My 22 year old who also has cushings - been on prascend a few years now and each year he seems better than ever! This was a couple of weeks ago at arena eventing -

My horse has been on prascend for 3 or 4 years now. The only blood tests he's ever had were the original ones to see how much it bought his levels down. They have recommended getting his bloods done again but haven't made me. I get 6 months worth at a time and they never even ask to see him. He...

Yep, I have no idea of his actual breeding but he is apparently arabxwelshxtb! Thanks so much, yep I'm not bothered about where we come, just getting round and enjoying it is my aim for now! Just need to keep getting out :D Ah fab, well good luck with him! Hopefully you'll have years of fun...

Wow, what a transformation! She's beautiful! Welshies are great...even with their antics :D I have a little sec c who was meant to be a buy and sell jobby too...also ended up keeping him! He's currently out on loan, your pics make me wish he was a hand taller though cause they are such cool dudes!

Ah thanks, he's a lovely boy :D Hopefully one more ode then I'm going to attempt some arena eventing over winter! Thanks! He does love it, which is why I really just want to make the most of it while he's still able to do this sort of thing! How old is your baby pony? I'm so glad 60cm...

Honestly I tried to get around it with the weights, but its such a pain I ended up doing the test. It really wasn't that bad. And probably will save money in the long run rather than only being able to have a specific car to tow it. If you get stuck that means you can't borrow another car to tow...

Hi guys, I usually just lurk on here but though I'd post now that I've actually managed to get out doing stuff! My horse Hamish is 21 and I've had him since he was 13 but lack of transport and the on-going confidence crisis that is my life means we've never done much. Had a massive meltdown at...

If he's looking ok weight wise as he is then I'd probably just stick to the same routine he's already on and just make sure his feed is extra sloppy to avoid choke! If he really seems hungry then you could up the hay overnight -soaked if need be?

I have a single ifor and tow with my freelander (old shape), tows perfectly fine. My horse is only 15.3 so not huge though.

Thanks! Yep I'm thinking of hiring out some local showjumps this week :D Ah sorry you had a naff examiner first! Well done for passing through! Yeah I guess a big part of it is just luck of who you get, mine chatted a little at first asking me about my horses which made me feel more relaxed...

Hi guys just an update to say I passed my b+e on Monday! :D I spent ages reading every single trailer test thread on here and it all helped so thought I'd post my experience incase it helps anyone else. Iwas pretty nervous about it, mostly I was worried I would make a stupid mistake and...

Why don't you look for a private instructor who has a trailer you can use but you use your own car? That's how I'm doing it. That way you could have a lesson to brush up then use their trailer to do the test with.

Thanks so much everyone, its a massive help just reading everyones experiences! My test is going to be 10am on a monday so hoping it will be fairly quiet at that time, or at least not mega busy.

Thanks guys, yeah I've been shown the right order to couple uncouple and have been doing that each time I use my own trailer at home to really cement that into my head! Also done the reversing manoeuvre fine I'm not particularly worried about that but have got another session planned just to...

If anyone has done the test would you share your experiences please? I have had 5 hours training so far, have a further 4 hours booked and then the test is booked in for after that. I'm ok with the coupe/uncouple and reversing, its the road part I'm most scared about! I know from the training so...
