I have got some that I could pop on her. I doubt it is the noise because she's been shod every 4 weeks pretty much since I've had her, bar the bit of time I tried to retire her and when she's been on holiday, but it's worth a go.

I hope not but with this horse you never know 🤣. She's 15 in April

Yes, a few different types of boots and pads. She's got really good feet, and if I'm being completely honest if she didn't have the back issues, I probably would have persevered longer and I think we would have got there. But physio (who is the most pro barefoot person I know) and vet, were both...

We have discussed MRI in the past. Another issue with her is that she broke her back 2 years ago, and since them has really struggled to travel. So, although I say she tries to come with us, if I were to actually load up and drive off, she can't stand in the lorry anymore. She just hasn't got...

Because she doesn't cope in work without them, and didn't cope mentally where we are with not doing any work at all. There's lots of turnout, but it's just not very interesting and there's nothing else retired that could stay with her all the time, so she had lots coming and going but wasn't...

Sounds awful, but I wouldn't normally. She's just ones of those horses that gets you. We've been through a lot together, so seems silly to stop now, no matter how expensive it may be 🤣

Oh and she had her teeth done today aswell, and she fractured a tooth. Because why not 🙈🤦‍♀️

Sorry for not updating everyone sooner. Things did not go to plan 🙈 On the Sunday 21st before the vet was due out the next day, my mare decided it was a brilliant idea to go through a 5 bar gate 🤦‍♀️. This is the 3rd gate she's gone through since I've had her, and yes there is fencing around it...

Mine has been absolutely adamant that Bute and Previcox are not to be fed together. I could have a chat with her about swapping to the Bute before and after though, as I know the Bute is stronger. Would be a real shame if she does need more painkillers as we were talking about trying to wean...

This is my biggest concern I think, she has some slight swellings just above the coronet in both front feet and I'm worried that it's pointing to something like that. They're in the wrong place for ringbone I think, but I guess the x-rays will tell us. God, this weekend is going to go slowly...

Yes, will stand happily on it straight away.

Absolutely fine, loves to have nice stretch back. Although I guess that in and of itself could suggest an issue too, I've never really thought a lot of it as we do leg stretches everyday and she really enjoys them.

She does have back issues, hence why she isn't ridden. She fell over and cracked 2 vertebrae a couple of years ago, and since then it has developed into KS around the affected areas. She very, very rarely pulls shoes and has lovely short toes with good heels and frogs (not typical TB feet), so...

Silly question possibly, but if it came back positive, would then medicating with Pracend likely help with the pain?

I will make sure the vet does that then. Had no idea the free one was less accurate!
