    companion or pts

    I had both The Moose and D put down last week. :( D was 34 and with a myriad if issues, it was his time. I chose to have Moose pts at the same time as he was so dependent on his companion, he would never have coped on his own. I would have kept Moose for the rest of his natural life, if I...

    Do you say anything if you notice a "problem" with a livery?

    It's not you that needs to ask permission, it's the bodyworker. I wouldn't have someone lay hands on my horse if they started off by illegally cutting corners like that; it's not professional and to me is a red flag about how cavalier they are about their work.

    Swollen leg not responding to any antibiotics - any suggestions

    Last year, The Moose, who is admittedly a "special" case, came down with simultaneous hind foot abcesses, plus scabby elephant legs. Treated and thought nothing more of it. Exactly the same thing happened this year, so I'm convinced that he is reacting to something in the field. OP, could it...

    Cal Mag v Mag Ox

    Thrush,Cushings vitamins

    The herbs may relieve the symptoms of cushings, but not the underlying problem. Please try the Pergolide again, starting at a low dose and increasing over a number of weeks, it's the only real treatment option. I would also add echinacea to his diet to help support his immune system while you...

    Nunney horse trials

    Sadly next of kin have found out via social media in the past. In this case, the mention of the rider as Canadian could have been enough to identify them. The OP's post was inappropriate IMO.

    Mary King suspended for two months

    Agreed. Looking at the ground jury and TDs for both events, they are hugely experienced and well respected. The fact that both groups decided on separate occasions that Mary was riding dangerously is a strong indicator to me that there is a pattern of behaviour.
