I have these https://www.premierequine.co.uk/products/sale-vinci-waterproof-zip-front-boots-brown I love them. Fit is good, they are comfortable and waterproof. Only niggle is that the zips are starting to fail so I might just take this sale opportunity to buy the non zip ones.

I have used Cavallo boot with kevlar pads over shoes for a prolific shoe loser. They recommend the pads to stop the shoes damaging the boot.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one. My Reincoat Air let me down badly on Thursday during a dog walk. Shoulders and arms were soaking and I had to change my clothes. It's the first real test it has had and I wasn't happy. I left a review stating it had leaked badly which led to the company...

If he is incredibly stiff then I would say that he is not sound in general. Sounds like pain and compensation. I'd avoid.

Assuming you have checked everything that could be pain related - eg saddle fit, girth fit, how you are mounting, back pain etc then do an Internet search for "Richard Maxwell mounting block". I have used this method successfully on a few horses and it is the one method that has consistently...

I had a tibial plateau fracture after my dog ran into me at full speed in the dark. A bit older than yourself. Didn't realise I had fractured it for 3 months - it hurt like hell but I was hoping it was soft tissue and never got it checked until a physio suggested I get an MRI. I had surgery...

I'm also another that would recommend lots of groundwork. It takes a long time to build up a relationship with a horse and for them to trust you and take confidence from you. All I can say is that you are very brave to have gone on a solo hack on a horse that you have only been sharing a month...

But surely if you are a car driver going round a corner on a road that isn't wide enough for your car plus two horses abreast then you should have already slowed right down in anticipation of meeting another car coming towards you on the corner? Two horses abreast take up no more room than a...

Agree with this. Why not just get the fitter back out to adjust the Wow? Also, I find one of these essential for a bony backed/sensitive TB: http://www.lemieuxproducts.com/lemieux/half-pads/half-pads?zenid=726d079c21c7d0da5a52b9e46beafed1

There's a PSD discussion group on Facebook which would be worth a look - plenty of experience on there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/255267791160904/

Do/have you used it then with a gastroscopy to confirm results? I'm very interested - looks like it works out about a quarter of the price of the Peptizole.

I thought the whole point of Gastrogard and Peptizole vs plain Omeprazole was that they had an acid resistant coating that prevented them being destroyed before they could do any good. So even if you are thinking of buying from there for ulcer treatment it might be a waste of money.

There are various agent codes you can use that will give you at least £60 off. Or email them and ask to buy with the £100 discount that they are giving at Badminton - I'm sure they will oblige or give you a code for more than the £60 off. Quick google finds agent code AE7055 which will give...

There's an "unofficial solutions saddles" FB group which is useful for picking up second hand ones. All fully acceptable to Solutions Saddles, they will check they are genuine saddles and will also send out fitters to fit them.
