I would suggest talking to other horse owners in the area and find out what the council's attitude is to horses on agricultural land.

Happy to share the wine 🤪 I would go with your gut instinct. If he is 90% better why risk setting back. Can you organise the SI injections to cause the least possible stress.

Hi and welcome! You will probably get more responses on the subject if you post on the vet forum.

My friend went for the solar option and found they weren't very robust. She is on her third one in about 5 years.

I believe they have said he wouldn't get the trip.

Thanks peeps, halfords it is then.

Does anyone have any recommendations please. Our last one was from halfords, and lasted over 10 years.

I agree with others that pts is the kindest course of action for the horse. I would try to arrange it as soon as possible.

Is there an older or retired jockey who now trains, that you could ask to school with and get advice from.

Are you bridging your reins? That can help until you get the feel.

It is certainly rare for us to have rain with an easterly wind. This makes the rain feel so cold. Also, we try to organise the shelter against the prevailing southwest wind and rain.

Maybe they mixed it up with their Veyeran Vitality. That takes longer to soak and goes gloopy

I have a 24 yo and a 25 yo retired racehorses. The 24 yo still looks and behaves like the 5 yo when we bought him. I think the 25 yo may have failing eyesight, but he still canters over for his feed bucket

Yes, particularly the oldie (25 yo tb). Increase to 2 feeds a day, basically doubling the amount. I also increase his pony nuts by about 20% when trios drop below freezing.

I like a multi mucka fork for straw beds.
