This seems to be the sad case of many YO owners... My previous yard was an older woman with 37 acres of lush grazing with a handful of horses there. At the time I thought it prefect location wise and grazing for my gelding. Over time though it became more and more evident that she just wasn't...

Just a little update on my lad.. Vet came out for a 6 month check on him and couldn't believe the difference in him, his muscle around his neck and hindquarters has improved massively. There's no lameness or toe drag and although moody still at times is loving his little hacks out. He's now on...

Hi I was using feedmark MSM along with cortaflex, I then read up on equimins superflex and it contained everything including MSM which worked out a lot cheaper. I have noticed some really good improvements whilst he is on this. I also use turmeric and mirconised linseed! :)

RIP Trigger! x

I think you might be right it just worries me incase anything else happens and I don't have enough to afford it! This last year has made it quite evident just how expensive vets and treatment and supplements are!

NFU :L

Hi he is 13! no I can't understand it either its so frustrating, I know one things for sure I'm not paying that for a horse partly covered! I can understand the arthritis I just alway understood it as if I claimed for the hock on one side the other would be covered but I'm reading it that it...

Ok so I'm trying to sell my N reg Iveco horsebox stalled for 4! So I know its only been up for a month but not even a sniff, its been on most websites, local tack shop, ebay you name it and nothing! I have thought about bringing down the price but I brought it only in April for £6k and...

I'm going to look into other insurance companys but I also wonder the same :L

This has come through from NFU,but £80 is such a massive hike!!

Ok so here goes! Last year my horse had a fractured splint bone that needed operating on, he was sent to the equine hospital and insurance paid up no problems. This year he was disgnosied via a bone scan as having fused kissing spine 1 vertebra which isn't causing any problems and no...

Mine is currently doing exactly the same, goes out fine and then comes back in all swollen. The horse in the next paddock came in exactly the same yesterday as well today. I've been told its to do with the grass this time of year :-/

Oh yes mines got a permanent yellow nose but loves it x

My lad was diagnoised with this back in may along with a few other things after having a bone scan. He has had 2x tildren, 2 hock injections, weekly physio & Cortaflex. Unfortunatly we have now max'd out our 5k insurance and I have to say his toe drag on the right hock is worse. I'm now trying...
