Before you decide anything it may be worth getting in touch with the osteopathic vet, he was our last try and it has worked really well. Find him on Facebook

I very much favour the get on and get on with it school of getting used to new horses. I have always hacked out as soon as possible by my self but obviously with phone etc and with others knowing where. I want to do it without the benefit of others advice, to date with 7 previous and my...

We did, back check, physio, new saddle and then Regumate with great success so far this season. Keeping marble / ovarian treatment until later

As an uninsured owner this would have cost me £45 call out plus charge for treatment and drugs so seems very reasonable to me.

With my last purchase, Drove 4 hrs to try on the Thursday, left a cash £100 deposit with receipt, then collected Sat 4hrs there and 6 hrs back with horse and trailer! Husband BAC'd payment on the Sat
