we were aware of thrush starting if her feet were in the wet but we kept the wetness out so shes hasnt got thrush. Her diet has already been changed, all sugar cut out and is on a fibre diet. Not allowed to work her as shes is pretty much severely lame and gets worse the more she moves about and...

Heres a image of where the vet said was the suspected areas(tissue areas not bone, red area) green line is where the injections where put in and alot of fluid came out of the right leg, still pretty much a large area but its trial and error at this point, we went from shoulder and pinpointed it...

Yeah thats the another issue, im afraid to pay that money for the MRI and end up being told its unfixable, then ive spent £2,000 odd when it could have been spent keeping her and looking after her as just a companion horse as selling her isnt a option for me. Shoes and pads are still on, due...

yeah with the last visit to the vet we thought it was soft feet so i had started her on biotin, stabled 24/7 and iodine sprayed on her feet plus keratex on her hoofs and she didnt improve at all, actually got worse but now the new(more experienced vet) tested her feet and found no softness and...

Thought id update on Luna's lameness. Today she went back to the vets after the pads failed (she got worse when the new pads and shoes went on). Managed to find a new vet, he is pretty sure its a tissue problem and not a bone problem as the xrays show nothing to suggest lameness or even...

She would just pick the carrots out and eat them then leave the feed haha tried that one before! maybe just adding a dab of water to the feed for the powder to cling to might be enough to make her eat it all

I was afraid of that with the glucose lol cost me £48 for 5kg too! oh well i'l order some of that Pro hoof and start adding it along with whatever fibre feed i can find too, just need to get around the problem of having no molasses to encourage her to eat it! Thanks guy for the help, at least i...

I would love to be able to go unshod with my horse but i do cross country, hunting and showjumping and alot of hacking on the roads and tough terrein so I'd be terrified that her feet wouldnt hold up for all of it and also the fact i have no clue about how to toughen a horses feet to go bare...

I cant get at her soles as shes got a rubber pad on them to help take away pressure from the soles. but last week when they where pressure tested they where VERY springy, i could see how much they moved and they peel away very easily when the vet scraped a bit off to see how soft they where...

Shes fed Frasers cool mix for horses in light work but i changed to that as she wasnt in as high of work since she turned lame, she was on pegasus cool mix with the conditioning cubes and she also gets molasses mixed in with it cause shes gets joint supplements as well and wont eat it without...

kinda need to explain my horses back story just so everyone understands the situation lol My mare went suddenly lame on the 26th August on the front leg(never been lame the whole year I've had her before this), she had only been in light work that week due to weather and such. i thought maybe...
