Another for NAF 5* Superflex! My 29 yo artheritic mare has been on it for about a year now & there was a noticable difference after the 1st month.

My mare got mudrash AGAIN! Soo I took the usual route of hibi scrub, but only for a few days as someone mentioned you wil wash out natural oils this way. Used sudocreme but found tis horribly messy and just ended up with her hair being clogged up with the stuff. Baby oil is the best thing I've...

There are a few liveries in Burnley...I'm at Cornfield Farm on Cornfield Grove in Burnley, Trotters just outside Padiham, and for the more well off among us Crowwood in Burnley...only do full livery tho but amazing facilities

What a beautiful boy yo have! My 28 yo is on NAF 5* Superflex for her joints, clicky and arthritic it worked wonders for her

Bearing in mind that the mud fever bacteria thrives in conditions that are damp and warm. I personally wouldn't bandage. The legs need as much air to them as possible. Stopped washing/hosing altogether during the winter as this seemed to make it worse. Just brush off mud when it dries and...

Well I'm going to trend set and say I'm using the 5* super flex. Its worked wonders on my 28 yo mare who showed signs of stiffness and suffered from arthritic joints...is now up and down the field giving her 2yo companion a run for her money

These are the kind of people who must be reported. The annoying thing is if the RSPCA deem them unfit the worst they get is a feeble fine, slap on the wrist and banned from keeping animals for a year or so. Would they leave a child in that condition?

Honey was always funny about other people riding her. She had a few nasty jockeys before I bought her, and it took me months to regain her trust. There is def an 'art' to riding the mad ginger one, and it was always think it, then ask it wit your voice (by which time she had usually done what...

IMO Flatwork is the key to jumping at any level. To achieve a responsive, balanced horse capable of carrying out the difficult turns etc you have to base your ridden work on mainly flatwork. I have friends who compete at a high level nationally, who rarely jump their horses at home. The flatwork...

NAF do a 5* superflex that I have recently put my 28yo arthritic mare on...and I can honestly say shes loads better! A friend of mine spotted her fly bucking across the field chasing a 3yo filly, thats something she hasn't done for years. Its about £45 for 120 days supply

I'd second PF's suggestion. We had a mare brought in on Monday lame after a ride. As her shoes were a little loose, and there was a possiblity of her getting gravel, her owner tubbed her. Shes sound today!

Is she lame when tacked up and mounted? Or just with saddle on its own, if she goes lame when mounted its almost def a saddle is imo, try lunging her saddled up.

Honey was prob one of the only horses on the yard people NEVER offered t'o swop onto! And yet I'm not comfortable on other peoples animals, for all of the reasons mentioned here! Honey and I have an 'understanding' With other horses the familiarity isn't there and you can't be quite sure what...

Nooo don't tell me that!!!!!! I have a house to clean and swore I'd sort out my store space at the stables!!!

My mare has been deep littered on a straw bed for 15 years with no ill effects, and shes 28 now and thriving. I do it not for economy but because shes very restless in her box. The results is a soggy horrible mess ground into a pulp and bare floors for her to lie on or possibly slip on. Provided...
