Better out than in then :-) Many thanks

Hi all Just wormed Molly (Equest Max) and found this in her doings. http://www3.mistral.co.uk/jon-norris/images/bot.jpg It looks like a bot fly larvae but I've not seen one at this early a stage so not 100pc sure. What do you reckon? Regards

Thanks for that folks. I've decided as thatsmygirl suggests, to go with Panacur 5 day for the redworms as I can't be 100% that they have been properly wormed for redworm. Its just too high a risk. I'll then use Equimax for Bots/Tapeworm. Next time round Pramox though. Regards

Hi all We need to be worming now for Encysted Red Worm, Bots and Tapeworm. I've had discussions with 2 vets and an independent supplier of wormers and have had several different opinions so now totally confused as to the best treatment. I was going to use Equest Pramox but today a vet...

Hi all I'm a big fan of Bliss (and to a lesser degree Easibed), I've always found it easy to manage and relatively cheap. I've always had issues with my horses eating a straw bed so have stopped using straw now. HOWEVER, one of the grooms at my yard nearly lost his horse after a colic...

@Kitsune - Yes that's me. Equus died late 2008 sadly. We're moving to that area to semi retire and run a B&B plus smallholding plus small livery yard. I'm being deliberately vague as we're in the process of buying a place and I don't want to jump any guns. Okehampton +/- 10 miles is near...

I'm looking for any horsey related info for the area. Farriers, vets, dentists, riding clubs/schools, bridleways etc, anything horse related. Not liveries though, we'll be doing that hopefully. Anyone?

Hi all Well, subject to nothing falling through I will be moving to Devon and we're planning to open a livery yard and B&B. Facilities as below. Up to 3 liveries. Secure yard (owner on site 24/7), floodlight (20mx40m) indoor school, parking for cars, trucks etc. 6 acres of turnout for 3...
