Hi, Some advice would be gratefully appreciated. I have recently become a new mom, I also have two horses, one of which is 18 years old and the other is 4 years old and has only been backed approx 4 months. My 18 year old is an absolute star and a true gentleman so the option of selling him...

Hi, Does anyone know anything about stifle injuries? My 3 yr old warmblood came in a couple of weeks ago with a swollen stifle and was hopping lame. I called the vet and he said it could be one of a number of things, injury or OCD (growth problem as hes only 3). He said to keep...

Has anyone any thoughts / advice on boots for turnout in mud! my 3yr old has got a corn and the vets have said to get a boot to protect his feet from the mud, but i dont know which ones! they all seem so expensive and do they actually work. we have quite a lot of mud this year and fear it...

Hi, for anyone who has had issues with juvenille warts which I think is what the white spots on my 3 year old turned out to be - I would recommend IMMUNALL. The spots on my 3 year olds face got REALLY bad - as in they covered his whole face and went up his ears and slightly down his neck...

Thankyou ! I do feel really guilty as I have been competing him and making him work (although he has been fine) but dont the worms make him feel ill? and ive been asking him to jump and do ODEs and all sorts ! I have wormed him - last night as soon as I found out. I think the count...

Hi, I have just had our herd (of 5) worm counted. The results are as follows: Horse 1: <50 epg (no eggs seen) Horse 2: <50 epg (no eggs seen) Horse 3: <100 epg (low count) Horse 4: <100 epg (low count) Horse 5: 3700 epg (High count) Horse 5 is my horse ! We worm count regulary...

Would be top if you could camp at Burghley - I have been on the website though and cant see an option to. The caravan section also says no horseboxes or tents?

I have never been. The first year I decide to go and its cancelled. Am beyond gutted, car was packed and everything. Agree right decision though. Have looked at Burghley and it just doesnt look as good - cant camp on site for a start. :(((

Thanks - this looks great - hopefully will be better weather in Germany !! cant get much worse !!

After the very disappointing news that badminton is cancelled does anyone know of a similar event abroad?

I wouldn't personally, We worm once a year for tape worm. But worm count 2-3 times a year for encysted red worm. Worm counting is the way forward - cheaper and you dont have to put chemicals into your horse unnecessarily. Long term this method will reduce the likelihood of resistant...

thought as much - boooo :mad:

Hi, I have just been caught going through a red light in a Horsebox. The problem is - the lights change so quickly if i had stopped the horses could have been injured or I would have stopped half way through the junction, which surely is more dangerous. I was only going 25 mph (its...

shellkim: let me know how you get on - am interested in anything that helps get rid of these little bliters ! although they dont seem to be bothering him they are very unsightly and was hoping to show him this year ! agree- very frustrating.

thanks guys. appreciate the advise.
