Thank you. I'm in west midlands but thanks for the advice anyway. I know someone who had her mare pts and the knackerman she used was very calm and understanding. I've also talked to my lecturer (I'm an equine student) who I truest immensely, and she has said the same. So I think I will give him...

Yeah, it really sucks. I feel as if I've put soo much into him and this is the out come. I wish I could keep him, but its just not possible, I want another one temporarily to back and sell, but after that I will be going into racing, with no hope of having the time to look after a horse or the...

Yeah, I mean he kept going lame on and off, but he kept recovering quickly so I couldn't call the vet. He went lame badly again 2 weeks ago so I got the vet. The second he went lame I had a pretty strong feeling that this was going to be it, or very close to it. The vet said they would...

Thanks, I agree, to be fair most say either its my decision or I'm thinking the right thing its just one or two that say I should find him a new home, or a rescue center. But these people have got it into their heads that he is very well behaviour. Which he is, until it comes to vets, farriers...

Aww that's terrible! I wish more people would think really carefully about what they do with their horses. I think one reasons I wanted to find other opinions is that I have know 2 horses this year be pts for reasons I don't agree with and wanted to make sure I wasn't doing the same thing. One...

Thank you and to everyone who. You have all been so supportive and even though you are strangers it is greatly appreciated (I wish all the people at my yard understood...but you can't make everyone happy)

Yeah, bute once a day from next week, twice this week. But it doesn't look like it'll be that long before he is pts, maybe in a few years. Its taken less than 2 years for the bone to erode away and its quite a difference from how it was.

I have had my horse 3 years. He is lovely, incredibly sweet, has a really nice temperament (as in never kicks or bites). He is a 17hh, sports horse hunter. He has arthritis in his hocks so is unable to jump now tho. He has had a rough history and bad experiences with a lot of people. When I...

Someone called me letting me know my horse is lame in his front left hoof. He has slight heat in it, he has had for a very long time a slight lame stride in that foot that has been looked out by many vets , this has not really been. But its been a lot worse reacently I thought he was foot sore...

I've only been the XC , I got dressage tickets for my birthday and was wondering if you can enter and exit the arena whenever throughout the dressage? if you can, how do you get back in, do you just keep your ticket and go back in when you want to? Also, is it ever possible to buy arena...

Yeah that's another thing, my farrier said I should put mine down because if he keeps going lame bare foot and he's completely impossible to shoe. But he's improved so much in the last year I've never been so happy I haven't taken someones advice. Recently he's been foot sore and a bit lame but...

Actually I'm with riskybusiness on this, sorry I'm not calling you a liar at all I'm just know what they said is exactly what my trimmer said, they are trying to keep the foot shorter, but they don't exactly trim it shorter unless it needs really needs it, mine said they are trying to keep it...

Actually, I was referred to her by friends and she was only 25, I asked her why and she said the man she trained with always said 'how can you expect people to open their minds if you charge twice as much' I thought she might be less qualified but she's definitely not, I guess I'm just lucky...

Oh and so sorry about the horrific grammar (this is to everyone) my phone keeps auto-correcting it wrong!
