Interesting. It is in line with the pedal bone :( He hasn't shown any signs of laminitis. All his x rays since have shown that he has very good sole depth. That is the right fore which was the worst affected, did have 13 degree rotation but fixed back to 0/1 degree.
Maybe worth getting some...
The orange!
I tend to go for pastel colours or darker bolds like plum, blackcurrent. Orange was a spur of the moment second hand buy off of ebay as I thought it would look good in the Autumn with the orange leaves. I do have a good photo but it’s never been used since, it clashes with my black...
Thanks, we done hind feet a few years ago and he was great, hardly any difference. I don't think I'll go back to shoes, he's 22 this year so quietening down a bit ridden-wise, the shoes also seemed to be jamming up his heels a bit. I just feel awful at the moment as he is ouching over the...
Thanks, I will clean up and get some photos tonight, the other ones are pretty dirty. I think you may be right, I've looked in to laid over bars and it seems he does have them. Looking at other photos previous to a trim, it looks like the farrier is trimming them correctly. He is due a trim this...
I’m not baling, I’m not baling *repeats*
Week 14 of shod to barefoot. I don’t know if the toes are becoming too long and the heels are running forward.
He’s fine on grass, fine on smooth tarmac(maybe not as fast as on grass though) but we’ve recently had part of the route to the field...
Not pleasant but can you explain to them on the phone the situation and why you're not happy, basically as you have said here? They should really waver the call out as it was in their interests to pts the following day.
Sorry for you loss x
Basic bridle with leather lead. Snaffle bit- rubber or plain metal. No fancy browbands. Plain and simple.
Traditionally the leader wears the opposite colour of trousers to the horse’s legs- ie, dark legged horse you would wear lighter trousers. Comfortable/robust shoes for running. Shirt, tie...
Shampoo brush thing actually very good for cooling down humid horse! Both mine were finding it quite warm yesterday in their stables. I filled the container part with cold water and just squeezed and brushed down shoulders, chest and between legs. A bit less messier than a bucket and sponge.
This is interesting, I hadn't heard of this before. Is the UV Sensitivity quite a common thing? I have 2 coloureds, both pink skinned but one more so than the other. He's came up with a very crispy/poorly nose before and we weren't sure what caused it.
