Hi Everyone :) I've been trying to reply with an update since Friday, though for some reason H&H seemed to have been playing up... So, an experienced Vet came out and ultrasound scanned my mare. He said she isn't in foal, and her ovaries are barely 3cms when they should be 5cms. He couldn't...

Thank you Red-1 :) At the moment, moving isn't an option unfortunately - there are a number of reasons :/ If she is in foal though, things will change for certain and I'll not have any choice but to move, as two of the four stables big enough for a mare and foal are used by the yard manager -...

Thank you alainax :) Thank you TheMule - I suggested he do that, since she hadn't been palpated since March. But he gave a long explanation as to why he'd rather ultrasound scan her, though as he's not from the area and was just doing a shift to cover another vet, he couldn't arrange anything...

Hi Everyone :) In case anyone is interested, the vet who visited today didn't have any equipment due to a mistake the receptionist made by writing that my mare was suffering weight loss o.O But has suggested I get my mare booked in to have an ultrasound scan ASAP. He said there's a risk she's...

Heyy 😊 I'm new to H&H forum, so am still getting used to using it - please bare with me! A Feed Guide I originally complied for a shop I used to work for (that sadly went out of business before this guide could be shared with the local equestrian community) was sat in my laptop...

Thank you all for such interesting and well-explained responses! I feel I have learned a lot from all everyone has said - I'm very grateful you all took the time to reply, thanks again 😊

Thank you so much for such a well-rounded, comprehensive response! ��

Hi Everyone, I'm new to H&H Forums :) Please don't let this debate escalate into an argument! Though I'm currently injured so cannot work at the moment (injury and work are horse-related!) and have been finding ways to keep myself occupied - aside from writing books :) Something I've...
