    Kissing Spine

    Having had a horse who had severe neurological issues and was pts from what we suspect was a head injury I know how awful that must have been ? Absolutely, I will follow my Vets advice, we have already discussed the fact that he won’t box rest when he had a hoof injury but got through that, so...

    Kissing Spine

    Thanks for the replies. He is going for a full work up first to see if he is suitable for surgery. I have one of his previous x-rays which is bad but I need a full set and a work up for secondaries before making a decision. Absolutely heart broken at this horse, he is my dream horse, moves...

    Kessock Vets or Ardenes House

    Can anyone recommend one of these over the other and why. I am equidistant from both and need to take a horse for lameness work up and X-rays. Thanks

    Kissing Spine

    Hi, I have a 7 year old ex racer that I bought and wasn’t told he has previously diagnosed KS. I didn’t give him back when I found out as it wasn’t a good place. He is the most loving horse but very screwed up mentally. There is no way he will do box rest and rehab but I wondered if anyone...

    Renault Master Van Conversion

    Good Afternoon, I have searched for this and can't find what I am looking for so wondered if anyone could help please? I have recently bought a van conversion and it needed work on the ramp (we knew this before buying). Unfortunately on stripping back around the ramp we found it has been...

    COPD not responding to treatment

    Not that I can think of and he has had a complete change - we moved from Yorkshire surrounded by crops to north of scotland and we just have sheep grazing next door now but it's hard to know for sure.

    COPD not responding to treatment

    I have kept him in light work throughout, my vet advised to keep him working at a level he was comfortable with, ie do what he was capable of - some days he can manage more, others just a walk down the road and back.

    COPD not responding to treatment

    Hello, I have a lovely 20 year old gelding I bought a year ago, he had a cough from living in a dusty environment. I thought that he would improve when taken away from there and bought him as I had fallen in love with him! Long story short a year on £1000s of vet bills and a complete move...

    New matting for Henra horse trailer

    Hi, I have bought a second hand Henra horse trailer and the rubber matting has perished so needs replaced. I am looking for lightweight matting to glue down to the floor and matting for the ramp with ridges built in. The floor is plastic. Any advice on matting, where to buy and suitable glue...

    Making THAT decision - in bits am I right or wrong!!

    I made the decision to put my 8 year old mare to sleep in the spring this year, she had a catalogue of problems that could only be managed (to a certain extent) not fixed and several of the problems clashed in terms of treatment. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done but her quality...

    I knew about Ace as I was in touch with you about my mare around the same time who was also sadly PTS. But I still feel so sad to read this thread :( Best wishes x
