Thanks everyone! I think I'll try and get in contact with Jake then ����

Kathryn is my old dentist. I agree - she's great! But it's a bit too far for her to travel. Thanks for t reply ����

Have moved yards and it's too far for my dentist to travel. She's recommended either Craig Griffiths, Jake Patterson or Chris Lee. Have Googled reviews but none the wiser. Anyone had any experiences/recommend any of these three?? Horse is based near Manchester airport if that's a...

Thanks for everyone's great advice ���� I ended up slapping a load of cheap Vaseline on (£1 a tub from the cheap shop) and that seems to be working great as flies can't get at her skin. Will definitely check out some of the other suggestions too. Thank you!

She's barefoot and I'm bringing her back into work (walking out and lunging/free schooling). Farrier mentioned feet a bit bruised. She's had the winter off and have used it before.

I know one of the ingredients in this is formaldehyde. Should I Be using this when pregnant? I always wear gloves. Anyone any ideas? TIA

Every year my mare gets eaten alive by flies on her undercarriage. A normal fly rug would not help this as the area would still be exposed. I use PowerPhazer gel which works to an extent but still not fully. The flies bites and draw blood. They tend to be small black ones that attach on there. I...

Keratex hoof hardener made a noticeable difference to my mare's feet. First week, you paint it on the sole (but not the frog) every day and then twice weekly going forward. A £27 bottle lasts me about 5 months. Make sure you buy some disposable latex gloves though to apply as it contains...

Following this thread as mine is in dire need of a wash!

This is my section C's pedigree: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/glanvyrnwy+ffion Would anyone be able to tell me about it? She's a real old fashioned type and such a great, all-round mare. She's definitely Welsh...

I'm 5'3", weigh 10.5 st and have a 14hh section c (I know officially Should upgrade her to a D) who weights 450kg. She's a real old fashioned type and is as wide as she is tall. Opinions on me riding her? I'm a bit of a worrier!

Excellent!

In the very early stages of considering a move to Denmark and wondered if anyone on here had experience of this? Are there livery yards? What are the differences between keeping horses here and over there? Any insight would be greatly appreciated 😊

Everyone's raising some great points here and am eager to hear more please . . . has really got me thinking

She keeps weight on very well and I would describe her a a very good-doer. She doesn't suffer from mud rash, only mite scabs on the back of her knees (malanders). I would probably clip but not full like she is now. There are two basic stables where I'm considering if she was ill. HashRouge...
