Fantastic! Thanks everyone!

I have bought a new horse and want to register him for British Eventing, he is already registered with his old owner and so the BE website says I must complete a change of ownership form before I can renew his membership for me to compete him. However the problem is his old owner is away...

Hi, I dont post very often but was hoping someone may be able to provide me with some information on my new horses breeding? He is passported as 'Carrahane Billy' and was imported from Ireland (as the name suggests) and was wondering if anyone else has a Carrahane horse? I have only...

Hi everyone! So have just faced my fears and got on! Vets suggested Sedalin if I was sure how she reacted to it- I wasn't 100% sure the Sedalin would make her more settled and didn't want to be at risk of her getting down suddenly. So I tacked her up and walked her around the school for a while...

RIP Doyle. Made me cry, they really are our best friends x

Hi everyone, thanks so much for all of the advice. She is absolutely awful to lead, i tried leading her round to the school to walk this evening, as have just been doing in on the yard as she would go crazy anywhere away from her stable, and unfortunately tonight was no better- I think I will...

Thanks very much- deep down I know thats what I need to do! I just don't want anything to go wrong as we've not had the best of luck with her! Im nervous but so excited to ride after so long, so should just get on with it. I daren't even consider using sedalin before getting on her for the...

You are best off asking your vet, but often triclabendazole is one of the main treatments- think commercial name is fasinex? But don't quote me on this, I'm just a lowly vet student ;) Alot of the treatments arent registered for use in horses, so definitely a vet needed!

I have a 7yo mare who is extremely green and literally locks onto a trotting pole on the floor or a 1m fence and will launch herself at it and jump it at least double the height. There is no way of stopping her. She is extremely scopey and careful, but the super speed we occasionally get is...

Hi, New here and looking for a bit of advice really.. I have a 6 year old WB mare, who happened to jump a 7ft hedge out of her field and cut her legs and ended up with ligament damage for which she had an op and was told by vet to have her on 2 months box rest.. Unfortunately she got a bit...
