Have to say she is a bit of a drama queen, so its hard to no how sore she actually is. But she is lame in walk. Have been cold hoseing and she's in at night, to try and get the weight off her. That and the hard ground prob the cause. Its not big smaller than a grape. Slightly worried now that...

If she's still lame in the next few days I'll call the vet. She is only abit lame mind you. Horses are stressful ....... :-\

She's still put in the field. Cold hosed her tonight, but she's still out in the field. Splintex this that a cream? Stupid question maybe, but I've never had a horse with this before. Its abit smaller than a grape. Do you think ppl are bothered about buying young horses with splints?

It was all going so well, started breaking the 3yo, when today I noticed she's got a lump on the inside of her front leg. Bit lame. Must of done it running around on this hard ground. Worst thing is she had great potential for showing, lovely conformation..... :-( and she was for sale. Just my...

Yea that's the number I have. Does she still practise? Thanks for the reply tho. :-)

Hi does anyone have to number for Sharon Kelly? the one I have never gets an answer. Haven't needed her in years so it could be an old number.

Just read my last post, talk about shocking spelling. Apologies using my phone. I meant 'brush past'.

Knee seems to have gone down. Apart from that wee lump. No heat. Not lame cause she was running round in the snow having great craic. found the Blackthorn bush, which I will attack tomorrow. Must of bushed past it. Watching it very closely.

well thats reasuring. i'll obviously keep an eye on it. thanks :)

thanks for the advice. :) yes i know the antitoxin is only short term. she wasnt up to date ashamed to say. have to start her on a programme in 6 weeks.

Hi . I pulled out what i think was a blackthorn from my 2yrs knee 3days ago, the knee is still up abit but she dosn't appear to be lame. gave her a tet antitoxin just in case. she lives out in fields away from yard so cant really be bringing her over ever day to hose. the thorn wasnt big only...

Watching it on euro sport, but the male commentator is really annoying me. never thought id say this but id rather have Tucker. ;-)

I no go for gold is eventing sale. :) i didnt really explain that well, i agree that a ID XTB isnt likely to go to top level, but a cross again on a 3/4 or another 1/2 bred irish horse could. I just think there are nice jumping TB out there. there is still a role for the 'Right ' TB. I...

After reading respones from the buyers at the recent Go for Gold sale, in which they emphasised a real 'want' for the traditionally bred irish horse. It got me thinking and reminded me of a statement that ive heard from several breeders , that theres " not the same level of performance (ie...

There's a picture of him and Loftus O'Neil in the Irish field last week. It only shows his head over the stable door.
