I need to take my mare to the vet clinic but recently sold my box, so need to arrange transport. Can anyone recommend a transport company near Newbury, Berkshire? Thanks

Thank you, it is encouraging to hear another success story! Mine also isn’t doing any box rest, but is going straight out in a small paddock. I will speak to my vet about Indiba treatment and see if he thinks it would be beneficial for my mare. May I ask where your physio is based?

@Julia0803 thank you so much for taking the time to reply. It is really helpful to read your journey and I am glad that you managed to get your boy sound again. I have been through the emotional rollercoaster that is rehab a couple of times before so I know how tough, and heartbreaking, it can...

Thank you, it is good to hear that there is some hope for a full recovery then. I want to give her the best possible chance, so fully prepared for the long and slow rehab 👍🏻

My horse has recently been diagnosed with oblique sesamoidean ligament injury via MRI and ultrasound. Prognosis is guarded at this point. Has anyone else had a horse with this type of injury? Did they return to ridden work?

my dachshund is a super ratter too

Just looking to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar, as I can’t decide if I’m overthinking it and looking for something that isn’t there or not. So little bit of background - my mare is generally okay to clip, little bit ticklish around her flank but no more so than other...

He doesn’t look nearly as bad as I was imagining. Give it a week or so and it’ll be fine. Quite a few years ago I got half way through clipping my pony when the blades completely gave up. I was meant to be competing the next day and couldn’t get hold of any blades or clippers in the interim...

I can’t remember what brand it was, but I had one with the velcro attachments 3/4yrs ago and that was terrible for letting the rain in. It’s one of the reasons I’ve stuck to combos most recently but I do like the idea of having more flexibility with a separate hood and being able to change the...

Thanks everyone. Interesting those of you that have mentioned the mane rubbing as this is something I want to minimise as much as possible and I thought a standard rug with hood might be there than a combo but seems not

I need to buy a couple more turnout rugs ahead of winter but undecided on whether to go for a combo or one with separate hood. My current turnouts are all combos but I like the look of the Amigo Bravo which has a separate hood. My only worry is the rain getting in. For those of you who with the...

Thank you all for your thoughts. She’s currently just in a single joint, which I don’t think she minds, but she is a senstive type and does have quite a petite mouth so I am going to try a NS eggbutt with a lozenge and see how she goes. Has anyone found a huge difference between the horses...

Having tried a couple of bits it seems my little mare does not like a loose ring. Unfortunately I don’t have any dressage legal bits that aren’t loose ring in her size As I’ll be buying new I just wondered what people would suggest as a starting point. She’s currently ridden in a loose ring...

Great, thank you.
