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 -...

I'm surprised your vet didn't scan! I've recently had a mare come in lame with swelling, vet came the next day, by which time she was sound but still with some swelling, so she had a couple of days box rest and some bute with instructions to bring back into work gradually. 10 days later, I...

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!

Connie started one of mine for me and she was excellent.

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...

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...

Thank you!

Thank you - I’ll google the L94 and see if I can get some!

@TheMule thank you! It does look pretty similar to what you’ve posted x

Thank you! I’ll take a look.

This looks very similar! And I do have some flamazine too - will have a google.

Mine also started with the dewy grass! Seems to be a bit about! What region are you please, and how do you find out about the copper aspect? I’m Dorset but I’ve no idea about the mineral aspect! Thank you - I’ll give this a trial - the steroid really doesn’t seem to be doing much! Thanks...

This thing on my mare’s leg does look very like mud fever to me! No buttercups or anything obvious here though, and never normally have any issues with mud fever on this land. Yours sounds like it progressed ever so quickly!
