It could be. Good thought.

He was checked 20 days ago and is due back at the vets in 10 days. I just don't get how a horse who cannot bear weight on his near hind can trot up sound?

My Thorough bred will not pick up his off hind. He has only done this since he was last shod where he was trimmed but would not let the farrier shoe him. He has been vetted and he is sound on soft and hard surfaces at walk, trot and canter. He also passed flexion tests on the 3 limbs he will...

Thanks for your comments they have been very informative.

We are currently bute testing her, day 1 yesterday. Our initial thoughts are eye pain, hormones and ulcers. After the Bute trial depending what it brings up we are going to feed her an additive for ulcers. According to the Vet she isn't feeling pain from the eye, according to our farrier her...

We have recently bought a 8 year old Warm blood mare and she has shown several behaviour problems which we think are hormone related. At first we thought she was in foal again as she had come from a stud and had the vet out. The results came back negative for pregnancy and testosterone but a...

We are not riding her now and do not intend to untill she has settled down and we will then start again as if we are backing her. Having been the flying guinea pig i can assure you the next person riding her will be a dummy! I just don't understqand 4 weeks of excellence followed by a...

Just to add. I think we need to look into the eye situation a bit more. To put it into context with the ridden work the last time i got on her she had me off immediately by that i mean before my weight had even been put in the saddle. She will however let me lean over her back with my weight in...

Our horse is a Warmblood. She has glaucoma in her left eye. It all just seems odd. She can be fine for a week then the next a leaf drops and she panics. Very strange. We are also a bit concerned that she hasn't been in season and her ovaries seem inactive after having a foal. She has...

We have recently bought a 8 year old brood mare who has had a foal a year ago and had been weaned in Autumn. For 8 weeks we did basic ground work and started ridden work. She was amazing. She has also been boxed to lessons which went well. Got on her as normal and after a few minutes she went...

Does it smooth the surface or can it actually move the surface and level?

Really you surprise me. Thank you for your input.

What is the best type of grader to use behind a 4x4 for levelling a menage?

No membrane would allow the sand to migrate into the hardcore base as the sand molecules are very small. For the price of a membrane approx £400 is it worth omitting?

Cassy, We are literally just finishing and have added our top surface. You are more than welcome to come and have a look PM me and i'll give you my contact details. I find there are very contradicting theories on this as i know several schools with silica sand and they have to water them...
