Instead of going for a stronger bit, why not try a loose ring snaffle. When mine was ridden he would bulldoze in an egg but but with a bit of work went lovely in a loose ring. And far happier than a stronger bit (which we tried a fair few)

If you go to the website allaboutdogfood uk you can compare foods and make an informed choice. Food is definitely the key.

My old boy damaged his stifle. Bute worked to a point but was uncomfortable. We did not investigate due to his age and I know how he done it. We both then needed to retire shortly after. He looks sound living out and is happy. He pulls it every so often which we deal with Bute and then fine for...

Stuben string. Worked a treat for my round cob cross with no back or legs! Swear by them

My retired gent lives out naked. He is 27 years old. If it is very cold and wet/snow he might have a medium on for the day. Apart from that naked at all times.

All normal if not happening to often

Did you find somewhere?

Hi sweet pea. So sorry babe. I know without any doubt you have not let anyone down. Your love and care for him would of been 110% and will be after he has been set free. I am sorry you had to go through this so soon after the move. You know where I am. X stay strong. Love GW x

I had this after moving yards last year. My vet put him on milk thistle for 2 months and changed from hay to haylage. His second blood test came back much better. Will be getting re tested in June to check again when jabs are due. He was having soaked hay before and was blood tested for a...

Agree. Have no choice but to use one though as he would eat for England. Tried and tested. His neck muscles under neck have definitely grown. Roll on summer. Can't win either way

You do realise that the damp in the air makes shavings go dark. Just because they are not pristine white anymore doesn't actually mean the horse has made them dirty. X
