I always use shear ease. I sent off 3 sets last week, and they were back within about 48 hours - I couldn't believe it! They are fab, £6.50 for horse clippers - per set! www.shearease.co.uk

I use Keratex and have done for the past 3 years. I have a TB will crap feet - my farrier suggested it when I first got him as he kept loosing shoes. It takes about 6/12 months to get into their system - but it's fab stuff. One of my friends also uses it on hers now and already notices the...

Cooll - sounds good! It won't be me that rides as I'm 33 weeks pregnant! But my fab sharer will be riding him, I'm just the transport! Will keep you posted! I've already called Kitty and she's sending me a memebership form and schedule! MX

Ah thank you v much - thats perfect!

OOHH, does anyone know a website for Potton? I can't seem to find one or schedules and desperate to go to the next one in Nov! Thank you....!

I have a fab sharer who currently rides twice a week, but as I'm 6.5months pregnant she's gonna do 3 days a week from now on. She pays for Jack's shoes. The money helps, but to be honest, it means I get 2/3 days at home with hubby! And with baby on the way, it's gonna help loads. I have my...

My horse had a severe SDFT injury to his hind leg. He had a lesion (hole) in the tendon on the point of his hock, as well as managing to shred the tendon just below the hock, so generally a real mess! I can email his scans to you if you like, then you can compare to yours if it helps?! Jack...

My TB drags both his back toes!!! Jack had a severe tendon injury in his offside hind hock just over a year ago and had surgery on it. He is 100% sound now and my farrier/vet isn't at all worried. Jack doesn't use his back end particularly well (that's what we are working on in schooling...

I know the feeling! What about lunging, you could combine the lunging with putting some jumps out on a 20m circle and asking him to jump these, also, when schooling you could do do some raised trotting poles - I do these with my horse, gets them picking up their feet lovely - and it makes them...

I was lucky in the fact that Hubby bought most of my horse Jack, but I did manage to put some towards it from some inheritance I had. However, I guess if I wasn't that lucky and I wanted one bad enough, yes I guess I would go for the bank loan option or BEG my Dad! I don't have any savings...

Blimey - I've been following this post for the last couple of days - really sorry that outcome not a little more positive. Like AmyMay says', sounds to me like they are worried of the possible fall out from it all - and better to leave horses where they are, than risk injury to oneself or...

Depends what sort of tendon problems that you mean? can you explaing a little more?

Fantastic - love the responses! Am gonna be real sad, and check the highway code for which page it is! Several years ago, I did just what you suggested Minerva, it was a horrible looking man and his wife, they stopped the car and he started chasing after us - on foot!!! Luckily we were just...

I've had 2 sharers for Jack. Both of who have in the past had their own horses. My current sharer pays for his shoes, she rides twice a week and looks after him just how she would her own - she sticks to his routine etc. As she used to own her own, I often ask her advice on feed, shoes or...

OK, what do you all do when a driver winds down his window and shouts ' you shouldn't be riding side by side'. Correct me if I'm wrong, but: a) It is still legal and the highway code hasn't been changed - yet! b) we always wear flourescents and the friend I'm with wears one that says 'Caution...
