Yes I’ve fed this for easily the past 2 winters. Really impressed with it horses look fab on it and seems palatable as my fussy tb broodmare loves it!

Why are people who are so against racing even on this thread…. Clearly looking for an argument

Switched to straw this year, used to have big deep litter shavings beds but with the price hike of shavings I can’t justify the expense , I’d rather get the muck heap emptied a few more times as it will still work out cheaper!

perhaps you should look into stallions with better terms? Being as the season is getting on now some studs are offering some really good terms - depending how desperate you are to have a foal from your mare there are thousands of stallions around so it would be worth have a scout around IMO

Fantastic news and I’m sure the whole forum have their fingers crossed this works out for you all including myself! It’s about time you had some luck on your side ?

I know who owns this mare she is in Weymouth if you need any help OP do message me and I’ll do my best to put you in touch !! Fingers crossed for a positive result you so deserve it, you have done a sterling job caring for mare and foal in such a harrowing situation

Really feel for you L+C such a sad situation for the foal but at least she’s healthy. Have the vets given you a more ‘long term ‘ plan if things don’t improve? I understand they want to see if things improve but wouldn’t it be better for foal long term to have a better mother role? I have no...

Just out of interest what are you feeding your mares and how frequently? And any recommendations for mares that are dropping off? My maiden is on stud cubes and suregrow twice a day with as much as hay as she’ll eat over night and good grass in the day- first foal so I expect some dropping off...

well they didn’t say much but I think it was a combination of moving home from stud, a new routine and some more grass. The vet said they don’t eat much but going from stripped fields to grass I’m sure they do pick quite a bit during the daytime. All good now though been bright as a button all...

Looks much better today vet said to put back out as normal so I did and he’s been out and back in tonight all fine so hopefully that was it. Horses are just a rollercoaster ride!

How are the already born 2022 babies getting on? I have to say we’ve had a bit of a rollercoaster with baby 1 until now. Mum has a nasty tear that she needs to go to Newmarket to be sorted at the end of June. Bought them home Saturday so she can have a high grass diet - as vet said is important...

Absolutely feel for you OP as when I decided last summer to have my heart horse pts because she will forever struggling with the hard ground in the summer I felt cruel carrying on. My dad who is my rock in most things in life made me feel awful and really didn’t help me in the hardest decision I...

thanks TFF vet is referring to Newmarket as they do many more, mare has been on Karidox for a few weeks but there is contamination it’s been 2 1/2 weeks since foaling and vet isn’t happy with the progress. Bloody horses! Putting back in foal this year is out not than I’m too bothered just want...

Mare is ok it was done during foaling, it’s bad enough to need to be stitched and vet says won’t heal on its own unfortunately ☹️

Anyone have any experience with these on here? Looking for rough ideas of costing , hospital time etc TIA
