Hi All, Just a quick question, about to go and ice my ponies leg, he has slight inflammation of his check ligament after titting around in the field. I have flexible ice packs from the supermarket, do people apply directly on the skin and then polo wrap on or put a tea towel on leg, ice...

Hello, Thank you for your replies to my post. Paddy & Dandy - Sorry to hear about your horse. I have had a look at Jackie's website, have you had her to see your horses? Is she very very expensive? Pines of Rome - Thank you for your kind words. It is a truly rubbish situation :'(...

Hello Guys, My 6 year old ISH is due to be PTS on Friday due to Kissing Spines and Suspensory damage. He is awfully unhappy and grumpy all the time which is why I have come to this heartbreaking decision as I believe he is in pain. I have tried everything in my power to make him happier...

Hey guys, I wonder if anyone can offer any advice. I've got a 5 yr of ISH who was broken really badly last year, before I bought him I will add. I restarted him and all was going well, until he started being aggressive in the stable, charging at people with his ears back etc. We got to the...
