My horse has developed inflamed rings under his skin. There is a couple on his withers and starting to appear down his side. The is also a couple on his neck and one on his jaw line. The first thing which springs into my head is ringworm however the hair on top of this rings has not changed...

Someone else recommened those to me. Are they pretty reasonable?

Hi all! I have a shire x tb (bone of a shire!) and looking for some reasonably priced x country boots. I have tried premier equines air flow boots which are fine in front however they rotate and slip on the back. The best schooling boots which I have used are the Clarendon ones however the...

my mare has bone spavins which then threw her back out. due to the situation i was in at the time, i couldnt afford the injections. we gave it a good 3 months to come right however her back just kept going out every 6 weeks. i was working her at novice dressage and her hocks just could...

the straw should have soaked up the wee provinded it was a big ebough bed. i have always had my horses on big straw beds and not had a problem. if it is anything like shavings then all the wee should be at the bottom of the bed in which case take out the poo first then chuck all you clean...

the JW one is also good as the ropes are colour corordinated so it can never really get tangled and in a mess! and there are an extra pully on it! definatly a good buy!

the grass is higher in sugar durin the day as said above (!) and they actually tend to eat less during the night. i have a mare who used to live out at night and in during the day when i was competing her and it seemed to work. it also gave her time to deflate before i rode in the evening! also...

i am on a straw bed and really like it however when i gett he money i am moving to rubber matting and shavings as it is so much easier to muck out espcailly when they are in during the day and i muck out in the evening

mine is 15.3 and has 10" bone on her leg. shes a cob x but moves very lighlty in the dressage ring!!

OMG i drove past there about 15 mins before on way to yard.

i am in the same shoes as you. my mare has been off for 2 months and just come back into work due to bone spavins and very bad back. she always used to rush when i jumped her however as i increased the flatwork she did get better. you sound like u could do quite well in the affliated prelim...

i lunge in side reins and a saddle so that thew side reins go onto the girth. this way my horse streches over her her back and virtually has her head on the floor in a steady rytham. for me it avoids arguments which i may have on board and actually makes her work over her back. pessoas are...

i work in accounts but previous was head girl on a yard tho had to give it up cause of money. still teach every week tho.

she lost it in the ring. it just happened to be in an international ring. if she had done that at somewhere like wales and west or bicton or somewhere less profile this debate would not be going on. she has guts of steel and i would certinly not like to jump over a 7ft high wall and she has...
