I am also 62 but do ride regularly. I also swim every day, walk the dogs and do circuit training twice a week as well as poo picking and mucking out. I think strength training is good for maintaining core strength as you get older so force myself to do the circuits! Swimming very good for...

Generally takes a couple of weeks. Ordered last month, no problems

Would you do better feeding something like Haygain which is soaked into a mash? I have two 28 year olds who eat this instead. One also has COPD.

Sounds a good idea to me. I find full haynets when soaked can be very heavy and I have good upper body strength. Have also landed on my bum more than once when the string has snapped. Good luck. Hope you get it done in time.

Yes. Nothing to be found and several years on now. Assume they are still there. One of those things, happens to humans as well. He eats well, is ridden, good weight, management and maintenance rather than cure. Not in any distress.

Nothing worked for one of mine, nearly £8000 of treatment and vets were stumped. Keep him happy with brewers yeast but assume they are still grade 4. Foregut responded slightly, hind gut not at all.

I have sent you my old pony’s bloods form Jan 2024 for a comparison. She had dangerous liver readings. She is still with us 2 years on having refused to eat any supplements to help her!!

Yes, I was a bit surprised as well. It is 20 years since we bought new

We had a similar pony, very frustrating! Eventually sold him to a home with a less competitive child who adored him. One tip for your daughter though, years ago an instructor told me to sing while I was competing to a)make me breathe b) relax me and c) relax the horse, at the time I was belting...

You are probably getting a bit overwhelmed by all the replies on here. Try and stay positive. Rooting for you x

I feel for you and you are doing really well. Sometimes it just happens. My horse is 19 now and I have had him 14 years. He bit me on my back on Boxing Day through a coat and gilet and made quite a mess. I was doing up his girth. He does have ulcers which did not respond to treatment and can get...

I put mine in the leg pocket on my jods, friend had a small bum bag like runners use. I also got lightweight fingerless gloves which made using it much easier Where are you going?

My two 27/28 year olds are both on Simple Systems haycare as both are struggling with hay this year...
