Do you know which tooth? My mare had 309 out. All being well you should get change out of £1k. Our experience was not straightforward and we ended up maxing insurance. :mad: I had no indication from my girl she was in any pain. No quidding, difficulty bitting... Nothing. If the extraction...

So very sorry for your loss. I let my beautiful girl go to sleep last Friday and it just hurts so much Take care of yourself and know that you did the best for her x

In the last 2 years I have had 2 claims with Petplan and they have been great. This experiences also tell me that £3.5k doesn't last long either. Luckily I haven't had to deal with a PTS situation so cant comment on that

This has riled me for last 5 years. When i was offered ny mare to buy i seeked other peoples opinion on her price as i didnt have a clue. I had her on loan at time so knew her. One livery exclaimed she was "just a happy hacker" and wasnt worth anything. Well i paid good money for her and...

The way I understood it was that it was best to take it now in the hope it would be cleaner and easier to remove. It will break down more over time and end up being a very difficult procedure the more the tooth deteriorates. Hopefully too it will be done by sedation. Obviously won't know until...

Hello everyone. .. serial lurker as opposed to poster looking for your experiences of the above. Had EDT out today and been referred to vets. Mare has buccal slab fracture of 209. He has told me not to let them suggest we "see how it goes" but to get x rays and suspects that extraction will...

Kent horsebox hire...claire Cornford. Or you dare to go on kent equestrian grapevine on Facebook she has set up a page of reputable companies

Haha, so many of these ring true to me.... Particularly "never believe what you are told about a horse until you have seen it with your own eyes" ... Have been told so many things about my girl that left me barely doing anything with her . Now we are having the most amazing time and I'm...
