I do agree. Our farm vet has clean overalls and disinfects himself pre, during and post covid. However, this post was specifically about equine consultations.. I think if the farm vets said to farmers, OK, we can PD your cows/treat your sheep/operate on your pig, but you’re not allowed to be...

Having worked in vet practice for 10+ years previous, I have to agree that there’s no reason why vets shouldn’t be seeing clients as per normal. If they insist on wearing a mask to walk into reception/collect drugs, I’d be ok with that. However, all clinical workups, visits etc should be treated...

Hi All, Ive recently started my Welsh on Protexin Acid Ease for some gut lining support. He’s probably been on it for about a week now - just on a maintenance dose. I’ve gone out to him this afternoon, and he seems very itchy! Am I right in thinking this could be the Alfalfa in the Acid Ease...

I just found a new farrier (Cheshire) - stupidly didn’t ask for prices before getting them out.. £80 for a Shetland trim and pony trim:eek: Won’t be rebooking with them anytime soon

I’m going to the Charlotte Dujardin Masterclass at Myerscough on Saturday and then Xmas fun planned for Sunday. A non horsey weekend for me! Apart from trampling through the mud to turn them out and bring in ?

This is the combination I’m going to use. Out of interest - do you leave any days apart between the two doses? Do you give Equimax/Eqvalan and then Equest a few days later?

I should be able to help. It depends what business you have in mind? Are you creating an online retail shop? Buying a product and reselling?

Exactly this! It’s frustrating that you can’t leave negative or neutral feedback for buyers. I didn’t know you could report them, so I’ll look into this!

Are there any ‘avid’ eBay users on here? I’m selling brand new horsey items on there at the moment, all at very reasonably prices and open to offers with fast postage etc. I’ve had so many people make an offer, I’ve accepted or they’ve won the auction but then they just don’t pay. I then go...

Good luck with the performance! I’d be happy to buy these tickets off you.

Yes everything you have said is very relatable. The more I’m around my own, the better it tends to be. I do have asthma and hay fever too. I’m on very strong antihistamines that only just touch the allergy symptoms! I just absolutely hate the constant sneezing and itchy eyes!! ?

Is anybody else genuinely allergic to horses? Has your allergy ever put you off wanting to do things with them? Any miracle fixes apart from the usual antihistamines? :oops:

I can’t help but feel totally gutted for Piggy. I just find her absolutely fantastic with her horses and as a person in general. Great work by Gemma though, well deserved.

Interested to know if anybody ‘does’ anything with their companion Shetlands? I bought mine recently to keep my Section D company, he’s only young therefore not suitable to be backed just yet, or do anything too strenuous. I just wondered if anybody ever takes theirs into the arena to do some...

Does anybody know if spectators are allowed? I’m pretty sure they are, however I wondered if somebody had some clarification? Thanks
