Sending all best wishes and vibes for Bertie. Hope the dog makes a recovery too.

A month's rain in a day for some. Aaaah!

Thanks, everyone. Interesting to hear lots of different views. I just assumed quarantine or testing would be the norm, but apparently not! I guess it's not practical.

Agreed - my experience of navicular is that it is in both fronts but one more than the other. Clearly visible on a 10m circle on the lunge. I tried cartrophen but it had no effect. My horse is on bute. She is better in the summer and worse in wet conditions in the winter. Hope you find what's...

On a yard I am thinking of moving to. It's fairly recently opened and several new horses arriving.

As per title. Is this normal or would you be worried?

Ha! I think you are right about the peacocks! I have not visited the house (despite living here for 30 years) but looking on their website, they DO have peacocks. I think they used to have 2 and now have added 2 more. I measured the distance and it's 1.6 miles away, so I guess, in the right...

I would have her back and SI checked out again. Has the rehab worked? Did it work for a while and now she's in pain again? KS can be difficult to treat and often needs a certain long-term way of riding if the horse is to be pain-free. I sympathise with how you are feeling and there are some...

Good thought - I don't think there are peacocks. The house is about 3 miles away so I think too far away?

No, not a head shaker.

My mare is 60% tb and also head mare. When she stsrts galloping round she makes the other 2 go with her. It's really annoying!

It may be something like that. I'm going to think about whether there's a particular time of day that sets her off. That might be a clue. We have a small livery yard that's opened up in the village but it is in the other direction. She seems to be staring at the nearby stately home on the top of...

Glad to hear that yours has stopped. It is odd, isn't it. I've changed my rented field to one at the back of my house. She used to be in one at the front and still stared in that same direction: north-east. She's got worse about it but it's still the same direction.

A good thought. Is there a particular test I should get? I know I've read somewhere that sometimes it doesn't show up on a standard Cushings test and then you have to go on and do another type?

I have 3. If you don't need 3 (so need another because the first two fret if you take one out), then don't get another. This is going to be an expensive and wet winter and you work full time. Be sensible and say no. You don't have time and it is wet and dark for the next 3 months (which will...
