    hay replacements and feeding a senior horse

    Hi guys :) My horse has just had his yearly rasp this morning and my vet told me that he’s lost a few molars at the back and the teeth that he DOES have left are very smooth. She talked to me about looking into hay replacers however the information online has been massively overwhelming and...

    Looking for some advice, incredibly upset about this :(

    Thanks so much for the support guys, your kind words have really made me feel a little better. He is a naturally flighty horse anyway, so I think if it gets to the point where he is seriously struggling to cope then I know I'll have to let him go. I'm just hoping and praying that this will be...

    Looking for some advice, incredibly upset about this :(

    Thanks guys, he seems perfectly happy at present and is still quite happy to tootle about the school and the field without much trouble. He has a check up in 6 months to see how much it has progressed but my vet is hoping it will take a good few years to get to the point where I'll have to make...

    Looking for some advice, incredibly upset about this :(

    My vet said it's a degenerative type disease that happens to a few unlucky horses, and that there's no treatment :( not even in humans is there a treatment for the condition

    Chris Brisbane - Shropshire based 'Horse whisperer'

    He worked with my horse who was dangerous to the point of being put down. Worked wonders on him, methods slightly more hands on than what you see with Parelli, I recommend him for the slightly less 'sensitive' horse who needs putting in their place

    'Damaged' horses- success stories please!

    When I first got my horse I was literally a novice owner, competent enough on board but had no confidence on the ground, so I guess you can say a 16hh competition fit Dutch Warmblood was a bad first horse! He was beaten to a pulp at the first yard I kept him at, causing him to be utterly...

    The mystery of the swollen fetlock...

    Undecided- thanks for the reply :) I have had stable boots on my horse for about a week ish now and they did help the swelling go down slightly, but the swelling is still there. Tnavas- that's my next course of action, trying everything I know to shift the swelling and see if there is...

    The mystery of the swollen fetlock...

    My horse came in from the field almost 4 weeks ago with a fetlock the size of a balloon, so as this wasn't the first injury my horse has had with his legs, I phoned my vet and she came out to see him. Had a prod around, he wasn't sore in any area of his hind leg, both around the hock and...
