    Just won't heal.

    My horse cut his leg about halfway up his NSR cannon. Not a big deal. Some anit-bac cream, few days of antibiotics and it's just about healed. Looked at it earlier this week and the original cut is gone, but it now looks like he's skinned a patch about the size of a ten pence coin. Been...

    Thoughts/advice sought.

    The other day my horse came in from the field with a cut on his leg. About an inch long, half a cm wide and fairly deep. Doesn't require stitching or anything, however. There was no heat and he wasn't lame. Gave it a clean and stuck some flamazine on it. Anyway, this morning when I went to put...

    Transporting

    It's been utter chaos. Looking for Horsebox hire in the aberdeen area. Don't want a trailer, as I'm not confident of his travelling in one. Any ideas? Heard that there was someone in Cammachmore but can't seem to find anything else on that. Any help HUGELY appreciated.

    Barefoot Farrier (Aberdeen)

    There is nothing wrong with my current farrier, however I am moving yards and am unsure if he will come to the new one. Thanks for all the info. I think Mark Hill does the horse I'll be field sharing with, so that might work out best. Thank you.

    Barefoot Farrier (Aberdeen)

    Can anyone reccommend a good barefoot farrier? They don't have to be a barefoot specialist, of course. I know Richard Binnie does great barefoot trimming, but I don't think he'll go south of Aberdeen.

    So, what is it with Racehorses?

    I wouldn't say I'm by any measure an experienced horse person, but I do have decent confidence. My first (and current) horse is an ex-racer which I bought because he was running circles around his previous owner. He's *very* smart and he does use it. Pretty much echoing what's been said. He...

    DIY Livery? (Aberdeen)

    Spoke to Lyn Taits, she hasn't got room but she took my number anyway. Currently in negotiations with a livery at Drumforskie (taking forever, I'm starting to give up hope on that front).

    DIY Livery? (Aberdeen)

    Ooh, thank you v muckle. :3 I'd rather not go past Stonehaven or Aberdeen. (Though I realise I'm asking a lot here) One horse, currently in Kingswells. I'm limited to public travel and my leggies, see. Might have a look at East Crossley.

    DIY Livery? (Aberdeen)

    Just wondering if anyone knows of any yards that don't show up on searches? (for example Bardspark Farm and Downies don't come up on "livery aberdeen/shire" or "stables aberdeen/shire" Portlethen/surrounding area would be ideal. Thankee.
