Luckily shes not, I just am stuck as to how to heal these burns!

Pony has managed to get severe buttercup burn over the course of a fee weeks, despite constant coverage and cooling ointments of the area, it is still scabby and sore, some parts bloody skin exposed , covering his cheeks and part of his neck. I’m at a loss at what to do. Can someone help with...

After 3 long months of box rest my horse is finally turned out for field rest. We have him in a small paddock literally the same size as a stable which we will move round every day - so small he cannot pick up a trot in there for now. Was wondering whether this is unnecessary or whether anyone...

Thats a really good idea about reducing stable - might have a think about doing that! Great to hear that you have had success stories. Hoping there is no displacement, but we will have ultrasound to tell us the results.

I’m looking for a supplement to help a horses bones and joints stay strong and healthy, and to support repair, while he is on rest. Im also looking for a supplement which provides him with the vits/mins he needs while on rest and unable to go outside. Ideally neither toooo expensive please...

Ive also heard of a stable mirror being used in a trailer (on the wall) to help settle an anxious horse. It helps them think there is a companion.

Its good to hear some recovery stories as well, thank you! We seem to be in a similar situation to your neighbours mare , Tiddlypom. I havent heard anything though - that sounds scary! Will be mindful of laminitis hearing that , makes sense but hasnt crossed my mind! We also have haynets and...

Thank you, that is interesting. We had an internal examination already and they felt nothing out of the ordinary so no bones displaced by the sound of things. Most likely to be a hairline fracture - theyve told us 12 weeks box rest, as a guide for now. He is crossed tied as well. Fingers crossed...

Hi, Wanting to hear more stories around equine pelvis fractures - diagnosis of one on my horse, needs to be scanned to confirm though. Would like to know what your healing time, treatments and overall experiences were. H

Right now it is just a quarantine box so just standard wood 12x12 however im not sure whether he has lay down in this. I think I will go for the outside stable as im sure that he will be able to here and smellthe other horses, and tbh double the space in the winter if they are in for a wet week...

There are lights and it can be a bit dusty if im honest.. my horse can have a bit of a cough from time to time so i do soak his hay. is 12x2 too small for a 17.1?

Have been given the choice of a 12x12 indoor stable, american barn style, open one end full of horses. Ventilation is ok however have nothing to compare this to. The other choice is a LARGE outdoor stable, in a set of 5 however the other ones are pony stables and the ponies cannot see out of...
