Great idea! you are lucky to be so light!!!

He looks like he will be a nice sort and lots of fun.

It so difficult to get the right balance! I have 2 very good doers who live out 24.7. We feed big round bales with a trickle net which helps. There is very little grass although I have noticed them now be away from the hay and been nibbling a bit. I took the round bales away and gave it twice a...

That's what I was told. So worm end of Feb. Its been a very mild winter as well

Sounds dreadful to me. I sent a horse to be sold in November to a sales livery. Before he went she had all the pictures and the spec. He arrived on Tuesday and was tried Wednesday, sold and vetted Friday! picked up Saturday.

Well done for picking this up when he was jumping. I hope he has a speedy recovery- hopefully he will settled with the box rest. Mt own horse really cant so box rest and box walks I have thankfully only had to do it for 3 weeks. With him it was the horses coming in and out he just couldn't...

Hi I would rewrite your advert- she sounds lovely and will be very easy to share. I would take out the 4 year old riding bit, it means nothing. Add some more positives. Such as lovely manners, snaffle mouth, not strong to hack etc. I have had the best success with preloved and so had my friend...

Vaguely remember you taking a tumble and him getting stuck out hunting? could he have pulled something then? apologies if i am mistaken. Good luck x

yes I have had 2 friends have this- both welsh section D and sec C. The section D was left till a 2 1.2 year old and she took him to potters bar as it was far cheaper. Horse recovered well and his a 6 year old now 16.2! Other frind in Scotland just couldn't afford the surgery and the pony was...

Actually in his case it was diet related. Long periods of no turnout and very little forage (RSPCA involved) . I also had an ISH who developed them after travelling 9 hours without forage. I think all the latest research now indicate that horses need to be trickle fed and can develop ulcers in...

I beg to differ here. I agree with horses not being fat and risking joints etc. However, ulcers are certainly not always easy to treat. Our little connie semi retired was treated BUT like lots of horses has developed scar tissue as a result of grade 2 and 3 ulcers. Unfortunately this makes him...

it could just be what my horse had a blocked pore. if you can buy the naf shampoo its for lumps and bumps, I used it neat after exercise and the lumps cleared in 2 weeks and never have come back!!

Thanks trotted up sound on soft and hard tonight so fingers crossed it is that x

my pony went on a hack and she went very lame. On getting home a lot of heat in the front of foot. Vet came took of shoe but nothing to be found. I have been poulticing but nothing!! The vet wasn't convinced it was an abscess, Its strange as sound on hard ground but very sore on the soft...

i would turn her out 24.7- much better for you and her!
