She’s had a full body bone scan which came back clear, as well as all legs x rayed. She had her suspensory’s scanned and nerve blocked by two different vets which didn’t show anything/improve lameness. Her lameness since retiring became so subtle that it was only really me/vets that could...

Hi, please no nasty comments! I’ve got an 11 year old cob, who is sadly retired already! She went lame in both hind legs Jan 2017, I had every test under the sun done but multiple vets and no one could find any rhyme or reason as to why she was lame. Due to the lameness being so subtle and...

She was turned away July - December but unfortunately hasn’t made much of a difference. I’ve had multiple vets involved and everyone comes back with it being hock related. Just out of possibilities what else if could be, even if she has to retire early just wanting an answer now :(

Thanks for your replies. Having her pts isn’t an option, she’s more than happy in day to day life, she just changes into a mega spooky dangerous horse as soon as anything Work related is involved, hence I’m now questioning if it is behavioural.

I bought my mare in May 2015, I bought her as a confidence giver and she was as bombproof as they come. In October 2015 she started bucking as this was out of character I obviously had the full MOT done, was told it was her back, saddle, and her wolf tooth needed removing, all of which I had...

She's had the full MOT several times round. During all the lameness/sacro issues we saw 6 different vets plus an orthopaedic specialist. I use a Mctimoney chiro who is brilliant, but along with the vets has said there is no SI problems. She doesn't object to tacking up at all but you can see...

My mare has been turned away over the summer due to a mystery lameness, I'm going to try her mid October to see if a bit of rest and recovery has done the trick. If she is sound, I want to completely go back to basics and start from scratch with her ridden work. She has suffered with severe...

Ahh that looks nasty! Trying to catch hers before she gets like that, not heard of the products you mentioned before will have a look into it!

I did try her on marmite but made no difference so may try brewers yeast. Her rugs just been washed and repaired as she scratched holes through it! I've ordered another one too so I can alternate them and wash them as often as possible without having to leave her naked for any time.

Bags nearly run out so I'll swap her onto that one and see if it's any difference. Just can't believe how bad the flies are this year compared to normal!

Thanks everyone. Will definitely start by bathing her more and uping her piriton. Just feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall and wasting all my money on products that don't work :(

Alfalfa sends her crazy so she has no form of it at all!! Has a small handful of agrobs muesli just so I have something to mix her piriton with. Can't electric fence the field unfortunately as mixed herd grass livery with loads of trees as natural shelter which is what she's rubbing on.

She's in an equi theme boett style rug, and yes sorry forgot to add that, 10 portion a day.

I thought I'd managed to keep my mares sweet itch under control this summer but it's all of a sudden gone out of control :( she's now got bald patches starting on her mane where she's rubbing so much. She's on grass livery so out 24/7 I had been bathing her twice a week in anti itch shampoo...
