Please do not take one individual's cruel responses as to how we feel, as you say the HHO forum is a great place of support & knowledge unfortunately the minority can ruin that atmosphere. Healing thoughts are with you and your fluffy family x

Thanks everyone, I thought I was going to have to make this decision late last winter but we reinjected the hocks and had an improvement (albeit with many hiccups through summer) they were redone in October but sadly it's the suspensory which is causing the issue again. She doesn't box rest and...

I don't know how true it is but I was advised it secretes through their skin and urine, so if true it's not just handling the product that can cause the issues.

Winter is probably the best time to stop Regumate as in theory mares do not have seasons in the winter, but with the mild weather we've been having there are mares still having them. I found my mare had a very strong season for the 2 months after I stopped Regumate so this is something to be...

Am I wrong to be considering putting my mare to sleep? In summer of 2023 she sadly damaged her suspensory (fore) and was also diagnosed with arthritic changes in her hocks and one knee. We have attempted to rehab and maintain with steroids & shockwave treatments, water treadmill and input from...

I'm NHS and my role is actually quite flexible. I only attend the office twice a month, can flex my hours to suit each day to a certain extent, so will sometimes have a longer lunch or start later to get a ride in the morning. I receive 33 days annual leave and can purchase an additional 10...

I use these too, can fit 1 turnout in each, or 2-3 fleeces/fly rugs/sheets. I also use for saddle pads (have to fold- but can fit about 6 in each bag!).

What a beautiful mare and BOGOF!

Yes you can, but need to purchase them within the 6 months of the prescription being written.

We were chatting to our new neighbours the other day, when they moved in they had a young looking black cat I mentioned that I hadn't seen him for a while. It appears he wasn't too pleased with their new addition of a dog, but then mentioned he wasn't yet neutered as the children would like a...

Either in my breeches if they have a thigh pocket or in a 'runners bumbag', they're very small and basically fit only my phone and a few extra strong mints for the pony

I bought some Premier Equine Vinci boots and have found them to be hard-wearing and comfortable, have worn in the cold and recent hot weather and not suffered with frozen toes or sweaty feet.

It's similar to this. When first bought I placed in her mouth a few times whilst empty and let her get used to it being in her mouth, then slowly released water a few times - now she stands with me whilst I fill it waiting! Just slide it either side of her lips a few times until the water is...

I use a drencher to wash and force any stuck food out of my horses mouth due to her having diastemas. This works well and she actually seems to enjoy it!

@Puffinollo have a look at Nikwax basewash or basefresh, we use it for all our sports clothing washes and have noticed the difference since we switched.
