    Sore across and around shoulders

    One of mine recently presented with this, very sore both sides all through thoracic sling and shoulders, and as it's not a regular occurrence, we think it's where she jumped out of the field (thanks to the hunt thundering past!) which is on the side of a steep hill, and most likely the back end...

    How steep can sheep climb? Thinking of making a bank instead of fence to keep them out

    Joining this thread just to say that sheep are the most frustrating to keep in (or out). I have 3 and despite the fact that two of them are old dodderers, virtually nothing stops them going where they fancy. They go through fences, over fences, under fences and they will also destroy the fences...

    Wood Pellets

    I tried branded and unbranded, but am a massive fan of Silva Bed - they're slightly pricier but they last for ages, smell lovely and the most absorbant ones I've found. I've used 1.5 pallets of them in 12 months for 4 horses stabled everyday between 12-15 hours depending on the time of year -...

    Air Jackets

    I'd definitely suggest getting one fitted - I went to Redpost Equestrian for mine and I thought I knew exactly which one I wanted. In fact, I ended up buying the Equiline as it fitted the best of all of them!

    Horse not happy hacking out alone all of a sudden, Tips please?

    I had one who struggled to hack out on her own but would go out fine with in company -turned out she had very low grade foot pain, and when we resolved that, she was fine to hack solo again. I feel like there's some sort of trigger stacking mechanism, whereby if their attention is being...

    Hind suspensory injury in an 18 yr old horse, what will the outcome be?

    I'm afraid I too would be considering a very guarded process if it's anything chronic with the suspensories. I spent 2 years and £££££ rehabbing a horse who was incredibly special to me, who was diagnosed with ulcers, mild hock arthritis and hind suspensory issues, the right side being worse...

    Photosensitivity / pastern dermatitis

    Thanks Paddy - stupid question, but did you keep the socks on when they were in the box, or just turned out?

    Photosensitivity / pastern dermatitis

    I wondered about this but it’s such a localised reaction if it is!
