I am 7 weeks post op with mare - same as you bought as a schoolmaster. She was brilliant for 3 years (a couple of iffy moments each year put down to wear and tear) then suddenly ran through a jump which alarmed me and I started process to get to the bottom. She ened up with bone scan and KS...

Thanks Tallyho - very interesting I printed them off. Update - ended up having a bone scan after hind limb lameness appeared apparent but xrays showed clean. Bonescan resulted in 'hotspots' in back and pelvis. Futher investigation - Kissing spine and sacroilliac problem. I have appointment...

Thanks guys. 2 vets came and did an extensive work up with her. Bottom line is now either lower back / SI / hock and then potentially to look at ovaries / ulcers. She is booked into horspital for full diagnostics / xrays. the day after she looked particularly stiff behind and almost lame on...

Thanks Wizpop - this has crossed my mind too - vets are up later so will keep you posted. Where do you start - it could be so many things after reading the forum posts. Just had my other mare pts 3 weeks ago and this one is supposed to be the one that just does her job so feeling rather...

Yes this is what I suspect although I really don't know what which is why I have got vet involved. They did blood test - phoned me with result and it was all a bit confusing. I do remember them saying nothing to worry about. Vet coming back Wed for further examination / to discuss where to go...

Thanks, I dont suspect KS - I dont know enough about it. Just came up in post history when I searched ulcers. Vets have done full bloods so I am assuming nothing serious going on with toxins etc. She is well muscled (she is TB and fairly high withered but not scooped out) and even vet on...

Thanks BP, she has moved with all her mare friends to the summer paddock which has more grass and plants in (too many for my liking) I wouldnt say enough of a change to upset her - Just thought I would mention the change. She seems happy enough out in the field. She had 2 cheek teeth out...

Just wanting to pick your brains really. Horse is now under vet advice but I am frustrated and its all rather slow. Have looked through loads of old posts and still cant come to any conclusion. Horse is 14 bought as a schoolmaster for myself to low level event. Always pulls it out the bag...

Parklands hire out a 3.5T self drive I think and may also do the transport for you.

hi, wanting the living in my 7.5T modernised / changed and a 'tiny' scratch (ok a rip in the panel near the steps) repaired. Any recommendations ? Thanks.

You should write a book - love your style! Well done on getting round despite all the drama with dressage - that jump is huuuge!!

Well done - fab pics :)

Yeah we were up on hill and could see it happening. I dont think the timing was right I see someone has raised it on the BE forum. I heard a lot of people complain that they got TF time penalties and didnt think they were off pace and word got out and so the watches were used. I think the 100...

I dont know to be honest - it wasnt my jump but we could hear over the radio's the final jump person reporting in.

He is gorgeous :)
