thanks; I seem to remember that is where I bought a hat from ages ago when I had a horse in the area on training livery briefly!
