Lol did you get the Japanese edition?

Easy to make your own - tub of emulsifying ointment, 20 drops lavender oil, 20 drops teatree oil, melt in microwave till just liquid, stir till starting to solidify, keep at room temperature and slap on liberally, every day for 3 days or till scabs rub off, then every 2nd or 3rd day. never...

I ordered a pair of Kilpurnie boots about 4 months ago, got them last week. Very good price, but bit of a wait.

Try looking over your left shoulder as you ask for right canter, sometimes works.

Ah, that's ok then. Def tidy up the frogs to help get rid of infection, have you tried Red Horse hoof spray, can't think of name but great for infection. A wee bt off the bars just to Level them, and lose the flare, it looks like it's causing some WLD? What's happened to the one that has the...

Have you thought of having a qualified trimmer? I wouldn't be happy with those feet if it was my horse.

That pretty much speaks for itself, doesn't it? I haven't watched the wonderful test - I don't believe the end justifies the means, and how anyone can say that the horse is "happier" being ridden like this - happier than what?
