When I was old enough to buy my first horse (30) I wanted something sleek and brown and beautiful..I met and fell in love with my traditional h/w cob - and here we are 16 years later I still have him, he is 23 and retired but we have had some wonderful times together and he is in Canada with...

Is it the same time of night each time? I would just 'turn up' and refill his net so they see that you know then the camera issues never have to come to light IF you are on dodgy ground....I would be furious with them! We had a girl on DIY that was caught taking hay out of other peoples nets...

I alternate a couple of fly masks each as one of mine seems to rub sometimes and so causes the sore bits himself! I find just changing them helps...

Woohoo great result!

Maybe not excited but I sigh with relief at having a barn full of hay :)

If you are concerned of course message the owner - they can choose to answer you or not - although the OP is confusing it sounds like you are concerned that noone is bothering to check on the wounds...

Have not read the entire thread, but totally agree with this :)

thanks for this I watched it on fb and was cracked up! :)

I have never understood the derogatory term 'happy hacker' - I did a bit of everything on my first horse, but hacking was his thing - he is now retired and so flat work up and down the road is all he does... my other horse is my dressage horse - his job is defined, we walk up to arena and back...

well I am pleased you had such a good lesson, sounds like a huge release of tension :)

Love this!

Good for you! :)

its a little odd though, if its an abcess then you would think the bute would help to take the mask the pain - but of course the issue is that it may not burst...would want the vet and farrier out - can you x-ray on site?

this is exactly what I was going to say...my old git stops drinking too, and when we get to minus 10 and below the apple juice works, plus I add heavy mineral oil to his feed (always salt ) and make that sloppier too...

could you possibly rota them - 2 in, 2 out maybe even overnight?
