I've got two ponies that suffer from sweet itch in their tails, my old boy has always had it and my mare just come back from full loan with it. I've tried so many different things with varied results over the years but the best thing I've found that has worked is antibacterial green gel with...

just got my horse back from full loan and am very disappointed/sad how she came back! I Thought they'd taken great care of her? I don't know if it was just the last month notice I gave them that they left her in a field or what. As when I've been to see her though the loan she looked and was...

Bedding at the start of my boys condition (copd, he needs inhalers to keep on top of it) was a nightmare, so i feel for you. On the vets advice to me, i moved my boy onto rubber matting and with a thin bedding of bedmax, and it did take me months to get use to it. i hated it at first but now...
