Thank you all - have been applying sudocrem (no turmeric) to keep it from becoming infected with the flies etc, as well as extra fly spray - nothing major yet but keeping my fingers crossed for healthy skin in the coming months!

Good afternoon :) My boy has a sarcoid by his sheath, its nothing massive and ugly just like a little bumpy spot, no bigger than a 10p. Vet has seen it and doesn't think there is an issue, no tack rubbing etc. My question is - I haven't had him long, the last thing I want to be doing...

with 37 million ill take 3 of those plus a horse friendly private jet

I am heavily relying on winning that 37 million tonight. otherwise I will have to continue to work for my money which just doesnt seem to be very palatable.

I am extremely good at crying over 3k saddles whilst my horse didnt even cost a 3rd of that and trying to justify it for something that isnt in work. I'm also good at personalised show fleeces. Again, the horse is not in work, does not show, and I do not even have transport to take him to shows...

Oh well even if he is a lazy buggar hes still my pride and joy, he will just be a slow pride and joy!

Whizzer - hes a very happy chappy around the yard, doesnt matter whether he stays in or out hes just so happy just being - but maybe he is sour. in which case i will monitor this and see if some non working 'games' might be something for us both to do with eachother in the meantime. So sorry to...

TPO he has been looked over briefly by a touch therapist that was recently at our yard, he is lunged in nothing but a head collar at the moment. He hasn't had an awful lot of time off, and is still very muscular - but that may be a possibility, although I like to keep sessions as short as...

Charlie007 I LOVE his laid back temperament, hes a really genuine boy and is incredibly affectionate, its just baffling me that for a horse that is still very much race fit, hes so unbelievably slow! I dont mind at all, and I dont want to send him fizzy with competition mixes and what not when...

He thinks hes fully retired haha! No he is a lovely lovely lad I would just like a little more oomph when working him

It just seems incredibly odd, and I was posting hoping for some insight as to why and how to boost him. thank you

Vet has been out to him twice and has no concerns - he isnt lacking in terms of how alert he is, he just isn't very energetic

Good morning :) I have recently (28/01/2016) acquired an ex racehorse, he last raced on 17/01/16 - so very recently. He had some time off due to footsoreness after his shoes came off and is now back being lunged. I've had endless comments about what fantastic condition he is in and how shiny...

I pay £148 pcm DIY livery (unlimited hay and straw), £40 farrier (just fronts) every 6/8 weeks (often more as his hooves are a mess and he usually throws one). £56 insurance pcm. £30 Feed + £30 supplements = £60. Fuel to and from £50pcm minimum. Tack upkeep/replacement of grooming items/fly...

That sounds really cheap! The lowest I've seen is £110 per week. I'm not sure if to send him for a good 4 weeks or just for a week after I've started the work so they can finish off the bits I'm not experienced enough to perfect.
