I do use NT dry but I also use (not at same time) virtually all Red Horse products and a basic athlete's foot powder spray from the supermarket - the latter is actually pretty good especially for overnight. Addressing feed is also a never-ending task, no matter how correct it can look on a...

What a lovely feeling that is! Congratulations :)

Both my horses and I live in Back on Track gear as soon as the weather dips cold, to compensate for various fractures and arthritic joints! Of all the horse gear, I have made best use over 4 years of the mesh sheet as it is ideal on its own and also works as an underblanket in the very cold...

I feed my horses a quick-soak unmollassed beetpulp once a day as a mineral and linseed carrier, because it hydrates them, gets their vitamins and minerals into them and they love it and look amazing. Because they love it and look amazing, it's the stuff of choice for me :)

Not as a separate item but it is included in my ForagePlus balancer (the Laminae Plus version); it's also added to certain commercial bagged feeds like Saracen Shape-Up.

Easyboot Gloves do need to fit accurately and are sold singly, as are many of the other brands/styles like the Cavallo Treks. If it's any consolation, my mare has 3 different sizes of Gloves across her 4 feet... Are you already using the 'wide' fit version? Get in touch with one of the boot...

Interesting, sonjafoers, I have found exactly the same. Interestingly, this was also mentioned in the last Trinity Consultants newsletter: 'Dehydration causes shrinkage which exacerbates arthritis as waste voidance from the cells slows down resulting in congestion and free radical build up'...

I've got the Iberian style one and it's very lush! Been using it on my mare the last couple of months a few times a week as we had saddle fit problems, so I've been rotating between riding saddled, in bareback pad and properly bareback. You get a really good feel through it but the requisite...

Loving it except for the night-time mugginess and no sleep! Love getting out for hours and hours in sunshine now I've finally got into a routine with applying sunscreen!! Horse loves it but she's from Israel so is in her element, her feet have been getting fabulous since the ground completely...

My mare has been displaying a soft swelling under the jaw for at least the last 48 hours and has resisted being bitted. Two small harder buttons above indicate fly strike of some level and no discharge or other sinister sign. She had 6 hours turnout today without a grazing muzzle for the first...

Mine's on the laminae plus balancer from forageplus in a bit of kwikbeet at the moment - because his feet splatted totally on the grass :(

Totally agree - talc works!

I feed spirulina to support my horse's immune system and to help with allergy management; it's an expensive way, though, just to add protein but, having said that, it is a complete protein and on just 40g/day she looks amazing. Our hay is horribly low protein so this just tilts the protein...

Love Back on Track. I've used the mesh sheet for four years now - great on its own before riding or competing or in winter under a stable rug to help keep those muscles relaxed, without over-rugging. I also use the leg wraps for a horse prone to LGL in very cold weather. Their products work for...

^^^^ Same here. The dry ground is fab for producing nice rock-hard feet, no cracks or chips, and no hoof dressing required. I'm sure it won't be long though before we are back to bog!!
