Have PMd you

Hi - I recently moved my daughter's horse through from Edinburgh area to Glasgow. If you are on Facebook, I would suggest that you post on Livery Yards Central Scotland and Horsey Stuff for Sale Renfrewshire. You will find that a lot more people will see your post than on this forum (although...

Had the same problem a few years back. Abscess and foreign body removed under general anaesthetic, can't remember re after care but was minimal and horse back in work within approx. week.

Can't help re boot, but I have found feeding Cleavers and Marigold from Hilton Herbs helps a lot.

Thanks Caol Ila - does look like a lovely yard, however definitely need a larger school.

Hi Chocy. My concern about Ingliston would be the noise level on party nights, haven't been there for a couple of years as they no longer run affiliated dressage. What are your concerns about the yards on my list? PM if you prefer. Thanks

Jo and Flora give care second to none and they have bred a couple of foals in the past couple of years. If she is not able to accommodate you herself, her advice will definitely be worth following.

Hi He was diagnosed with pemphigus foliaceus, however the it is very difficult to get a positive diagnosis due to the blisters being so fragile. The biopsy has to capture a whole blister in order to get a diagnosis and they only last a couple of hours. Zander was like a hat rack when he was...

Hi My daughter's horse suffered from pemphigus as a 4 year old. He was treated with very high doses of steriods which helped but the condition came back with a vengence each time we tried to wean him off them. I asked my vet to refer me to a homeopathic vet. She spoke to Tim Couzens (a...
