What are you changing from? Is your horse messy-as in walks in poops or just wet? or neat and tidy? I'm lucky that both my geldings are tidy, the older one can be a bit messy on the odd occasion and he has EMS so when he's out of sync, he is known to pee a bit more. I succesfully use a wood...

This. Mine who is on Danilon is now showing what I feel is signs of hind gut ulcers. His Danilon is helping with his arthritis but it's also causing upset with his gut which in turn is making him look and feel a bit miserable.

I bought an Amigo a few years ago which was a 5ft 9 and was like a mini skirt in comparison to my 6ft Amigo. I think it was the Amigo Bravo Pony.

The same in colour and partly in breed. First horse is part cob and lighter limbed with less hair. Second horse is full Gypsy Cob and masses of feather and mane. But similiar in that they are 'nice & easy to keep' boys but both different personalities. First one takes no prisoners and certainly...

My oldie is now on Danilon for his arthritis. He’s like a youngster again with it but he is getting a very messy back end while on it. My vet has suggested Protexin Gut Balancer which we have used before and I’m using at the moment but it’s not helping. Before I call asking if it’s worth getting...

How awful for her. What was the land used for before she had it?

Love Ideal. I’m now back to a very old Ideal after selling my lovely Ideal after horse changed shape and I decided to buy him a brand new all singing and dancing Kent and Masters. Bad decision. I persevered for over a year with it, I think I even posted on here about it. I found it very...

I have these they are fantastic for the price, nice and warm but not too bulky to work with. Also good for riding too. https://harryhall.com/harry-hall-thermal-glove-navy-blue/

Is anyone else fed up with the weather? It's too icy for us to get out, some can get out but I'm worried about the hard ground for my EMS guy. We have been snowed on the last few days and it's now turned to ice. He has been out in it briefly at the start of the week but I'm convinced he's not...

I had a weekend away at a BHS Camp and asked if I could soak hay if I supplied my own tubtrug and disposed of the water responsibly as my horse was EMS laminitic so didn't want to risk their hay/haylage. They were absolutely fine with it, I used the space by my trailer for soaking in the bucket...

1 week on and they are definitely improving. I used the Snowfire religiously at the start of the week and used 2 pairs of socks to go to the yard. Any other time I go out I've worn my UGGs so that there's no reason for them to get cold. I've also started back again on my Vitamin D. I think the...

As said above, the more main stream brands- Horsehage High Fibre, Horsehage Timothy, Country Haylage High Fibre Meadow Mix, Silvermoor Lite, Silvermoor Timothy. Depending on where in the country you are there could be some other brands, you need them to be under 10% sugar & starch combined. We...

Thanks everyone. I think stupidly my problem stems from putting on cold boots at the yard. I keep my country boots at the yard so that they’re not in my car or house. It’s like putting my feet in to ice blocks! The feet warmers sound like the way forward, I have the hand warmers but hadn’t heard...

Ahh I’m allergic to Deep Heat 🫣 can’t use that at all. I’ve got the Snowfire, tried that overnight and it was pretty good, no itchiness through the night. Heat holder socks are good but as you say just so thick so I can only wear them in the house otherwise I can’t get my boots on without crushing.

Interesting! I have Snowfire which I use for hax- you know the horrible deep cuts you can get on your fingers. I’m sure it’s snowfire…
