    Equine Physio South Gloucestershire

    Who ever you use, please make sure they consult with your vet first. This should be standard procedure for any physio type people. My friend didn't do this and whatever the practitioner did made her horse worse. Normally your vet should be able to recommend someone they work with.

    Changing Greys...pics please :)

    Hi I am looking into buying a grey, but burley from personal preference I like darker steel / iron greys rather than the lighter / flea bitten greys. My experienced with them has always been that they get lighter but I am not entirely sure how light they go...or if there even is a...

    Buying a youngster from Ireland?? Help please!

    You misunderstand me, I have not personally used this yard so therefore I couldn't recommend. However, I have seen a number of ads for horses who do seem to be pretty good. There was no inference from me that the yard was dodgy. I simply have no first hand experience of it yet. I can't help...
