Britestar, thank you. Was that a Guardian mask?

Thank you all for your replies. I have read everything that I could get my hands on regarding ERU and was sort of clutching at straws, hoping someone would tell me their vet had been wrong in their diagnosis and their horse ended up having something totally benign instead. As I said, clutching...

Gus had his first bout last Spring after he punctured his cornea with a thorn of some description. We treated aggressively, he recovered and the vet assured me there was no scarring at the back of the eye, and therefore there was a very good chance this was a one off. Then he had another attack...

This is my 3 year old homebred, a magnificent animal, the gift that keeps on giving the vet all my hard earned cash!!! 😡 EYE ISSUES - experiences and outcomes please. Anything at all that could keep me believing that the vet's diagnosis of Recurring Uveitis could be something else...

One of the nicest youngsters I've ever seen was by Medoc. Unfortunately he didn't make it to being under saddle :-(

Brightbay, I had seen that video before as its been doing the rounds on fb for a while. Whilst it is lovely and essentially this girl is doing the all the right things right, there are several problems with the video itself. I have to add here that I am talking from the viewpoint of someone...

Not that again.... The other thing the WHW fail to factor in to their skewed statistics is that one mare breeders will most likely keep the foal... that is what non commercial means. Ps Agree with Spring Feather about definition of "breeders".

I'm not sure any of us can say for certain that this is the case across the board. There are at least 2 commercial breeders that I know of on this forum (HenryHorn & JanetGeorge - I hope they won't mind me naming them) who breed horses that are sound and sane and who, given the right rider and...

Fat Max, 3 years 3 months. I won't start doing anything with him until the autumn. He's 16.2hh and growing in all sorts of directions. He won't be sat on till next year. I've got to say he looked a lot better as a 2 year old... :-S

So sorry A. Last time I looked at your updates, she seemed to be out of the woods. Sometimes it is just not meant to be. (((( hugs ))))

Sorry, I pressed return before I finished :-) It is nice when they are lovely and sweet like that. Enjoy!

You'd have to wait until the autumn now to have him done because of the flies, but if it were mine, I would have him done sooner rather than later. For the sole reason that no matter how laid back he is, his hormones will kick in eventually and in my view there is only one reason to keep a colt...

One mare I had simply didn't ovulate when short-cycled (given prostaglandin). Had to go with her natural cycle and took first time every time.

So pleased for you x

W&W, absolutely right IF the mare only has one copy of the grey gene. Only 2 ways to be sure. 1) if the mare has a non-grey parent 2) if she gets tested as heterozygous grey. If she is homozygous grey (has 2 copies of the grey gene) all her foals will grey out.
