ycbm, i wasn't saying that it was recent, I was just referring to the vet who was performing the op 12 years ago when my mare was diagnosed.

Have found this....(it was spelt John Walmsley)... http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/archive/index.php/t-211473.html

The basket op was offered to me as a possibility on my mare (C6/C7 affected). A john warmsley (not sure on spelling) i believe was the vet who, at the time had carried out the op, and i believe he was based at liphook. I was told at the time, that if the affected vertebrae were nearer to the...

Well obviously that was a strong concern of mine at the time. As well as, will my mare be okay carrying a foal to full term. Which is why i went for a 3rd and 4th opinion. One vet said that no wobbler gene had ever actually been found, and that wobblers had been bred with wobblers and hadn't...

My referring vet at the time, the RVC who performed the neuro test, xrays, and myelogram, i also rang and spoke to a vet at the Animal health trust and another at Rossdales for views.

why?

Sorry, popsdosh, is that, you 'despair' at me?

Not necessarily PTS, it depends on how severe it is. It will likely mean retiring in the least. My little mare was graded a 2 out of 4 wobbler 12 years ago. I retired her straightaway, she has had 1 foal 10 years ago and has happily lived out 24/7 since. Feel free to PM me if you want someone...

I had a similar experience with Gavin, 2 sessions at £90 each, he performed more what looked like reiki, no osteo work, and no change to my horse at all. Nice guy, but wouldnt use him again. Have since used Rob Jackson (on facebook as 'the horseback vet') and highly recommend!!

can you get them as a short girth version i cant seem to find them anywhere or is it because of the buckles they are not suitable?

I am looking for a osteo for my horse and have come across The Horseback vet (Rob Jackson) when googling, has anyone any experience using him? hes more expensive than any other osteo i've used before so would like to hear some views first!

Has anyone used Saddles Direct to sell a saddle? if so, how did you find them and would you use them again?

Hi r.e.d What does a weakened blood vessel mean (why does that happen & will it stay like it)? It is along the gullet, but the gullet on both saddles are definitely wide enough for him. Thanks!

When i take the saddle off after riding my horse has lumps along his spine, they don't seem to bother him and then go down within about 10 mins. I've had 3 seperate saddlers check my saddles and all say they fit really well but i am still concerned. I have tried using a mattes sheepskin numnah...

Can anyone recommend anywhere in or around Hertfordshire for retirement livery?
