What a lovely kid, she handled it so well. Great character building 😀😀🐴🐴

Thankyou lar that’s very interesting because the farrier, who is first class thought he had a abscess behind, 2 days later he was very bad with laminitis. Only had pads in front then 😀

Thank you all for your replies, so lovely to hear of the recoveries. Mine had pads in all round and only mild rotation. He is 17 so happy to retire if needed but he is so well in himself, bossing around his feild mate we thought we would ask the vet. He was lame for three months, sound for two...

How long after your horse was sound after laminitis did you ride them. We are going to speak to the vet on Monday but just wondered if anyone had experience, thanks

Ŵe have a new one, who are people using in Cornwall for second hand saddles supply and fitting. Very wide Connemara. Thany you 😀🐴

Hi is having dengie hi lite mixed with his Bute, I have ordered a no molasses mix dengie now. I worry all the time about ulcers etc

That’s what I thought, but was trying to take everything on so didn’t think of it till later x

Thank you all very helpful, when he said reduce hay to 4.5kg all I could think was ulcers. Luckily he is annoyed but not stressed

Thank you that mirrors my thinking, my vet is not advocating movement, my boy has been in the stable for over three weeks, luckily big stable and rubber matts x

Thank you so much for your reply, the dengie is the one the vet wrote down but I will order the molasses free one. He was already one the Baileys lo cal for laminitis. It is minefield I will ring the vet re getting tests done ASAP x

Tha

Thanks

Thanks, will get him sorted once he Is sound, daft thing is we have been so careful the last 18 months because he was older, have kept his weight down fed everything suitable for a laminitic. He has been seen by vets for injections, I always ask what they think not one has said he was too fat

Trickle net at night hayledge nets in the day, although he is ripping them. I think I will try and get another opinion
