Just been looking at the CotswoldSport bits, in particular the tongue saver hanging cheek snaffle. I really want to try a hanging cheek bit and the shape of this looks perfect as it's similar to the verbindend which gives my horse more tongue relief. Just wondered if anyone had tried one?

Thanks. Tried calm and condition and healthy tummy and he won't eat either. He was really loving the Saracen Releve and then suddenly went off it 2 days ago. He does drop weight so he could really do with he hard feed to keep him plump. In terms of other pain causing the ulcers, he has bute...

Has to have haylage as he tends not to eat hay and thus doesn't get enough forage. GG was being given like a wormer but was making him so stressed he now has it on a tiny (and I mean TINY) bit of feed on a morning. He was eating this fine until yesterday and is now refusing it

Posting on behalf of a friend whose horse (23yo TB) was scoped for ulcers approx 4 weeks ago. He was found to have grade 2 and 3 ulcers and has been put on a course of Gastrogard. Since being on the Gastrogard he has become increasingly picky with food and is flatly refusing to eat a lot of...

I did but they're about £8 on eBay! Rideaway used to sell them for almost half that price.

Does anyone know where I can buy the plastic jump pole covers without spending a fortune? Rideaway used to stock them but can't seem to find them. Thanks :)

:) thanks. They do look good for a bit more coverage, may try a pair

Do people tend to use them more for flat work? Would they overheat the legs anymore than a neoprene based brushing boot?

Keep seeing various brands of sports boots like these premier equine ones: http://www.premierequine.co.uk/PBSCProduct.asp?ItmID=12201054 Just wondered what types of things people actually use them for and whether they're any good? Sorry if this is a really dumb question! X

Thanks for all the suggestions :) lots to try now!

Ooo that's a great idea!

I also have a verbindend and it's the only bit my horse will go forward into the contact with. Great bits :)

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get a very fussy eater to eat antibiotics. Tried putting them in really mushy calm and condition with some cool mix but wouldn't eat them. Added apple juice to make it sweeter but that made it worse. Syringing them = extremely stressful. Any ideas?!

Hmm just wondering if it will wear better than current one that I'm contemplating returning. Who knows...

That's ok! This whole situation is stressing me out. I was so excited about my new saddle too :(. Blah
