Ill need to take a look. She's a real weirdo when in season, she's trance like coming in, snorting and fire-breathing. Would rather be on two legs especially if a boy shouts on her. She's such a sweet mare otherwise, not a bother in the stable.

I honestly could have written this about my rising 3 year old ? im glad I'm not the only one. She is sweet as anything to catch, but when shes in season she gets half way in, then squeals head tosses ans up she goes. Luckily she doesn't bolt anywhere but it's infuriating. She's just so...

Which shavings fork do you all recommend? I always swore by future forks, I love that theyre lightweight and always seemed strong. I had one for years, after it gave up I bought another the exact same and it's felt so weak and rubbish from day one. I did contact them to ask if anything had...

Thanks. She still has hay as an option but she's not been successful in any attempt to eat it. Luckily just now she's on grass, she seems to do better on shorter grass. She's a good doer even for her age so grass for now should do the trick. I'm thinking more long term all my horses get as much...

Hi, I've recently acquired a wee golden oldie pony. She was a childhood favourite who I have got back from a riding school. She is late 20s, she is getting the dentist next week as she has been quidding her hay. I fear this is down to old age but until the dentist comes I'm unsure. I looked...

Sometimes I appreciate that my parents weren’t horsey because it’s truly “my thing”

Think my mum loved that I was at the horses all my childhood she had all the time in the world to do her things. I was semi feral. Now she can’t understand why I’m still always at the horses when she needs me for something.

Sorry, late to the thread but have loved reading what Evertone thinks. I think dreams change and grow the further you get you always strive for more. My dream was always to get my own pony, my mum and dad weren’t horsey so I stared at the local riding school and I’d be there everyday after...

Vet been back again and took stomach fluid. I’d like to get to the bottom of her pain for now. I will see what comes back, she was so bright and bubbly just two weeks ago. I wish she could just tell me what’s going on.

Can I ask how long your pony had the virus and what the symptoms were? That’s interesting, I’ve never heard of that before. Spoke to my vet today and she’s not keen on putting her on the prascend again while she’s feeling poorly. I’m so fed up. Vets been today after she wouldn’t get...

She’s off the danilon now, she had it for 2-3 days after the dentist left as he did say she’d be sore but didn’t think for any longer than that (1 week ago) she doesn’t seem to be struggling when she’s eating haylage. Just not interested in it most of the day but will pick. She’ll...

Thank you I will have a read now :) xx

Thank you :)

The problem wasn’t she wouldn’t eat it, it’s that she wouldn’t eat when she was on it. I can give her the tablet in a treat, but she lost her appetite big time. Thank you though, that’s always good for if she decided she isn’t eating it 😂 which you just never know with horses.

Thank you :) that’s my logic too. I’m hoping for a call back tomorrow so we can start again. I did try half, but never quarter. When she started vet said just pop on one a day, but it didn’t go well, so we went to half. She’s a very fussy mare! And very smart into the bargain so I feel...
