Thank you all I really needed the reassurance that there’s a chance it could still be an abscess, as much as I’m being realistic there there’s a chance it’s leg, I’m not ready to say bye to her yet, she’s only 15 I will push for an X-ray first 🤞

Thank you for the responses. I think I was just looking for some reassurance that there is still chance it’s an abscess after this time as I’ve had very limited experience with them. She’s only had one before which also didn’t react to hoof testers but it did burst within a couple of days. I...

Hi. Thought I’d ask the collective knowledge of HHO for some thoughts. I’ll try not to waffle too much but make no promises it’s a bit of a story😅 Two weeks ago my mare came out of her stable absolutely hopping lame after coming in absolutely fine the night before. No obvious signs of injury...

you can’t get previcox for prescribed horses anymore sadly Equioxx used to only be available in a paste form so vets could prescribe prev for horses as it was tablet form and easier to get horses to take, therefore they could get around the licensing. However Equioxx is now licensed for horses...

Hi, I've had my mare on it for 5 years now, well, as previcox until recently but they are exactly the same drug. She was put on this as she absolutely cannot tolerate bute, it goes straight through her even as a one off so I can't comment on how effective it is compared to bute, but she's on...

I've got 2 on complete DIY no assistance available, and work 8:30-5:30 often running over that plus 30 min commute (not the longest but adds to the day!) I have a set routine that works for me, and quite frankly stresses me out if I stray from :') I get to the yard at 6:15 change their rugs if...

all those people saying there's no such publicity as bad publicity... I feel cheated haha Was given a set of Fairfax & Favour boots for my 30th a couple of years ago..... first wear and they came unstitched obviously hugely disappointing! Contacted F&F direct as with them being a gift no idea...

My mare has been on Previcoxx (dog version of Equioxx but my next order will have to be for equioxx now it’s licenced ?) for the last 4 years due to a lameness we couldn’t get to the bottom of despite full work up. Anyway I digress, she was put on it as she can’t stomach bute and she would need...

I use this to calculate how much fees will be, it's pretty accurate and goes both ways the fees are rarely as much as people think/try charge you when they do a 'price is £x if F&F or £Y if G&S' So for them to receive £30 you'd need to send £31.20 https://www.clothnappytree.com/ppcalculator/...

For what it’s worth, I sent my mare to her last year and who sounds like she had similar but more extreme versions of your mare’s behaviour. It was without a doubt the best thing I could have done for her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophie to anyone with a problem horse, she’s a...

Thank you both for taking the time to reply! ? Honestly, I think she knew I was starting to despair haha! She walked almost straight on tonight, managed to get her to stand properly inside and discovered she absolutely cannot resist the cheap equerry treats that come in the 15kg bag and will do...

I've fairly recently bought myself my first lorry, and in the excitement of finally having the freedom to get out and about, naively assumed my mare would walk in no issues.... For some context, in the time I've had her, she was transported a couple of hours to me in a 7.5 - I was told she...

I think I'm going to clip my youngster tonight/over the weekend. I was going to hold out as I'd left it quite late and was hoping to have her nakey and out asap but it's been so mild today and looks to stay that way, she get's grumpy if she's too hot being ridden so off the floof comes!

I always watch these threads with interest.... BE has always been the goal for me and it still is to a degree (albeit a long way off with a young horse and only just purchasing transport). The event I've got my heart set on doing starts at 100 so I know I'll need my MERS to get there but BE is...

Awh yay how exciting! Congratulations! I bought my first lorry in October, due to work commitments my horses didn't do much over winter so it's been sat but got it going now and I've got so many things I want to do! It's a bit overwhelming actually :D I've never even really had access to...
