Hey guys I have recently taken on a rescue, She needs alot of TLC and is very under weight. My vet is coming to check her out, take bloods, jab and worm on Thursday. I am a bit worried as she doesn't like picking up her back feet, but she is only 4 so im hoping its just inexperience rather...

HI, I know this is an old thread but i wondered how you got on? I have just taken on a rescue, she is very underweight, at a guess id say a body condition of 1.5 to 2. I have decided to put her on Blue chip pro and alfa oil with unlimited haylege. I will be starting small, giving a handful of...

Hi guys I'm looking to buy a horse that I have been told has an allergic reaction to a plant in the paddock, most likely buttercups and is on piriton, However I believe it's very bad sweet itch. if I took this horse on can you give me any ideas on how to manage this please, will be getting...

Thanks, will just have to bite the bullet and get her checked out. Better to lose a bit of money now than loads later I guess x

Thanks Rse for replying I think i am going to have to call the vet out, luckily my vet is fab and knows me, I will ask if he can fit me in to try to keep the costs down. Im praying it is just cosmetic as this mare is exactly what im looking for x

The closest picture online i can find of it is this....only its bigger and healed over, new hair growth etc [/URL]

Hi Guys I went to view a horse tonight and before i went the owner said she had a small lump on her leg, when i got there however its huge! its more of a growth than a lump i think, he says the farrier files it down for him. When i asked how she got it he said she had an old injury to her...

Hi guys I'm looking for a livery yard around the Barry, Dinas, Penarth sort of areas somewhere where they accept mares and geldings, and 24/7 summer turnout Cosmeston don't have any spaces right now, downside has very limited turnout. Are they any other places you can recommend please...

Thanks guys, Its lovely to have so much support :) Any ideas on the cost of Xrays? lol Im guessing he will have to go in to have it done x

Thanks :D So soak the hay, get a lite balancer and chaff, i will also get supplements. With regards to exercise, i will have to speak to my vet tomorrow but i will start taking him on walks down the lane via lead rope until i know i wont hurt him to sit on him. I have just insured him this...

Thank you all so much for your replies, Its really given me hope. He is such a sweet boy so i want the best for him. Im going to speak to my vet about getting an xray done, unfortunately because i have only just got him i haven't yet got him insured so i will probably have to fit the bills...

Thank you :) Yes the vet told me there was 2 different types and without an x ray he couldnt tell me how bad it is, thats a route i dont want to go down yet untill i have more information. Unfortunatly he is carrying a lot of extra weight so im trying to control his diet so see if that helps but...

Thank you Lurcher, Sounds promising, Im boy is 16, i have a rescue center looking in to his background for me and my farrier is coming out on Monday to have a look at what he can do. I will look in to those supplements. Im not a big rider to be honest, I only walk and trott and maybe pop the...

Hello, Admittedly i haven't read through the forum so if this has been posted before please excuse me for the repeat. I brought a horse 2 weeks ago, was very silly and didn't get him vetted, i trusted his 'owner' I since found out she was a dealer and since i have had him he has got...
