Yeah i've heard of that, but he had this nosebleed whilst in the morning in the stable and he hadn't been turned out yet, so it was definitely not exercise induced! Ahh that's interesting, how did the vets diagnose it as a virus? Did it come up in a blood test? What other symptoms did the horse...

Thank you everyone for all your replies! :) The blood tests came back with not a lot really, everything within normal range, liver, kidneys good, he had a tiny very minimal low white blood count. But he also had another test that was testing for inflammation but that came back completely fine...

Hi, Have any of your horses had similar symptoms? Or what do you think it could be? Gradually over a couple/few weeks I noticed my boy beginning to struggle with exercise/decreased fitness, he would get out of breath quicker than usual, becoming lethargic to ride, not keen, disinterested...

About 3 days ago i found my boy in the stable with a minimal bloody right nostril nothing major at all, but he's never had one before, so obviously i found it a little odd. I couldn't see anything on him that indicated that he had banged himself, but i'm guessing he could have. By the time i...

I just wanted to here some of your opinions on running martingales and how useful you think they are? Personally i have no problem with any form of tack anyone uses on their horse, if it works, it works. I find running martingales are exceedingly popular, i don't often see many people riding...

as title says really... i recently found the TRUST bit range, and I like the look of their inno sense flexi bits, but i can't find any reviews, or know of anyone that has tried them. The flexi bits, look similar to nathe/sprenger duo. The horsebitbank, has started selling them now, so if anyone...

Hey so i'm currently trying my boy in a loose ring vulcanite straight bar, (only straight bar I could find at the yard, couldn't find any rubber ones!) I'm thinking of getting a sprenger duo and/or nathe for flatwork, as the vulcanite one is way too thick for his mouth, but I just wanted to see...

So I noticed today that my boy has a fractured/cracked bottom incisor tooth. It's cracked right down the middle of the incisor, so half of the tooth is still embedded in the gum and then there is just a massive gap, where obviously the tooth has broken and gone, so it's just gum, and then the...

Hi, Sorry if this is long... So i'm having a bit of a bitting issue with my horse. He's a 16.2hh warmblood, with a slightly small dished head. I currently ride him on the snaffle ring of his dutch gag, which is single jointed. He goes ok in it, he takes a better contact once he has walk...

hello, my horse developed a splint in December last year on the inside of his left hind, anyway cut a long story short, we had the vet out, he did ultrasound, x-rays etc. came up fine with no fractures, just a shocking size for a splint. He said that the splint looks like it has healed, it's...

hey, my horse has a splint on his near inside hind leg that came up a few weeks ago. He's never been lame, we had the vet out today to take a look and he was very very shocked with how big the lump was. As he didn't have an x-ray machine with him, he scanned him with an ultrasound (obviously...

hey everyone, i'm sorry this is going to be such a long post. on the 15th December I noticed a hard lump on the inside of my 12yo, 16.2 warmbloods near hind, quite high up the cannon bone, it was hard, slightly warm and he wasn't too keen on you squeezing it. I trotted him up and he was...
