My horse is a 24 year old warmblood who injured his check ligament on Christmas day! After scanning he was found to have around 1/6 Of it remaining. He went through daily laser treatment for 3 weeks and due to not coping on box rest he was then turned out 24/7. He went through a good patch for a...

I've tried agrobs but he wouldn't eat it! Thanks though

Thanks very much for your advice. I will get on to some research into the feeding minefield!

Oh I thought top spec lite was pelleted? Like the comprehensive one? Will steer clear of that then! They claim to be the lowest in calories so that's what caught my eye. Thanks so much for the help. I'd be inclined to call some feed companies but they will just try to sell me anything -...

Thanks for all your advice. I don't currently feed any hard feed so would only want to feed something minimal. The other problem is that if he tastes a supplement he won't eat the chaff so end up feeding more to a horse in next to no work! Will keep looking into it though thanks. Any opinions on...

Yes I was thinking a lick. Any recommendations? Don't want one full of sugar!

Hi I have a 22year old warmblood who is in light hacking work living out 24/7 on sparse dry hay like grazing. He's a good doer and could do with losing a bit of weight although can drop off in the winter if not careful. He shares his field with a 20 year old arthritic Shetland (not lami prone)...

Hi I've got a 25 year old Shetland who's recently torn her cruciate ligament again. She did the same thing winter before last and managed to come out of it with no treatment other than bute for pain relief. She's had a miserable past few months with cushings /laminitis flair ups and has finally...

Hi I'm looking for somewhere different to hack! Based near Canterbury but have a 3.5 tonne lorry so can try new places. Also need details of where to park etc. Many thanks

Hi has anyone had any experience of using hunter horseboxes in Cheshire or Owens in Cambridgeshire? Looking to buy and would like to hear any comments good or bad. Many thanks

Thank you I'll look into that. I'd upgrade it but only looking to drive it on a car licence.

Hi I'm looking at getting a 3.5 tonne lorry and was wondering if anyone has any advice on manufacturers to recommend or avoid? Looking for a relatively high payload and comfortable for longer journeys for horses and driver. Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm really interested in starting scurry driving and I was wondering where to start? I have driven in the past but don't currently have a pony suitable so would be starting completely from scratch. Any advice on where to start would be much appreciated x

Hi all, I would love to try dressage with my warmblood although he is very strong and forward! Im not expecting great things and will be happy if we make it around a prelim without jogging! Id also like to do one of the local ODEs, again all very small and low scale. I was just wondering what...

Thank you for all your advice. I will call the vet to be on the safe side. I don't want it getting worse. Its not continuous but just as I think I haven't heard it in a while it tends to come back.
