Thanks everyone for your advice. have left my big softie for a few weeks to let him get used to no shoes. Did have to feel so sorry for him at first, he wouldnt walk and kept lfting his feet up and holding them in the air. He is a bit of a softy though I must admitt! Big confession< I went out...

After not being able to get rid of persistant thrush my farrier has advised me to take my horses back shoes off. This was to eneable the frog to work more effectivly. To cut a long story short, would appreciate any advice on horse boots as I would like to contine to ride him. He is still a...

Dont worry, my retriever has just had the same thing, its very common and nine times out of ten its benign, cant remember the name of it but it is harmless. He had them removed and was back to normal next day. Try not to worry, easy for me to say, ha ha, stayed with him till he went to sleep in...

Oh goodness arent livery yards frustrating? Thankfully my two are kept seperate and just have each other for company. I think a lot of problems occur when there are new horses in the pack. A settled hurd will just have the 'hand bags at dawn' sometimes but its usually easily settled. Our livery...

Hia I had similar problems with my hw cob. I rang the bit bank lady and she was very helpful, I ended up with myler bit. She spoke to me personally and listend to my problems. You have to pay for the bit up front but if you are not happy with it you can send it back for a refund. You can get...

I bought special wash bag off ebay, think was about 6 quid. Its great for all horsey stuff as it keeps your washer hair free! If you are in a rush what about an old pillowcase?

And me! Spent all day watching the bloomin lot of em swimmin an galloping other week. Gets really busy at weekends, if you could go during week.Have fun! xx

We just been there for little holiday, was sooo envious of the loads of horses riding on the beach, it looked lurrrvely! Wathched two nice big strapping cobs go right out for a swim! If you know the name of the place for horsey b & b please let me know. Thankyou xx

Oh gosh, how awful you must feel. This is a very hard decision for you I can tell. I have never loaned any of my horses but I know people who have. I am sorry to say this but they have been fraught with problems. People usually turn into demons! What about asking if someone would be willing to...

Hia I have this problem with my hw cob. I have just had to accept that he is a headshaker and allergic to whatever. This morning on a very slow ride his breathing suddenly changed when we were in a field of rape seed, blows a lot too. Have had all the tests done for my problem, which were...

The three horses that I owned after Olly were all in contact apart from one. Ruby my sweet little mare was PTS last year after two years of dealing with wobblers sydrome. Her ex mum didnt contact me very often, but was pleased to know how she was going on. Harley my big softie (that thinks hes a...

I am sorry i mis judged you, just as you did me. You came across as someone quite heartless and unforgiving. I realise now that you have had to adopt that atitude to do the things that you do. I totally admire you for that. I have spent all my adult life taking in stray animals and re homing...

Thank you so much. I was getting wary of looking any more, i am new to this forum, I never thought that people would feel that they had to comment in that way. They dont know how hurful it is, maybe they didnt mean any harm by it and I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion but, it did...

Hia the main ingredient in all the supplements is glucosamine, there are a lot of things in them that you probably dont need. Did you know that you can buy almost pure glucosamine now? Equine America sell it (they make Cortaflex) and its a fraction of the price! Cider viniger and cod liver oil...
