I have a second hand Bates Isabell which I keep intending to sell but have not gotten around yet - was thinking of around £500 is 6 yrs old... Msg me if you are interested?

I have had great success with the spray from Equitec called Mud Stop. Was recommended by local tackshop as produced locally to us. Spray it on and don't do anything else. Scabs fall off within 2 weeks and reveal pink skin... Recently tested by friend on yard who has tried everything, she was...

My horse was photosensitive and had heightened liver enzymes in her blood, therefore either the liver damage causes the photosensitivity or the st johns wort I guess... I understood it was a combination of the both? At my yard there were also horses who tested fine on their liver, but had had a...

Could you PM me as well, as my horse is in a similar position as person who started the thread?

Oops, also Congrats!

Thanks for the responses until now - pls keep them coming! I have no idea where my vet sources it, he seems to find it very standard, he has done it to several event horses on our yard, who are sound now...
