Hi Looking for a list of recommended instructors in the area and how much they charge for 30mins/45mins We have been "winging" it on and off for about 8 years and although I think we've done okay, we have reached as far as we can go without some proper coaching Currently in Chester le...

I would imagine if someone was looking for specific feeding advice they would start their own thread or look at the numerous other existing threads which are actually looking for advice. This thread was simply a curiosity post which I stated. By replying to my comment it in that manner it was...

This comment has no relevance to the thread, I am just curious about what others feed their horses... I am not asking for any advice

I’m not asking for advice on what to feed him... as stated initially I am just curious as to what others feed their horses... There isn’t any harm in giving him a handful of chaff when he is brought in to work, his condition is fine and as I stated above he is my loan horse so I don’t actually...

The chaff is just a token feed as a little reward for the work he does

Just asking out if curiosity ? My loan horse is in light workload (hacked twice a week and schooled twice a week) and is fed a handful of chaff on the days he works

Yeah, not expecting much with his back due to age but just the improvement we have we’re happy with ?

Hi everyone, Just wanted to give you an update. We’re now 5 weeks into the tablets and we’re all happy with the progress made so far ? Top photo before starting the tablets, bottom taken today

Thanks ? Knocking them down now isn’t an issue as my mam has recovered from her operation and is able to help again

Hi, Looking for freelance riding instructor in the Newcastle area who will come to my yard. Who would you recommend and how much do they charge (30/45 mins or 1hr)? Thank you :)

Thanks everyone! Here is a picture of him from today We have agreed to start him on the cushings medication and see how he goes. We’re not changing his feed initially as want to see how he goes with tablets and at the moment he enjoys it and it isn’t flaring his laminitis. Double checked his...

I’m a little cautious of the grass pellets/chaff if they were to have a high sugar content. He used to suffer terrible with his laminitis at our old yard as the grass was quite rich! Do you know of any alternatives? Or would you just feed a smaller quantity?

Hi all, Looking for some advice for a friend in relation to her retired Veteran Welsh Cob. Exact age not known but I would guess at 25+ and he has not been riden for around 3-4 years now. He hasn't been a good doer for a few years, however this winter she has struggled to keep any condition...

Thanks to everyone for your replies. I have a feeling that some of you may have misinterpreted my query. My query was simply in relation to buying the horse. I am under no illusion that horses have a high monthly cost, which I have researched thoroughly and have prepared for, as well as...
