    Free Gifts from Pet Plan Insurance

    Quick update... Rang to advise there was no sign of my jacket, was advised I would be sent a gilet as the offer had changed, politely told them I wasn't happy about that as it was the jacket that really needed and that was the offer around at the time I took out the policy. A couple of days...

    Horse Dentists in Cheshire

    Tom looks after my boys too. Managed to get Ivan once as he had regular visits to a yard I was on and he praised the work that Tom had done previously. Asha is correct, Tom did train with him.

    Eating wood, is it simply a salt deficiency?

    Thank you everyone for taking the time to respond. I think I will add salt to his diet and see how he gets on (could do without having to pay for new fencing at yard!). I have also reviewed his diet in full and think I will also seek some advice from a couple of feed manufacturers, Dodson and...

    Another recommendation from me! My boy used to be on Farriers Formula, but found F4F to be much more effective... :-)

    When WOULD you hit a horse? Or would you?

    Never. You don't see horses hitting one another, so why would it mean anything to them if we do it.

    Head shaking (stopped. restarted)

    There is a lady on the yard I'm at who's horse has intermittent head shaking, and like your's it stops during the winter, but isn't obvious throughout the whole summer, which is how my hay-fever works - I seem to react to some pollens more than others!!! She's currently riding in a nose net...

    Do You Give People Lifts In Your Box or Trailer?

    Only if I am going to the show or if I have arranged a trip out with a friend, but I'm always careful to make sure the horse is a good traveler and isn't likely to trash my trailer or upset my boy as he has had problems loading and I don't want to give him any excuse not to want to load!!!

    Calmers for exictable/easily stressed horses???

    In the interests of getting started sooner rather than later, I'm just about to head off to the local saddlery and get some Global Herbs Calmer - see how we get on with that and if not I have plenty of other suggestions to try. Thank you again everyone!
