I own a hackney mare who suffers from very severe sweet itch. She gets it between her front legs, on her legs, her udders and the usual places She lives out all summer in her boett blanket which covers most of the places she gets it. The only place is doesnt cover are her udders and her legs...

I snapped mine off completely when I was 14 (26 years ago). At that time nothing was offered apart from being told never to ride a horse again - yeah right - I still can't sit properly - have to sit on one buttock them the other - can't really go to the cinema or anything like that as sitting...

My horse had seedy toe which developed into a massive abcess in her hoof which has now caused trauma induced laminitis and her pedal bone has slightly rotated. Could be something similar

Sounds like the mystery surrounding Chelsea (my mare) and one rug which was on her when I turned her out but was found in the next field, still fully done up - front buckles, crossed surcingles still done up - rug just seemed to have blown off of her

I have a very thin skinned hackney mare who suffers from severe sweet itch - whether this has anything to do with the trouble I have clipping her I have no idea but I have done everything properly - ran clippers near her for a year but as soon as they touch her skin she will try and kill you and...

Thank you all for your replies. I'm feeling much more confident about it now as it is only a slight rotation - she's about 4/10ths lame on it. My vet and farrier are marvellous - emailing xrays, discussing on the phone - the farrier being there when the vet is. My farrier has put a plastic...

Nope its due to a seedy toe which developed into a massive abscess which meant half the outer wall of her hoof had to be cut away, which meant although she had a heart bar shoe put has caused very slight rotation of the pedal bone. All the info I can get isn't very hopeful

Hi, I'm new to this forum thing - not sure what I'm supposed to do. I desperately need some help/advice on pedal bone rotation. 3 months ago my 12 year old hackney mare had an abcess deep inside the hoof almost near her coronary band. She was on box rest when it rained, hot tubbed every...
