So before I continue, horse is being seen by vet but just seeing if anyone has similar. My boy came in from field 7weeks ago with a puncture wound to hock. Vet came out and he ended up in vet school for 10 days. Tiny fragments of bone were removed and wound was treated with antibiotics etc...

Thank you!

I’ve recently purchased an Irish sports horse who I’m hoping to register BS. Before I email sji doesn’t anyone know of a way to search whether horse has Irish jumping points?

Has anyone had a horse with a progressive Ethmoid Haemotoma and what was the outcome? My mare has had a small nosebleed pretty consistently for a number of months. Because of lockdown I had a video call consultation and at first we thought it was just a trauma (perhaps a kick in the field or...

Haven’t read all the replies to the threat but wanted to let you know about my horse. Four years ago she came in from the field lame and after nerve blocks and MRI scan she was diagnosed with tears to the DDFT in both front feet. Prognosis was incredibly poor and I was basically told it was...

Heymich, that is exactly what I thought, just never seen this before. Interesting to watch!

Not sure if this is in the right section but didn’t know where else to put it! My mare is in a mixed herd and until recently she was the only mare in amongst geldings. Herd is really settled and there are no issues. We have recently introduced a new mare and again everything is fairly settled...

A quick little question I hope someone can answer. Going to a local unaffiliated show next week and there is a class for Ridden Sports Horse. If there is no indication of “snaffle only” on the schedule can a Pelham be used as with any other showing class? TIA

I passed mines with my own trailer (ifor Williams 510) and my own car (Nissan Terrano). Granted it was quite a few years ago so whether the requirements have changed or not.

Toyota landcruiser - seriously fab for towing 😊

No idea if this has already been asked or not but was speaking to someone at yard today who pointed out that her fairfax Girth (and mines) were really loose at front (where the shaping is) but tight at back. Is this normal? Thought it was supposed to be even pressure throughout but now confused.

To be honest haven't read all the post but wanted to give you some hope with my story. Two years ago my mare was diagnosed with massive tear in the DDFT and early navicular changes. Was basically told by consultant at Vet School that it would be highly unlikely she would ever be ridden again...

Thanks everyone, turn out it is o ky abou £27 so I'll just go ahead and get it done 😊

So now that the Eventing season is over I thought I would head over to the dark side and do some BS over the winter. Just filling out the registration and I now realise all newly registered horses need to be microchipped!!! Mines isn't. Just wonder what the cost of this is to decide if it's...

Drumclog should definitely be back next year, and it's a fab 80t starter, this was my very first BE about four years ago. Forgandenny is FAB! I did the 90 and my friend did 80t, great course and if horse doesn't like ditches there are alternatives.
