Thank you all for your views, puts the situation in perspective. Checked him today and he seems fine, obviously will keep a careful eye on him. Thanks again, roll on summer!

My horse has always been on a walker with no issues at all, this has been a help in the past when turnout has been limited. He’s on full livery at a very respected yard, yesterday I was informed there had been an “incident” on the walker. Someone had turned on the power to the pushers...

I discussed these points with staff when I took him, but just left the note in case other staff weren't told. A friendly note introducing my horse and his few basic needs. It's early days, and I'm sure it'll be sorted, just feeling a bit uneasy.

Moved my horse to a new yard a few days ago on full livery. I left a note of things I'd like done for him, not much really, basically always have boots on for exercise, fly mask for hot sunny days, and boots on in the field for the first few days. Called in to see him today, he'd been exercised...

I need to arrange a 5 stage vetting in Bath, can anyone suggest a really experienced Vet who could do this. I live quite a distance away so any help would be gratefully received.
