Def ccc! i had my 7yo warmblood on various magnesium calmers for best part of 2yrs and now since using the mag free ccc i am sure magnesium used to make him worse! - which apparently it does on 30% of horses! Honestly it is fab and they are really helpful :) good luck

Ask your vets for ACP, thats what i used after 6months box rest. However i now have a kwpn youngster and have tried magic, magnitude with no results. A lot of horses are worse on magnesium. So i tried Equifeasts cool, calm and collected (mag free) - based on calcium instead - and he was a...

Thanks Kerilli thats a good idea x

Thank you all for your replies :) I feel a bit better that I am not the only one! :) I try and solve and analise everything - but i think it is just time and persistance that will be 'the cure'. I agree tricksibell85 - I have also changed everything - which is why I think we have imporved...

Thanks for your reply :) He's Westphalian x TB. Why do you say female rather than male? Just for more consistency for the horse? (I'm 5'8 and weigh 11 +1/2 stone) so i'm not dainty by any means ;) lol Yes, i'm not sure if i would be too bored just showjumping... lol I'm *hoping* that...

I have a lovely 7yo dutch sports horse who has been very sharp until the past year. I now have him settled and rideable. He always jumps well SJ (he was brought from a SJ dealer so this is his ‘comfort’ phase) and his dressage is fair. Across country he used to be very sharp and run out...

Keep on going :) I have been in exactly the same situation, got a stunning KWPN who is sharp as hell! I was adivsed by other people that i should get rid, but i liked him too much - so i got a new instructor and an air jacket and stuck it out! And now he's just turned 7 and he's a dream...

Good morning all! I have a question about my dressage test for Tweseldown on Sat… I think the walk section (points 12 & 13) is a bit ambiguous… Does it mean: Medium Walk at K up to E and then half circle to B (still in medium) and THEN free walk down F? Or Medium Walk at K...

Oh no!! :( x

Not for dressage but do for jumping, once im over first fence its better, rescue remedy is really good, you can buy it from boots its natural herbal remedy to ease nerves - can get pastilles to chew or liquid drops on your tongue. Or just pimms! Lol ;)

Thank you for your helpful replies. I think i will pop back in a bit and have a better look at him and have a look at his weight/condition under his rug. I also think i need to be sure that he is definitely living out before i complain, which i can confirm when i pop back in a bit. I think...

Hi all, not posted for quite a long time! But need your thoughts! I have 17yo tbx gelding that i've had since 5yo and evented, i retired him a few years ago as he had on/off tendon problems his whole career and decided to give him an easy life. I put him out of full loan 13months ago and...

Paul Tapner has a lovely eventer Carlito III out of the stallion Cassius Clay..

Second a good deep tissue sports therapist, ive tried pretty much everything. I have slipped disc to and been suffering for over 2 years after a bad fall (horse fell on me and i broke ribs and bruised my kidney). Been going back to my gp (and 2 other doctors in the same practice who just said...
