Apologies for not having been on here for ages, you may of read my recent post about the sad loss of my boy George, who I am missing terribly, he was my horsey soulmate. I would absolutely love another but my OH is really not happy with the idea at all, he doesn't like the commitment (despite...

Gosh I do hope Hovis is ok.

Thank you all for your very kind words, and it is so nice that George was remembered by so many of you. I know I'm biased but he really was one in a million. I really am finding it so hard to manage without him, OH is not at all keen for me to have another which is difficult, although I do have...

Hi I have not been on here for a very long time, but I maybe there are still people here who perhaps remember me and George from when I used to post regularly. I just wanted to say that very sadly my beloved George was put to sleep on 6th October. He had been semi retired for the last 3 years...

Hi all, just wondering if anyone else's horse has come in from the field drooling lots of saliva? This happened to George a few weeks ago & it was like I had a giant St. Bernard dog on my hands! He was totally normal in himself, eating well, normal temp, rests etc. I spoke to the vets & they...

I’ve not been on here for a while, found it a bit difficult reading what everyone was up to when my boy was broken again. Anyway, thought I’d do a little update in case anyone was interested! As some of you know George was diagnosed with hind leg PSD in June last year and had the op to...

Thank you again for your words of support, I'm still hoping against hope that all is not lost, but also thinking about options for the future if he doesn't improve. Figgy I've sent you a pm. Esther - thank you very much for the offer of your book (so kind), I have a copy on order from the...

Oh dear I am sorry you are having troubles as well, I can't offer any advice, but I too will be following this thread with interest as I may need some of the advice in the near future. Take Care

Thank you all for your kind words and support, I was already happy with the fact that we would become happy hackers, just pootling around enjoying ourselves with no pressure. I've had George for 7 years and in that time he has taken me places, and done things I never dreamt of - jumping, cross...

I’m feeling really down at the moment and guess I just wanted to share. I’ll try and put it as briefly as I can, but I’m sorry it might go on a bit! Last May George went lame behind and it was discovered that he had hind leg PSD and in July he had the neurectomy and fasciatomy surgery on both...

Hey, good to see you on here, you must be so excited about getting Murphy back! Would love to see a pic of him before you set to with the clippers. Unfortunately things not so good here as poor George is broken at the moment.

ALO can I ask you how you did the barefoot rehab at home? Pm me if you'd prefer - thanks.

Thank you for your positive stories, they make me realise there is still hope! I have emailed Nic at Rockley, to see if she has any advice, but I'm guessing she is rather busy! Criso & toomany horses, which are yours on the rockley blog? So glad for you that things are improving. I've...

Thanks. Laafet the irony is that I am with KBIS, I have spoken to them & they have asked me to put it in writing which I have, maybe just maybe they will back down, but I doubt it, I'm prob a bad risk as I claimed £4.5k for his Rao & £5k for his psd - they prob want shot of me!

Isn't it a mindfield, I am so confused. I will ask the vet again about what treatment he would recommend if we knew what was wrong, but he seemed to imply that the mri would be helpful in that we would know what was wrong but it wouldn't change the treatment greatly, but it seems that may not be...
