    Managing ulcers but Alfa not allowed-what to feed before riding?

    She seems to be doing really well on Equine America's Uls-Gard but in total honesty, I hadn't considered adding it to that feed, would make more sense! Currently it's added to her brekkie :)

    Managing ulcers but Alfa not allowed-what to feed before riding?

    Thanks for all your replies - I should have said that she has ad-lib hay when she's in, but if she isn't given a handful or so of chaff before being ridden she is extremely difficult & can become pretty, er, colourful, shall we say with her mid air acrobatics. She is currently on Readigrass as...

    Long term prognosis for kissing spines

    Hi! I just thought I'd add our story too - my girl was diagnosed with KS 3 years ago at the grand old age of 4! Add to that bi-lateral hock spavins..... We initially had her hocks injected, then later on (couple months) her back. This *did* make a difference however her xrays clearly showed the...

    Equifeast Calm & Collected

    I've used it on my crazy chestnut mare for quiet some time now and it's great. Ring them for a chat, as the CCC starts as a core product & then, depending on your individual horse's needs you can - with their advice - adjust the level of magnesium where required. It is a tad pricey for the...

    Neue Schule Bits - Sizing

    I go up 1/4 size with the Verbindend & waterford loosering / baucher but I believe you stay at your usual size for the other bits & also the waterford pelham - not that you need that but you know what I mean! :)

    Changing horse's name on passport for competing?

    Thank you - what I was asking really as all new to me. I have nothing against her registered name, I just really like the name she currently competes under! I am in regular contact with her breeder anyway and as my girl is almost day-glo orange in colour, I compete her under 'The Orange One'...
