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

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.....

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...

so weight wise he actually looks good (and ill admit to being surprised but in a good way!) however he is lacking muscle over his topline and i wonder if perhaps his saddle (which fits at summer weight) is too wide or low or both? i'm not 100% sure about spring fever etc and IMO the horses that...

id be amazed if a TB has wintered out well with zero hay-any recent body pics?

honestly no wise words on here will cut it, you need professional input from people trained to help. if its that frightening do you really want to keep doing it? you dont HAVE to ride the horse as long as he is well looked after if all you want to do it be around him thats ok too?

theres nothing particularly unusual about it (not to say she isnt very pretty) but she is *just* liver chesnut :)

if she hasn't been going out then sedate her initially. mine was never box rested so never ran around.

mine struck in to his SDFT in the lorry and we turned him away for a full year before starting rehab. the more time you can give it the better. he was competing at elem and training adv med at the time, we have started again at prelim and he is about ready to go back to novices but is training...

you need to send the horse back and not get another one until you have space on a yard with turnout IMO poor horse is being blamed for this when its cooped up all day and likely not even given a proper work out when it does come out the stable. if there is not turnout available they need to...

been using hay cubes for years with a selection of thuggy stallions and never had one get in a pickle with it-the smallest pony sometimes hooks a leg in it but extracts himself without drama i will say although they are great in theory you do get a lot of manky yucky wet hay collect in the...

if you break it down and spread it around thinly it will help.....just dumping great big blocks will not

same, normally completely successful!

activated charcoal as above but possibly too late now to work....hope all ok!
