My mare is in season today- I'm wondering if anyone else's mare are still cycling? It feels very late in the year, especially with the clocks going back.

No, they haven't been, although my vet palpates them today. as it appears high up and they don't appeared reactive or inflammed. Can I ask why you ask whether they have been scanned ?

Ahh ok, thanks. Did you just push for more investigation following a clean xray? What is the process of an arthroscopy?

Honestly I have no aspirations of anything major- but at the minute she isn't sound enough to do walk trot and canter and seems that everytime I try and introduce canter she becomes worse. I can't help but think there is something else going on

She has this in her neck but hock and stifles look clear and doesn't quite explain the acute lameness. More the ongoing poor performance

Hi, I'm Looking for some thoughts and suggestions, I have an 8 yr old Connie mare, 2 yrs ago reviewed by the vet for shuffled gate, not quite performing to her best- not lame but not using herself correctly. Work up, back x ray all clear. Bute trial triggered mild colic and found ulcers. Ulcers...

Is there such a thing? My daughter is alway hot but needs to wear tweed for NSEA and PC, I can find solid colour summer weight jackets - just not tweed. TIA

Hi all, I'd appreciate thoughts on balancers and supplements. I have a 8yr old Connie mare who was diagnosed and treated for ulcers last yr and diagnosed with arthritis changes in her neck, which were medicated with steroids March 2024. She is currently in full work and going well. She is a...

In summer I still have to fill hay nets and soak hay- any tips for keeping hay dust off skin and clothes? I seem...

Thanks. She is a grade 3, although she is a great example of breed and her sire is Drumbad Fletcher Moss, but I cant find anything about her dam who was class 3, so she is class 3.

Hi all, I have a lovely Connie mare, 15hh she has the perfect temperament and great attitude to work and life, a talented allrounder. I'm looking at breeding her, but completely stumped about how to even narrow down my options. I would like to think I would keep her foal long term for myself...

Great, thanks for that- I’ll give him a call

Thanks so much for that info - @spacefaer can you recommend the supplier of chopped straw to me- although I’m in the midlands.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the EasyPack. Thinking about it, most bedding options will be dusty when its dry in summer. Also seems to be near impossible to order a pallet load for delivery!

Hi all, I have been using Sorbeo for ponies in a field shelter, however, I am moving house and having proper stables. My cob gelding is very clean, but wet, Sec A is a mess pot and the shetland is fairly tidy. Sorbeo is great and an easy muck out, very absorbant. But it gets dusty in the summer...
