    Op for Locking Stifles - any experience?

    I have found that a bit extra weight, muscle and very intense hill stregnthening in straight lines has made my mares almost none existent , may be worth trying that? Have you got a physio involved as they can often help with exercises / stretches where they are compensating with other muscles.

    Would you buy a horse with a splint?

    Yes and have disappeared or reduced on all horses

    Buttonholes for showing

    Just looks cheap and tacky imo- maybe a white or red carnation with a navy jacket for championships but even then ..

    Stubborn hives

    Thanks will keep that in mind... just been up to see her and they're looking even worse, she's absolutely covered and they look so red and angry :-( I'm at a loss!

    Stubborn hives

    Would be grateful for any thoughts/suggestions. For around three weeks my mare has been suffering with stubborn hives, which started after she was brought in from the field, after I believe, becoming too hot in her turnout (although it could have been a number of other factors that caused it)...

    Working hunter training :D

    Depending on your horses height and if you wanted to start doing showing you might be better hogging and trimming and showing in working cob classes :-)

    Rugs - has anyone else taken the plunge

    My fully clipped cob has been in her sweet itch rug alone for about 2 weeks, she has hives and anything else is just making them burn up :-(

    The things you find in the bed.

    Found half a hedgehog in some Alfa a once ! After I'd spent a few minutes trying to separate it thinking it's was a clump of alfalfa

    To shoe or not to shoe..

    I'm definitely not an expert in barefoot but do have two of mine barefoot. I'm of the opinion that when. Arefoot the horse is far more aware of where they're putting their feet and the ground underfoot. When one of mine was shod she did stride out a lot more over all terrain, but when barefoot...

    How do I get a yellow tail white!

    Wash and wash and wash each day with hot water then condition. Then chuck a tail bag on and wash weekly.
