Two years ago our 21 year old mare was diagnosed with a huge Granulosa Cell Tumour. She had the surgery to remove it by keyhole, under heavy sedation. She stayed at Rossdales for about a week before coming home, was suppose to have 2 weeks box rest but we ended up auctioning off a small area in...

We thought our mare had colic one night, she was showing all the signs! Turned out it was a granulosa cell tumour on her ovary! She had it removed by laparoscopy under heavy sedation! she made a really good recovery, started light work after just over a month! She was 21 at the time and hasn't...

We had this last year at the yard, all the mares were coming into season, our 21 year old mare was constantly in season! To cut a long story short it turned out that our mare had a granulosa cell tumour on her ovary which was giving off hormones that was making all the mares come into season...

Up until three weeks ago, my daughter has always had the finer types, an Anglo Arab show pony and then a TB, she knew she didn't want another TB, ad we would never find another like her, unfortunately at nine years she was diagnosed with navicular, so has now gone out on loan. We still have the...

Was told by vet when we picked her up to give utte for four days but carry on for couple more days if needed! Have every faith in yard owner to call vet if she is in any doubt when she checks them later!

She seems fine in herself and was eating hay so will ring in morning if she's still not touching hard feed. She only ever passes on food if she's not well! Maybe just getting fussy in old age!

We have used Baileys conditioning cube and Spillers conditioning fibre for our TB mare, who came back off loan looking rather lean. She is now looking great and starting to get quite muscly with exercise. Didnt make her at all fizzy which I was worried about.
