Hi, Following on from successful treatment of ulcers, but not being able to relieve a painful area behind the saddle we had our 16.3hh ISH mare have a full bone scan this week. She is 8 years old, backed late at 6 years old, having had a couple of foals previously, so was hoping I was buying a...

Thank you, one of our horses is in fact under the care of TCEH at the moment so I will speak to them, we are back there in a couple of weeks with her.

Thanks have sent you a pm

Hi, Does anyone have experience of using Kelvin Lymer farrier? Just after reviews. He came to look at our horses this week after myself having worries that our current farrier is causing issues. Kelvin said he would be making changes to how they gave been shod and is coming in December to shoe...

Hello! We have a horsebox which we love, 7.5t, but it has no generator. I just wondered if anyone power's their box with a power station, eg Jackery, Ecoflow etc and how successful it is if you did? Can you run a Thetford fridge off it and if so how long etc? Just thinking about investing in...

Hi, I am looking into surfaces for our arena which is being completely redone from bottom up (was installed 10 years ago with planning but with woodchip on membrane with no stone / drainage). Groundworks will start soon, drainage, stone & membrane but looking at all the surface alternatives...

Hello, I'm after some unbiased feed recommendations. We have a 15.1hh Connie gelding, 11 years old and eventing at 90 level at the moment, did BE100 in his previous home. He weighs 500kg and a good doer but he lacks energy. He recently had hocks and SI joints injected after discovering...

GS thank you for your reply, this a very useful and informative. I am going to email the vets and ask them why they are going down this route, ie the bone scan first, so I can understand more their plan, I was a little overwhelmed when we were there on Thursday. A friend is a very good equine...

Thank you, yes this is what the vet said about nerve blocks. We used arthramid on another of our older ponies with success.

The vet said she could do nerve blocks when we were there yesterday but suggested we go for the bone scan first as he is insured and then the nerve blocks at a later date if needs be, do you think I should query this? She suggested the bone scan would offer more clarity to the problem than...

Hi In 2021 we bought a 10 year old connie gelding for my then 11 year old daughter to event. He had done up to BE100 very successfully with his previous owners, passed 5* vetting. They had the most brilliant, successful year together in 2021 eventing in unaff 80's. This year they started...

Hi, I wondered if anyone can tell me how they find the Equitrek 3.5-4.5 tonne boxes. I currently own an Equitrek Show Treka M, I love it but the quality is, well, as you know, not great! It is a 2012 and have had to have the ramp re-done, the tack box is rotting at the bottom, screws always...

Hi I have just bought my first Fell pony, an 8 year old gelding. Just looking for tips or hints on this breed especially with grooming, looking after feathers when it's muddy etc and any trimming - I am presuming none, but he does have a hefty old beard and people keep telling me to trim it a...

Hi everyone, this is all really useful to know and lots to think about. The house that maybe an option for us is opposite the livery yard we are at now which has a menage which we could use. It is also just 2 miles from our current house, kids won't have to move schools or anything and we know...

Hi, we are in position that in the not too distant future we maybe able to purchase a house with land so we can have our four legged friends at home (my daughter is 9 and in pony club and I ride too). What we like about livery is the company of friends & the convenience of having no maintenance...
