Thank you for the suggestions, it's quite frustrating. Only moved back to Scotland 8 wks ago and she's out of the wintec x wide. She's a friesian just give you an idea, working with a terrible cheap treeless that I only use for young ones to get use to saddles and dont normally sit on. So quite...

I found a plait in one of my mares last week, its wasnt due to heading shaking/ wind or anything of the like, it was 3 definate sections plaited together of a very thin stip of mane, not really noticable at a glance. This is a way of marking a horse, they also cut sections of tail to mark if...

I have a mare that had major surgery nearly 3 years ago due to an infection that went up into her pedal bone area, I wont go into the woes of it all but I have had a really bad time with it! She also had laminitis many years ago and had a large white line area never corrected by trimming. So...
