Mine does get done daily but I my because his feet can get thrushy if left. I didn't even consider it when my old boy was away on retirement livery, he was out in a field so unlike to get anything in it, and I wouldn't expect them to look at his feet unless he was looking off/lame.

Thanks MM, I'll look at Protexin. Meleeka, I think he is, he has his haycube stuffed full, and he usually has a little left over. He doesn't kick it round as it's in the cube. Holeymoley, yes yes out on grass during the day (in the winter) and in at night.

Interesting. His poos are usually fairly soft so maybe a pre/probiotic is needed. Any recommendations?

Is there anything I can do to stop it? Even before he was on linseed, he didn't really have solid lumps, so I don't think it's just the linseed but it's definitely got worse since being on it.

Sorry OP but I agree with this. There are worse things that can happen to a horse than to go quietly and peacefully with their head in a bucket of feed.

In the stable? Overnight?

Ok not MY poo 😱🤣 But my horse's poo disintegrates, which makes it hard to pick up and my bed always looks horrible, brown and dirty. I feed him on chaff and micronized linseed. Yesterday I mucked out my friends horse and it was so easy, her poo remains in nice lumps which makes it quick to muck...

Me too, so sad .

Hello lovely AADers, it's been a while. Beginning to feel it's time for us to start researching getting another Westie, it's what Mr JB wants really, although Juno loves being an only child. I thought I might out some feelers out there so if anyone knows of any good Westie breeders in the south...

He's so cute!

Welcome Hobson! He looks quite big.

Catembi, I'm so sorry, how heartbreaking for you.

Brighteyes did give you great advice and you're being over sensitive if you think she was "ticking you off". You've said your horse does 35 miles a month, that's only just over a mile a day, you really need to up the work if you want to keep on top of his weight. Bring him in during the day...

Water has stayed on overnight so maybe it was just kids playing silly buggers.

Thanks, he's really fab. I hate it when people get loads of advice and support and don't update later, especially when they've found a solution 🙂
