More gentle hugs and good wishes your way Mrs J

Because she is fine with them passing but not up in her face. I've no issues with dogs off lead that pass us by paying no attention but I do have issues with owners that let their dog bound over to you regardless because theirs is friendly. I tend to go on routes others don't use but there are...

I've had several instances of all breeds being allowed to run up to Kizzy (less than 5 months, very skinny GSD) and they all call "hes friendly". She's scared of dogs. Get yours away from us. Thankfully most of them have recalled them away but bloody hell it is ridiculous. We had 3 on one...

A few .months ago walking Fraggle the spaniel. Saw a dog up ahead so popped him on lead. Get closer and the owner is looking at his phone so I should asking him to recall and put his dog on lead. "My dogs friendly and won't bother you". Said dog goes past and approaches from behind. I stop...

Like the others - suregrow. I had my 2 yr old Arab on it for a year alongside alfalfa chaff and speedibeet. He did great. Added weight so he looked good without being fat.

What is Cu/Se/Zn? Se I'm guessing is selenium. Zn might be zinc?

Shires Highlander and gallop trojan are great. I did find my mare who is in a 6'0 rambo, Gallop Trojan 6' is too tight in neck for her. - she's a Highland but it fits my Arab great. I do love that all 3 of mine fit 6'0 rugs generally.

Artimud is great for plugging holes to stop further stones/mud getting up in them. If hes sore with boots I don't think shoes would make a difference. Where is he picking the stones up from? Is it out hacking or is it when walking from field to stable? I knew a horse that had to wear boots to...

60 days feedmark original. £43 50 days winter balancer forage plus £59 36 probably balance plus £48 These are the numbers I got? Mine are on progressive earth as its the only thing I've found works for my barefoot pony. My friend has hers on harbro own one scoop supplement and they look...

Thinking of you Mrs J

The feed you have him on sounds fine just now. I would use a fibre source if you really want to give him a little more energy when ridden: speedi beet/fibre beet/ fast fibre You may find it takes time for his topline and muscles to build but slowly and properly is the best way to go. - My...

Glad Jessie dog is doing better. It's really difficult but it sounds like you have given him every chance and doing what you can and as you say there does need to be a bittom line otherwise we are then doing it for us rather than them. Positive vibes still sending your way as Mon is a ways off...

That was my worry so I've thrown a wormer down my other 2 and my friend did the same with hers. We usually wait until end of Jan. I didn't know that about Westgate but it makes me feel a little better knowing it's across the board and I've not missed something. It's scary to think there...

A final update: thank you everyone for your well wishes. Negative for cushings. Very high for redworm and likely the cause for her colitis episode. She's been wormed today. (She is up to date on worming, worm counts and tapeworm saliva test so this is a huge shock. She gets wormed every...

Sending all my positive vibes to both Bertie and Little Jess. It's awful to feel so helpless
