Feel for you too. Mine was so confident and forward off the leg and responsive although he isnt now dangerous he isnt the same at all. Its been suggested I give him time off to grow up and not work but tbh what we ask of him is not really work. Usually hes with another horse and a person on foot...

Just wondered if i could ask your advice re my 4 year old. Hes been broken and does light hacking. 1-2 times a week for 30 to 45 mins. I had introduced walk/trot transitions and he seemed quite keen on trot until he started getting a bit odd and he would like round at his tummy and stop. He was...

It would depend who you get. I have an instructor come for mine and I pay £20 for an hour including petrol.

Hi. Just wondered if anyone has had allergy testing done on their horse or pony and if it was of any help. Thanks

He is fed in the corale on his own and the other 2 are fed in the field. I don't have stables, They are quiet and both eat at the same rate so never any squabbles. He has to have his headcollar on, gets tied up,gets his bucket when hes standing nicely. He's a gem in most ways. Can touch him...

Just wondered if i could pick your brains. I have a 2 year old who i am having a bit of a problem with. He is brilliant in so many ways but is a really pushy boy around food and if he wants attention. He seems to take absolutely no notice of body language from the other horses or me. I used...

im with cinnamontoast. i wish with hibiscrub the once then cover lower legs in pig oil and sulphur

13 yr old tb x welsh. First started noticing symptons beg dec 11. Reluctance to be girthed, refusing jumps, uncomfortable picking back feet up to be picked out, head carriage of a giraffe, shuffling gate on hind legs and a canter that was a bit like riding a pogo stick. First checked by vets...

Do you want to know about the symptons, op, rehab etc? My mare had kissing spine but not sure what you want to know? Ta

cptrayes. I apologise if you feel you have been abused although i have re read my message and don't think i did. I also think my post that you responded to was terribly worded so understand why you said what you did. I had a rubbish day and didn't re read what i had written so i agree it...

Well at 7am this morning i had one of my friends horses PTS as she was unfortunately not able to be there. Bit of a crappy way to start a day especially in this rain. Anyway it got me thinking that i don't have a plan should i have to make the decision for one of my guys. I know its a bit of a...

I had this problem with my mare when she needed to go in for a lameness clinic but she didn't load. We spent a week working on loading, got her to the vet but then she refused to come home as being at the vet stresses her out. I had to get her sedated to bring her home. That is always an...

Thanks lynds81. I think my message was probably terribly worded but what i was trying to get across is she doesn't seem like she needs to be rushed in. I have taken video of her walking and trotting today and have sent it to the physio and the vet. I just don't want to put her through things...

I would not allow my animal to suffer and would never brake the law so thank you very much for being so harsh cptrayes. Are you telling me everyone who owns horses has thousands put aside in case insurance companies don't pay out. I don't think so. We do the absolute best we can for them but...

Am really pleased for you. Great outcome for a rubbish condition x
