Thank you all for your replies. You have your opinions and that is fine but I do find some of them quite judgemental. I rode the first time as the injury was obvious. Small about of localised swelling on the skin. No lameness. Leaving her to cease up and get tight could also of been an option I...

Brief history. 6yr old Irish sports horse bought 5 1/2 months ago. Was kicked by an unshod 13.2hh pony on Friday morning. Came in with slight swelling and heat in bicep femoris area (bum muscle next to tail). Cold hosed and hopped on. Felt fine. Walk/trot/canter leg yield, shoulder in. Then...

So glad he is settled well and things are going well for you :) we too ventured to a local "dressage show" at the weekend. I saw about 20 people which was classed as "busy". Tests are very different. How exciting getting a trailer. Good luck with your first outings and report back so we know...

Kent and masters. Our gelding was under developed when we bought him lacking both weight and muscle. The kent and masters has been a god send. Have the changable gullet has been great as he has developed and changed shaped. I believe the tree is sprung slightly so very forgiving and shape...

I have only ever had good dealings with them. Last year they paid out a huge claim for hind suspensory injury including all diagnostics and stem cell treatment. Year before the same for a front tendon. Their customer service and reliability has got so much better in the last 3-4 years IMO

Homes4horses. An excellent organisation. Having rehomed my much loved horse via them I would highly recommend. I could of never found such a perfect home for her without their vetting etc.

Maxavita maxaflex is excellent

Love mine!! Best fleece I have ever bought. Worth the money!!

Equiture. Great value and quality. Am so happy with mine. Had it shipped to the states. My horse is the envy of all her American friends!!!

It's so lovely to here you are noticing the same differences as we are. I think everyone here thinks we are so fussy. I still go twice a day as I'm so in the habit. We did try to find DIY but couldn't find any at all. I would feel a lot happier if there was just grass but I suppose it's just not...

Yes it's just the same here. I'm trying to get more hay but yard owner isn't having it. You found linseed? I can't find it anywhere. I am thinking about switching mine to one of their senior feeds as it's got a much higher fat content without the added protein. Hopefully we will get the balance...

I'm so glad he has settled well. It's nice to hear you are finding the same things as us even though you are on the other side of the country. We are in the middle of a slight debate at our barn regarding hay. They just don't feed forage here. So weird. Look forward to hearing more about your...

I got a made to measure ideal Jessica saddle from minster saddlery in kent. They travelled to me in Essex (Chelmsford) for £30. I have also used Martin wilkinson to check saddles and my friend had a jumping saddle from him. he was very helpful

Sorry to hijack post slightly but have to agree with CFU when it comes to American riding styles. I have just moved to the states (6 months ago) and I have never seen anyone riding out on a road. The first time we did it we had abuse hurled at us by other road users. Everyone else at our barn...

I don't think so. I could try. Has anyone used any form of cool cube supplement. I have looked online here and I could get hold of something like that
