Exactly this. I try really hard to avoid anything with soya in. I've gone back to micronised mixed flakes this year, (peas, maize and barley) which seems to be suiting my TB better than oats ( in addition to his alfalfa, sugarbeet and linseed meal).

The thing that annoyed me most about this post was that they had apparenlty found TWO such unicorns, but couldn't be bothered to travel to see them! If you have reiewed form/videos/asked the right questions and they are 'perfect', then surely they are worth a visit? Unless they are in the...

My old boy has never had an abscess in his life. Diagnosed PPID this autumn when he suddenly looked miserable as sin. The pergolide took while to kick in, but when it did it made a fantastic difference to him (I'd been on the verge of PTS because his QOL seemed so poor) All good, except...

Is the pus coming from the frog or the collateral groove? It really does look nasty. It will be interesting to see what the x-rays show. Have you tried warm tubbing ( as warm as possible without causing burns) in epsom salts, for 20 mins twice a day, and dry poultice inbetween? Use a good...

This is what you need (black side up) https://www.ajhorseboxes.co.uk/product/6mm-grip-top-ramp-matting/ Lightweight and REALLY grippy. Pain in the a*** to brush, but worth it because it is never slippy. Don't get the cheap version, it really isn't as good. I used a spray adhesive like...

I 've just bid on and won a pair of Jomiluti on Ebay - I'll let you know how i get on with them :)

I bought my son a pony, and a few weeks later he kicked a wall and broke a hind navicular clean in 2, about 1/3 along it's length. I. can't remember the exact time scale, but it was a few weeks in a small yard, and then a small paddock. Maybe 6 months total? He had a heart bar on for 6...

How sticky is the silicone seat on these?

I agree with the OP that controlled exercise can sometimes be preferable as a transition to turnout. Ours was on box rest recently, and although the vet said said we could start small paddock turnout; we chose to hand walk for 6 weeks first. This meant she built strength in a controlled way...

I've seen one that said 'Slow Down. Farting Horse' Not sure on the legal liability aspect of that one :)

Pure Green Flax behaves almost exactly like Aubiose, but is much cheaper. I pay £10.50 a bale at my local feed store. I love Aubiose, so I was really happy to find the Pure Green Flax at such a good price. One of mine has a a very open stable prone to damp, and the PGF works really well.

It is sad, and it also makes me cross that people with the objective knowledge, and the direct contact with the rider (e.g. vet, showing judges) are not saying/doing something. Although having thought that through as I typed, I suppose the vet might have said something, but couldn't...

And you wouldn't want to Veteran Vitality to a laminitic....

Another vote for investigating her hooves, with dance moves also possible.
