24 hours in stable, 7 days turnout then ride away as usual when I had hocks and stifles done (they were done separately, but same post injection protocols).

He had 4ml last time, at £1200 (inc vat), £220 in injection fees plus xrays etc. Am waiting the vet to call me to discuss.

It was £2k 2 years ago, which did include xrays. He is also a big horse and one side he did have to have a lot injected in. I'm hoping there is a way to make it a smidge cheaper if it's not through insurance!

I managed to get the second injections on the insurance, he wasn't showing any signs but he had to have his stifles done (very minor arthritis but wanted to get them medicated in the insurance period!) so the hocks were topped up. Having a look back through my previous invoices, I think it will...

Thanks everyone, I was hoping it wouldn't be an annual event but it looks like it might be. Luckily the first 2 were covered by insurance, unfortunately arthritis is now not covered. He is worked, but not overly hard, we don't jump but do hack and school.

My boy was diagnosed with hock arthritis back in 2024, he had arthrimid in May 2024 and then a top up in Spring last year. It has been great, noticeable improvement, but he has now started to slow up going down hill again (this was the first indicator something was wrong before he was...

I have a great boy on loan, I went to view him as a purchase. I explained to the owner that I had had a LWVTB which hadn't worked out hence I was looking again. The owner asked me if I would be interested in doing another LWVTB as she wanted to make sure it was the right fit (home breed). I...

Somerset/Wiltshire - £90 for a full set and he really takes his time and shoes according to X-rays. If he knows the vet is coming he will spend a lot longer!

Arthritis is in hocks. I've got a team of people on standby to help, but vet has said to wait until he is back to start anything, so I am in the limbo land of wanting to research, book, do but cant!

After some investigations we have discovered my boy has kissing spine - vet has said it is not awful and it is not part of his spine which is under the saddle, but there are some signs of discomfort. There is also arthritis being treated alongside. Due to him being EMS he cannot have steroid...

Swanton closed as a livery a little while ago.

My horse is on livery so thankfully I have the yard owner and the liveries to help out in an emergency. For other people I am the emergency cover! I used to do a lot of freelancing and I still get phone calls and msgs in an emergency. I am also happy to do it. I was lucky that all my clients...

I have the Henry James calfskin leathers in 60 - but I am 5ft9 with long legs!

I have an Equidry in the lite version (which is a thin fleece rather than a thick fleece), I feel the cold but haven't been cold in this, though I do wear layers underneath if it is really cold. I also have an Equicoat/Reincoat in the Mac version which I have been using this summer. I haven't...

Chloe's cobs in Bath looks to have some nice cobs.
