    For Those Who Wanted to Know - LOU

    I feel I should offer some hope although I don't really like to tempt fate but here goes... I am currently awaiting a loss of use payout (read arguing with insurance about horses value) but the day I get my horse branded is not far in the future. My girl a write off with Sue Dyson spent...

    DIY Livery Leicestershire

    Hiya, I live in Loughborough and stable at Blaby Mill stables in Blaby (they do have a website). So it takes me 30 minutes which is not ideal but I work in Birmingham so its do-able. I can't see it being much more than 20 minutes from Syston and its a pretty straight route. Facilities...

    Loss of Use - Dizzy Update

    Can I ask you some questions, feel free to pm me if its better. Who are you insured with? I have had a loss of use claim accepted but have had 6 months of arguing over figures. Have they offered you full pay out? I only ask as they offered me less than half of what I paid a year ago...

    Help!! Horse started Windsucking :(

    I would choose Coligone or call trinity before spending ££ on the over the counter probiotics etc..neither would work out more expensive. Coligone is cheap as maintanence and trinity would make something bespoke.

    Help!! Horse started Windsucking :(

    Maybe his belly is feeling a bit acidic from the lack of grass in the field? I always thought that wind sucking was because of the horse trying to relieve a an acidic or bloated feeling, I guess then it become learned. You could try Coligone? or give Trinity herbs a call?
