I’ve thankfully never had an issue with teeth wearing and muzzles. Mine wears the Thinline muzzle and has done for the last 7 years since the first came out. It’s the only way he can get any form of grass turnout without tipping over the edge. The last few years of Thinline have been very...

Initially thought lymphangitis as probably unlikely to have cellulitis in all 4 unless an all over response but I’ve never heard of that before. Mine took an all over swelling but mainly in face. We still don’t know what caused it but I found 2 puncture holes in his leg a few days later, we...

I think your only option is to find a few solid horses and box him in front and back a few times until he chills out. Could you ask on some local horsey pages and maybe box up to meet?

A few of you may remember my other posts regarding splints and arthritis treatment-cartrophen etc. My 23 year old has now flung an extra small spanner for good measure! I'm looking for potential ideas to ask vet about. For background, I've owned him for 20 years, and he has never had a day lame...

How is she today?

Thank you, I felt the other leg and there was nothing there in the same place. I also felt my youngster’s leg incase I was going nuts(!) but he didn’t have anything there either. I think it must be a small splint. How long he’s had it is anyone’s guess. We had a very wet day last week so he...

My older gelding has been a generally easy keeper all his life. While others on the yard have came up with splints, I’ve never dealt with them first hand. He is quite stiff in the mornings(see cartrophen post, about to be treated next week) but this morning I thought he looked worse and I’m...

I actually really disliked my Equidry, I found it very unflattering and just cumbersome in comparison to my Uhip and Harry Hall coat so very rarely used it. However, now that I’m back turning out and bringing in, it very rarely leaves my back! Ideal for using as an overcoat to not get wet or too...

They are fantastic. I have the Nordic coat and it's warm in frozen weather yet breathable. It's only shower proof though so would choose another model if you're needing waterproof too. I also have this too, it's a really good coat for riding. In comparison to my UHIP, it's warm but not that...

Expensive but UHIP coats are excellent.

Don't think we have his shops up here, I've never heard of them anyway. What a complete ahole, I hope is company goes under. No animal lover that.

I didn't know anything about it. I have a nice Kingsland hoodie which I got in a sale last year, £24 down from £85 or something. I'll need to do some research.

I don't like the Lumilight one 🫠 It's bright if you put it on in the house/building, but I don't think that bright for in the field at night. I don't like the side light either or the band, and I didn't find the buttons easy to press/differentiate when leading horses in. For me the best one is...

My vets is about 20minute drive away, that said if OOH, the vets would presumably be at their own residence. I'd hope within half an hour at the most? However, they have amalgamated with 2 other practices which are further away so I suppose there's no guarantee that it's a vet from my practice...

Day 6 and I’m not noticing much difference however it is very damp today. I thought he looked ok on day 4 as he was jogging in from the field and didn’t look so slow down the hill. That may be a placebo effect though…
