Mine was put in foal at 2.5years :/ before I got her... she now has separation anxiety issues and I have spent a year putting right all the physical damage she has suffered (I believe) as the result of her being bred from so young- OCD, navicular...IMO bigger slower developing horses are not...

I am currently bringing my horse back into work and ride them in a saddle co saddle however I have noticed after trotting or cantering they end up with a dent on the left hand side. I am going to try a non elasticated girth as I may be over tightening the double elasticated one I currently have...

Horse been lame since December last year originally thought stifle OCD so had op for that, still lame queue an MRI and inflammation of the navicular bursa has been diagnosed in both fronts so where do I go from here in terms of barefoot? vet coming to medicate the joint next week, horse did have...

My horse was diagnosed with bi latera stifle OCD in May and went for the op, she is now 13 weeks post op and her back end is much improved (even the vet is amazed at how well she is doing) however the horse is now displaying front left lameness,its slight and even vet had trouble seeing it...

Your horse went through an op that diagnosed OCD in both stifles, vet said to review at week 12 but upon looking left stifle has a bobbly lump (probably dead tissue) organised for physio to come out but seems to of backed out as been out to see horse previously and diagnosed growing pains..

I am really careful not to feed sugary stuff to my horse I think diet wise she is lacking a supplement and I agree her front hooves have gone 'splat' they did with shoes hence going barefoot but still splat :/thank u for input so far :) looking at pro hoof supplement is this the best one?

Hi thanks for all replies, no horse isn't currently sound- front left is a suspect but vet due out Thursday (horse currently on box rest) diet is two scoops of watered speedi beet and the linseed twice a day, I was feeding biotin but was told it was a waste of money to feed it. did suspect...
