Hi there, Cant say i know what the white patches are but our pony developed blue patches in his eyes and this turned out to be the classical signs of liver disfunction. Irridology (sp) is a fascinating subject, if you google catherine edwards in surrey she is the lady that gave our pony a...

I have a kia sportage but wouldnt use it for towing a trailer with pony/horse. Think the Sorento is better for that, it had a very good write up and takes 3500 tow weight like the discovery.

Yes i am, i will tell her to get in touch.

Im afraid i am the odd one out lol. Probably just my experience but i have an ideal event saddle which is lovely but i just find the seat too huge for me and i feel very lost in it. Ive only used it a handful of times and now seriously want to sell it on. I'm afraid im an albion convert lol.

Was going to say after reading this speak to Babybells, she has been a massive help to me and our pony with his liver prob.

Hi there, Havn't seen your original post on your mare but would like to say thats a lovely pic of her. Have you tried Triple Top Up (Badminton feeds) it comes in a 5kg tub. I used it on my boy who is very difficult to maintain/gain weight and he is coming on a treat.

lol im the opposite, i love the wintec pro dressage - had a thorogood but it was too wide in the twist for me and gave me a bad hip.

Unfortunately you need new ones each time. My shetland had these for lami (just fronts) at a cost of £100 a pair every 6 weeks (ouch)!!

I use the Equilibrium ones as they can be left on all day or all night - found them very effective on filled legs and also on windgalls too.

Thanks K27 must admit I have been thinking along those lines which is why i am very reluctant to change. I am going to say i want to stick to single toe clips as this is what she has had for ages with no problems.

No did have a session with Suzanne Marshall though which went really well. About 3 weeks later little mare refused to load again - i went back to the ground work with the dually on and then presented her at the foot of the ramp again - this time she loaded fine. I do find that whenever we load...

Thanks for that, so its not really a bad option then.

Ah you may have just answered the problem then. He asked me what i do with her and that is dressage with a bit of jumping. He did say she was a big mare so he would do double clips (she isnt that big to be really honest she is the lighter modern hanoverian) - big boned maybe. He will be...

Hmm just seem strange he wants to alter her feet when they are the best they have ever been - its taken us ages to get them to how they are as previously they were unbalanced but are now quite a good pair. Am i being a bit over cautious?

Hi there, I have recently changed farriers and was wondering if someone could tell me the pros/cons of shoeing the front feet with double clipped shoes? My mare has only previously had single toe clips but the new farrier wants to change this. Any info appreciated
