My pony has bald patches under her mane. It started as a tiny patch on her face by her ear back in the late Autumn and has spread down her neck under her mane. She does have a scratch up against the fence but not excessively and isn’t scratching at every opportunity. I suspected lice but I’ve...

thank you! :-)

Hi everybody. I'm following on from a previous post regarding worming and I'm still baffled! I've had a WEC test from Westgate Labs come back high for my horse for Redworm. There is no mention of Roundworm so presumably this is not an issue. I am pending the saliva test coming back to tell me...

Thanks Auslander, I only know the worming history of one of them. The other is a complete unknown. That’s very useful, thank you.

I need to worm 2 new arrivals but am unsure what wormer to get them. There are so many to choose from ranging from £7 to £30 and I’m so confused! I haven’t owned horses for years and it used to be a choice of just 2 brands and now I’m getting totally baffled. Can anyone advice please? Thank you!!

I am planning to worm my 2 ponies but before I go ahead and blindly order a wormer I’m wondering if / what they need in the first place! There are so many wormers available at different price ranges I’m a bit baffled. Can I get them (cost effectively!) checked in the first place and if so how...

Amazing - thank you so much! ?

Grrr it won’t let me upload photo so link to what I have already Have here : https://www.theponytackshop.co.uk/libbys-miniature-pony-girth-2458-p.asp

I need a 14” girth for my Aviemore Pony Pad but I’m struggling to find one! I currently have a classic 14” girth (attached picture) but the buckles stick into the ponies side. I cannot find a small dressage girth (or something that provides a barrier between the buckles and the ponies side)...

Reloading as I had to adjust size and it’s gone up blurry!

Can anybody tell me what this is? It seems to have grown about .5 cm since I bought this pony a couple of months ago. It doesn’t seem to bother her and she’s happy for you to touch it / her ear? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Good points raised and it gives me a lot to think about. Mari - I handled her and picked up all 4 of her feet myself and she was as good as gold, no issues do I can’t see there being any issues with them not being able to get the farrier near them? Thank you again all, very helpful!

Thank you for the replies, very helpful! I really like this pony - I’ve been looking for a while and there aren’t many about in my price range / distance. It’s only £500 and as it’s a youngster I wasn’t going to get a vetting hence getting opinions on the feet. I’d loved to have asked my vet or...

Hi everybody, I’m after some advice pls re a pony I have viewed to buy. As you will see by the picture she has very long feet with horizontal rings. The current owners say that they just need trimming and they have struggled to get a carrier booked as they have been backlogged due to Covid...
