Hi there, I know this come up a lot but I am looking for recommendations for a good saddler that covers West Sussex. I have around 500 - 600 to spend and would like to get a dressage saddle (I imagine second hand with only that budget) and I don't want to much of that budget eaten up with a call...

I've just liked their page and am about to send a PM. Thank you for letting me know about it. I'd not heard of it before so is nice to know there are people out there that can help x

I've just signed up, thank you for sending me the link. It looks really interesting. Plus it starts in January, which will on a personal note will give me something to occupy my mind while I'm dieting after Christmas! :)

I am pleased to hear he doesnt have cushings, but its concerning if there are things out of the norm that you have noticed. Especially the lack of energy. My vet couldnt offer me an explanation as to why my horse has been off colour especially as all his blood work came back ok, so she was...

Spillers lite balancer as an alternative to lo cal balancer? It's useful to find all this stuff out. I am def going to change what he is being fed. Dilemma now is sugar beet or spillers lite balancer ? :confused: :)

Fingers crossed for you x

Which joint supplement are you using? currently i am using glucosamine and msm, but I have read that glucosamine may not be the best thing to give a horse with cushings. I havent been able to find one that doesnt have any in.

I'm pleased to report that my pony does not have cushings. His result came back at 14 and normal for the lab they use is 27. I am really pleased I posted my question on here as I've recieved some really useful advice and felt much better prepared. I have decided as a result of all the advice I...

Thank you so much everyone. Im really glad I posted my worries on here as I do feel more reassured that this is not the end so to speak. Please forgive my ignorance, but is baileys lo cal balancer a cereal? (had always been led to believe its a good feed for fat ponies as gives them all their...

If it is positive, is the outlook good these days? Is he likely to still carry on being ridden? It doesnt matter to me if not, I just want him to have a happy life x

I am looking for peoples advice here. I have a 13.2hh cob who is approx 14 years old. In the last 3 weeks he has been quite lethargic when being ridden either out or in the school. Everything appears to be as normal in every other sense. No extra drinking and weeing (although his bed has always...

I want to change to another farrier as I'm not happy with the one I have at the moment and the quality of his work. If you in anyway try to question him he can be quite arrogant and come across slightly aggressive, so I've decided I'd like to change to a different farrier. Sounds easy, but all...

I use mega tek around 5 times a week. I have it in a spray bottle mixed with water and apply it when I groom him in the evenings. Also when I wash his mane I use it as a condtioner and am not very thorough when I rinse it out. On the days that it is necessary for him to wear a fly rug I apply...

I wonder if anyone has any tips they can give me or suggest any products that might help. I have a cob with a long mane, during the harsh winter, stupidly, i turned him out in combo rugs with neck. (he does live on the top of hill with no shelter :rolleyes:). The inevitable happened and...

Does anyone have any tips!?! My horse has a pink muzzle and as well as putting tons of suncream on I also put a fly mask with a nose on to prevent him rubbing off the suncream (which ive watched the little toe rag do!). With suncream and fly mask he doesnt get burnt- happy days. The problem...
