Now prescribed and bulk ordered on Vio Vet. Thank you!

My pony is currently on box rest for a snapped digital flexor tendon and has been on bute for the past 3 weeks. It is incredibly expensive for him to be going through it like he is but is not at all comfortable with out it. I am wondering if anyone has used anything as an equivalent pain killer...

Le Mieux do some good cold water boots that you just leave to soak in a bucket of water, the colder the better. We used to take them with us in a bucket and soak them whilst riding/competing and then put them on once finished. They do a good job of cooling legs down and are easy to prepare and...

My 4 year old started doing this...he is now 6 and still does it and i think he always will. He has always loved a good buck but only does it in excitement or when he wants to go. He also had everything checked and there was nothing wrong. I took him back to basics and made him walk every...

I'm looking for new things to do with my beloved pony as he is having to retire from show jumping due to a tendon injury which no longer allows him to jump. He is still in the very early stages of recovery but vets are hopeful he will return to a good level of work just without jumping. He is...

I had this issue but with a much younger horse. Couldn't get him to keep any weight on or build muscle. I fed him on Balanced Horse feeds show mix which worked absolute wonders with his weight gain. He was fed Baileys No 4 Topline cubes along side this. Ive heard soya oil can be good but can't...

Theres a stand at all the Hickstead shows that do brilliant ones. A little more on the expensive side but you get what you pay for.

The rugs are brilliant to keep the flies away and should be your first point of call but they obviously won't stop the itching. I had a pony who suffered awfully and would make herself bleed. First thing i would do is add garlic to the feed to naturally avoid the flies, I've heard that turmeric...

Would you be able to email me some pictures if i gave you my email address? Just looking for some design ideas!

He did it in the stable between me finishing the yard at 6.30pm and going back at 8pm to put rugs on when i found him hopping lame..He had walked around the block for 10 mins that morning but nothing was wrong before or after this until later that evening. Vets think it was a freak accident in...

We are in West Sussex so a bit far but thank you!

My 6 year old show-jumper has just been diagnosed with a severe rupture of his deep digital flexor tendon which has also ruptured into his tendon sheath. He's incredibly lame on it (10/10) and has been at Liphook Hospital having numerous scans as vets cannot understand how he has caused so much...

Hi there, I have an enormous double garage that is currently only used for storage. We were looking at building external stables within the grounds but then had the idea to convert the garage. It is brick built with a tall pitch roof has a good concrete base along with water and electricity...

Balanced horse feeds show mix worked great for my hot headed gelding. Kept him in great shape without heating him up.
