    Bentonite long term

    if thats the ONLY reason then can you feed one feed a day with all supps etc in and a smaller feed other end of day with the clay in? thats what is recommended with sucralfate which can also block uptake of nutrients etc

    Why can’t I just do stuff with my horse? Is there a good calmer to help?

    you were either grossly exaggerating how bad she was, or grossly exaggerating how good she was. the narrative changes to suit the responses you get and anyone can find that/see that. if you know her so well and have so much back up IRL and can read the situation so...

    revolting attitude. poor horse as no doubt this just encourages more pressure to be piled on with zero prep in the future..................

    Feeding a fussy cushings horse

    if she will eat everything in a small bit of recovery mash stick with it? or cush care is supposed to be very palatable

    Edix Union “bareback pad” for everyday saddle?

    thanks! i do and i LOVE it, narrow twist and super stable. used it on an XXW welsh and a TB and both went well in it. had zero issues with pressure points with the slight caveat that i only weigh 8 stone but i do know plenty of people in the 9-11stone weight bracket also using the for daily...

    Why can’t I just do stuff with my horse? Is there a good calmer to help?

    too much too soon and expecting WAY too much IMO as everyone else has pointed out she has effectively lost her foal (she doesn't know he is coming back) and all of a sudden is being put under pressure to go on strange transport with no emotional support whilst likely uncomfortable from a not...

    What could cause an otherwise bombproof horse to become wildly spooky and upset?

    feed or ulcers would be top of my list

    What would you expect from a horse trainer?

    this. virtually impossible to do it this way the horse needs to be on site and doing a little session daily

    Mainly day dreaming but does anyone breed these any more?

    Keratex hoof hardener reaction?

    unlikely to be a reaction but its literally formaldehyde so do you REALLY want that on his feet? footy and sore despite shoes would worry me, there is something serious going on internally and i think a vet call is in order but i would be taking a long hard look at foot balance and shoeing and...

    When to give up?

    sell him him for team chasing and hunting.................. you are making yourself miserable and frightened to the tune of £1500 a month

    Tempting fibre sources?

    my TB prefers rattley nut type things before work, so any kind of fibre cube that can be fed dry is fine.

    depends if this is the ONLY issue and the price reduction-are you getting a £60k horse for £20k in which case id consider it or are you get a £14k horse for £12k in which case a hard no.....

    Experiences of liveries at Kelsall Hill and Somerford Park

    i have taught on both these yards. somerford you are going to struggle for decent turnout, its all over used and over grazed there is never much grass on it. time wise i dont think its much either and i doubt theres much flexibility regarding care eg they all get the same at the same time every...
