Hi, I am bumping this up for you as I too have a horse that gets anxious hacking alone and can be over the top spooky and will lose confidence and nap at times. Never been a fan of calmers as didn't believe but now I have a problem I would try anything if it would help.

Has anyone had a lungeing arena made or a turnout area that you can also lunge on? What size and what surface did you have. Also any recommendations on who you had to do it. I am in Suffolk and not sure who to telephone for a quote . Any firms that are good and any I should steer clear of. Also...

Sorry texting from a misbehaving phone grrrr......I shall continue. Friends horse showed similar siezure like behavior. Vet was called and it turn out that he had a migrating worm larvae that had travelled outside his gut into his blood stream into other organs such as his brain. This caused...

How frightening for you and your friend. This has reminded me of an incident that affected a friends horse many years . He also
