Farmkey were quite quick when I had my boy done last year, think it was within about 2 weeks.

Back in the horrendous winter a few years ago I decided that since it was very unlikely I would be doing much hacking I would take his shoes off for the winter. Took him out for a few hacks before he got his shoes back on and he was totally fine so I thought why bother paying for shoes if I dont...

NO! As the owner of a 7 year old with arthritis in his hocks I would never knowingly chose to buy a horse like that.

Met her a few years ago, she did my boys feet a few times and helped me learn a lot about doing them myself. Lovely person!

Just got my renewal through and I have 2 exclusions added: 1. excluding claims resulting from or connected to the back/spine, and associated soft tissue structures. 2. excluding claims resulting from or connected to spavins. Background - In the past year my horse was diagnosed with...

Thank you very much, as I thought but jut wanted to check :)

Hi, wondered if I could pick your brains? I have a rice continental trailer, unladen weight 900kg (thats what it says on the plate, I suspect its even lighter as it doesnt have the original heavy partition in), max 2700kg I have my B+E licence Will only ever tow one horse 700kg (he cant travel...

Best thing I did was sell the big crazy horse that terrified me and buy an amazing sensible cob :)

I have a Pete, its short for Peterswell Lad but he really suits Pete :)

I loved that comment from her :)

Loved my PE one but horse killed it eventually. Then bought a masta one and wish I hadnt, rubbish quality compared to the PE one and it slips really badly.

My cob had a sore back just behind the saddle (mostly left side) and was not quite tracking up with his left hind in trot on the right rein. I thought it was due to a fall he had in the trailer as it happened about the same time. I had him looked at by physio/ osteo etc and they said he had...

My 6 year old has also just been diagnosed with very slight changes in his hocks and had steroid injections last tuesday so I am also watching this with interest!

I agree with what others have said - no horse should be sore after a trim. If your farrier/ trimmer knows about this and carries on making your horse sore every trim I'd be looking for another farrier/trimmer pronto.

I'm going through the same at the moment and on advice of my saddle fitter i'm using a balance strap for the girth on one side and its working really well, just have to make sure to change back to normal girthing as soon as horse is level again :)
