I remember being at YHL when she was demo-ing, her lovely Mum was walking around the shopping area with Mary's Olympic medal letting everyone try it on, she was a lovely, lovely lady......the apple definitely didn't fall far from her tree! Mary's demo was just lovely, too, she is just one of the...

Good to hear some feedback, thanks. Their FB page is very slow so difficult to get any information there. Rarely is something worth doing for horses a quick fix! 😆

That would be my last ditch attempt. Ulcers are awful, my boy can be prone to them, I just feel I'm constantly on ulcer watch! Op, I looked into the Equibiome thing, it's certainly an interesting concept, I had forgotten about it but think I'll definitely revisit it

BUT once brought back into 'normal riding horse' routine (Still ensuring as much TO and all other factors are adhered to) did the ulcers stay away or return? I PTS a horse with recurring bi lateral lameness that we just couldn't resolve, he was a very aggressive horse too, I've often wondered if...

It's horses for courses isn't it, to me, £50 max, to someone else, priceless! I love the type a lot of riders actively avoid and wouldn't pay the livery for my 'type' let alone pay to own it! If you're happy and comfortable, that is all that matters

My Arab has them and went very ear and bridle shy, I tried to gently bridle him in a 'traditional' manner and it resulted in him getting VERY distressed. I now unbuckle the bridle to put on and take off (the pop stud browbands are great for this!) and we're very efficient at it, the relief on...

This was my Arab, I got him at 5, very thin (not neglect just not looked after) he took A LOT of feeding and gentle work but he didn't mature until about 9, he's now 11 and looks very 'sports horsey' well muscled and a great weight, but it's been a loonnng process, but I was never in a rush and...

Definitely last! I went early on my boy's first, my friend got lost getting to the venue, so we we right in the middle of everyone leaving, it was not fun, I only went for the photos in front of the castle anyway!!

I'm sooo sorry you're going through this, I can completely empathise having lost my beloved boy 1.5 weeks ago. I too opted for a home visit as I wanted him in familiar surroundings and to be as relaxed as possible. Sleep well little girl, go and see your Daddy xx

My horse was girthy , pulling a face when the girth was done on the right side, he had 1 small grade 1 ulcer! The vet nearly missed it it was so minor but not according to my horse! Treated him (half dose for a month) and he is no longer showing any girthy symptoms, you’re right to listen to the...

I said good night to my love for the last time, last Tuesday. I love him with all my heart and feel like a limb is missing :( I found a mobile vet so it was done at home. That morning we had the most blissful few hours curled up in bed together, he came up and put his head on my pillow, which he...

I don't know where you are but GB Horseboxes are based in the North East, a lot of my friends have them and they're very happy with them (from new and secondhand)

I used to have a tow car and trailer but wanted a 3.5T. I worked out I could run a 3.5t and a small car (Citroen C3 Picasso) for the same amount (Tax, insurance, diesel) as the cost of the tow car so that could be an option?

Nope, I totally agree. My dog, who i'm having PTS next week, is not noticeably lame but he has slowed significantly despite being on a cocktail of pain relief. When I've discussed my red lines in the past with his physio, she reasoned that lameness in dogs isn't as clear cut as with horses...

Thank you so much everyone, you have confirmed what I knew deep down. For me, as much as anything, his inability to even trot is a big red flag, as @I'm Dun said, for a dog bred to run, this doesn't sit well with me. Doing life without my little yellow lurcher by my side is going to be so hard...
