Has anyone had any experience of a horse or pony with tendonitis in their shoulder? Would like to hear of experiences. Thanks

I'm going to get him seen by his usual guys when they are next on a visit over here. He walked sound Sunday/Monday but was lame again last night although now it looks like its the uneven ground which makes him lame!? He is fine on hard even surfaces but after going up a slope or along a part of...

Have spoken to physio who thinks it's not something she can help me with as she thinks it's all in his foot?!

My horse is on box rest after arthroscopic surgery on his knee. He also has capsular foot pain from very mild navicular bursitis, for this he had front shoes with pads to add support. He has 2 walks a day both 5 minutes long. He recently developed all the signs of an abscess brewing in the...

Vet is coming tomorrow morning but farrier thinks shoulder too. It does seem to have eased a bit so fingers crossed it's muscular

Hello again everyone! My horse seems to develop new things to scare me with every other week at the moment! So he's on box rest at the moment, this is his 4th week out of 8. He had arthroscopic surgery on his knee where he has trauma arthritic and after nerve blocks and MRI scans and X-Rays it...

My horse is on week 3 of 8 weeks box rest after having arthroscopic surgery in his right knee. Stitches came out last Tuesday and under surgeons instructions he's having at least 1 at most 2 5 min walks a day. When we leave he's perfect but when we return he starts to get fidgety and shaking his...

To be honest I have no idea what's stopping him eating, only thing I can think of is it's being in the stable. He's off everything except grass and he only perks up when he's out of the stable so I'm guessing he's just miserable in as he normally lives out 24/7. When I go to put him back in he...

I can graze him in hand and on Monday his stiches come out so he has to have 2 5mins walks a day so that should help him perk up a wee bit. After the first 8 weeks he's then on 8 weeks in a small pen. I'm probably panicking too early as he's on a new yard, in a stable but I'm troubled by him...

Any ideas for a horse who's used to living out with my other 3 ponies being on 8 weeks box rest who seems to be suffering from post operative blues? He's off his feed a bit yet perks right up when he goes outside and will eat grass?

Oh brill thank you! Yeah B&B suggestions very welcome! He travel naked over here anyway and is a hot horse at the best of times, live out all year and spends the majority of winter in a lightweight, or this past winter his waterproof fly rug too! Was thinking of putting GoPro in lorry so I...

Ours are busy and narrow, not the best combination! Oh fab, thank you! Any idea where is a good place to stay? Nothing too pricey ha! He has bone spurs on his right knee and injections haven't really done anything so now it's over to the experts to see if they can help him

Yeah first trip with a horse off island as our local transporter collected him from the UK for me! Bringing him in my lorry, boyfriend is designated driver as he has experience driving in the UK. Looking to come into Portsmouth Harbour which by Google looks like I have a 45 min drive to Liphook?

I will be bringing my horse to the UK form Guernsey in the next few weeks for an appointment at Liphook. I have never travelled off island before and would be glad of any tips or advice anyone might have. Thanks Kate & Indy

Blimey you're not wrong! Sounds very technical! Might wait till I get home and my techy other half can earn some brownie points by helping me haha
