Hi - my horse has hock arthritis and has had Tildren and hock injections as treatment so far. I am also looking at Magnetic boots to see if that may help. Does anyone have any experience with using these with a horse with bone spavin?

Can anyone recommend a good equine massage therapist that covers the Hants/Berks/Surrey borders area?

Can anyone recommend a good riding hat for dressage competitions. I'd like a traditional velvet hat with a flesh coloured strap. I like the beagler shape but it has to be a hat with a harness and that confirms to standards. I have a very small head and riding hats often look so bulky that I'd...

I think I may see if I can hire the arena before I go so my horse can get used to it!

Is anyone doing this at Wellington, Hampshire this year at Prelim level? I have my two qualifying tests for this and this is the first time I am doing it and just wanted to know what it is like, or if anyone did it last year how was it? Thanks

Does anyone use this as a calmer and is it an everyday supplement or just when required. I am looking at the valerian cordial. I am aware it is banned for competiton use. I have tried many magnesium based calmers but nothing much works on my boy. I am looking for a calmer for hacking as that is...

thanks to all of you. I'm sure my boy will be fine, but I might see if I can borrow one from someone first

My horse was diagnosed with KS five months ago, not a severe case, and I decided not to go for surgery and had Cortisone injections in his back, a series of shockwave therapy sessions and on-going physio. I was on a lunge program for 3 1/2 months, all long and low work, and have just started to...

Does anybody know if you can hire these massage pads from anywhere? I'm interested in buying one for my boy, but he is a very nervous horse and want to try this before i buy to see how he reacts

Thats great to hear. My boy had his first session today. Physio first, then shockwave after. He has two more sessions of both over the next four weeks. Fingers crossed it works wonders for him too!

I heard some things about Devil's Claw being bad on the liver but not sure how true that is. I'd like to give him a supplement but there is so much out there, it;s difficult to know which one. ive also heard of Danilon but I don't know much about that.

My horse was recently diagnosed with kissing spine following a full body scan and x-rays. He has had one cortisone injection in his back and have been lunging for the last four weeks very long and low. I am pleased to say he has already improved in his back. My vet is now about to start a siz...

Thanks I have just looked up Iridology - looks interesting, I might look some more into this. So far, I must say I have heard very good things about Bowen therapy which makes me feel positive.

I am thinking of having Bowen therapy done on my horse. He was ill seven weeks ago with two bouts of colic, a bad reaction to sedation and then we think gastric ulcers. I say 'we think' because all his signs pointed to gastric ulcers and so the vet put him on GastroGuard. We couldn't confirm the...

Hi - Has anyone bought an item from Hoofheartedequestrian.co.uk? I am intruiged to find out. I ordered 2 items over 3 weeks ago from them. They have taken my money, not heard anything else since! I have tried emailing them but no response. If i call no-one answers the phone and if I leave a...
