Just comming in on this thread so not sure of all the facts but, if he has had 'something out' with his back neck etc might he have a sore muscle as he would have been compensating for however long he had been wrong for. It might take a few sessions and some light work/ rest/ time/ stretching...

Hi its about a year old (no sooner) but you can always check with your vet. As previously mentioned the older they get the more wear and tear their hips have got so do it sooner rather than later for a clearer picture. Its quite expensive it cost us £200 to get it done, so if your not thinking...

Hi what can i say i bought a NF filly 3 years ago as a six month old foal to keep my other pony company, with the view to selling it in the spring. She's still with me and i'm a convert from warmbloods to forresters. Calm sensible cheap to keep, full of love and life if you want it. I just sat...

Hi I would contact your vet for some advice, once you have a diagnosis you can treat/ cure. I am a great beliver in cold hoseing, and try some leg ice. This worked wonders for an old mare of mine who had had tendon injuries in the past. With most of these leg ices you dont have to bandage but...

Thanks for this I will ask my vet about these products. I am stumped with regards to these lumps as i thought that grass related glandular issues would resolve once the horse was removed off the pasture. This has not been the case with my filly. The vet did hint that if all being well...

My 3 y-o NF pony has developed 2 swollen lumps under her jaw where you would get strangles abcesses. She has now had these 2 lumps for nearly 3 weeks. I have had the vet out to her who put her on a 5 day course of bute 1 sachet twice a day, but things are no better. I then brought her in off...
