Interested in what people are saying about ovary removal- I've had a couple of people mention it to me, it seems to be becoming a more common treatment now - I guess because it can be done as standing surgery? Does it give good results?-it's a drastic option, but is it worse than pumping her...

I have a similar problem with my mare, regumate helps but she still comes into season so would be interested if anyone had any opinions on this one. OP did you speak to your vet and what did they say? I am going to talk to my vet this week too. Can't you just tell spring has finally arrived!!!

Could the regumate be combined with a marble, never thought of that one? Also has anyone tried Intrauterine Plant Oils, that seems to have a good success rate, but I haven't come across anyone with real life experience yet.

Couldn't agree with this more, that's exactly how I've felt too, the fighting becomes exhausting doesn't it? I've taken a different tack and allowed myself to take a step back and just do groundwork, or gentle hacking etc when I couldn't take the fighting any more. It's important to give...

Thanks Guys, I feel a bit more prepared now!! - Hope you all have fun with your showing this year too..!

Another vote for Rescue Remedy from me, hadn't bought it for years but got some after having some problems with my new girl, it really works!!! Never thought of giving it to my horse too tho'..... Also find a supprotive hacking partner if you can, if your horse has a friend they can ride out...

I've decided to take my girl to her first show in the next few weeks. We're just doing an in-hand class first time out just for the experience, we'll have lots of support on the day from friends, but I really don't know what to expect as I've never done anything like this before, so any tips...
