FreyaBean fantastic to hear! Puts my mind at ease. Paddi22 I am feeding 1kg of dry Copra along with 1kg of Speedibeet to my 16.1 eventer. Everyone commenting how super he looks. 1 round scoop is about a kilo. Horse in light work could prob get half that.

Hi thanks for your reply. The low sugar & starch is exactly why I went for it but just concerned that its too much protein as I believe its not good for their liver?

Quick question about this product. I know people really rate it but is 20% protein too much & what affect would it have on the horse? Thanks :)

Oh sorry!!!! I actually looked them up & thought they were all pellets for some mad reason!!!!

Thanks Girls. Do yous know of any powdered supplements that would be good? Thanks a mill :)

Thanks Ester. Think I might put him onto that Coolstance Copra stuff. Do you know of any general vit & mineral supplements that are good for lami horses? I know they need increased levels of certain minerals etc..

Just wondering what would people recommend feeding a working horse with possible EMS? I currently feed a scoop of wet speedi beet, half scoop of Redmills Horse Care 10 & 200g of Gain Opti Care Balancer 3 times a day with rapeseed oil, comfort gut, msm & electrolytes also. I want to get him on...

Thanks very much MrsNorris. Sounds like you have your hands full this time of year. I can honestly say that my horse has displayed no signs of lameness. He is being ridden, is forward, enjoying his work - gets excited to be jumping!!!! I genuinely find it hard to believe that he would want to...

I will of course report back. Im always chatting to people about it & everyone keeps saying ive done all i can & if hes sound to ride then theres not much more i can do unless he gets lame but i just cant bear looking at him standing uncomfortably. Ive done so much research online but never...

Hi Ester Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate you taking the time to give your opinion. He is 11 years old & I have been eventing him 5 or 6 years. When you say he doesnt sound like he has optimal feet - what do you mean? I have him in now for a few days so will see how he...

No vet never suggested getting tested for these but I have a different vet coming to do some work on Monday so will ask her advice & get him tested.

My vet said from looking at his xrays that his toe was too long & that he didnt have enough heel support & that by not shoeing him correctly could be putting a strain on ligaments in the foot. He siad to shorten his toe & heighten his heels & set the shoe back under the foot. He was fine then...

No havent had nerve block & as i said looks sound on all ground. If you seen him you would say it is definitely not laminitis!!!!! He is fit, healthy & very active & enjoys his work. He's been doing this stance for the last few months & i have kept working him & he hasn't gotten any worse. I...

I'm not sure if you read my entire post but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with a horse & has any ideas on what it might be thats wrong with him. He is completely sound & in full work. The vets have xrayed etc & says he is showing no physical signs of laminitis (apart...

Hi I'm new!! I am just wondering if anyone has come across a horse who shows some signs of laminitis but is perfectly sound for riding? My horse has been standing back on his heels & shifting weight from foot to foot (fronts) the last few summers while resting. I've had him checked by 3...
