Oh I forgot to add, he also had an ultrasound of his suspensories, which came back fine.

Hi everyone, apologies in advance for this being a long one. About 5/6 months ago, my boy started bucking uncontrollably in canter, then trot, then walk, to the point he was unrideable. We think a bit of this behaviour was down to the management he was receiving at the yard, and was having...

Hi, so this may be a long one, so please bear with. So I have a 6 rising 7 (in April) warmblood gelding we've only had him since April last year. About 4 months ago, he started bucking undersaddle (which was totally out of character). It got progressively worse to the point he wouldn't even do...

Hey, I was wondering whether anyone else has a horse like this. I describe him as a “fair weather horse” hahah! He will stay out in the field on dry days, even windy ones but anytime it rains he jumps out!! 🤔😂 even with a turnout rug on. Obviously being in Britain he’s got to...

Theocat, he can cope for short ish periods of time, like when picking his feet out etc. No, I don’t think so. When it comes to it, it’s almost like he tires quickly from standing on 3 legs and needs to put it down. He does often rest both hind legs a lot, but a lot of horses do that. Maybe it’s...

Hi everyone, So i’m having a bit of bother with my gelding, just a niggly thing that something isn’t quite right. When he’s shod, he almost struggles to stand on 3 legs. He not naughty or nasty when having it done, it’s just as if he can’t stand on 3 legs for long periods of time, and i’m...

Hi, We’re currently on the hunt to find a trailer, but I have no idea where to begin. What ones do you have/think are the best? Obviously we want something reliable, sturdy, tows well, well ventilated/light etc. It would be for a 16.1hh warmblood (however he’s quite compact). I’ve looked...

Hi, I noticed today that my horse (he’s a 6yo warmblood) suddenly has what we’re pretty sure is a locking stifle on his left hind. We’ve texted our vet to ask his opinion. It has come on out of nowhere. We’re pretty sure he’s not lame in walk or trot. The times it “locks” are usually when he...

Hi, Do any of you add oil to your horses feed? A vet (who helped our boy over his colic) recommended adding oil (especially in the winter) instead of upping his grains etc. to keep on weight and condition, when quality of grass & turnout in winter is lacking. Is feeding oil good? Would you...

Hi, I was wondering whether anyone had any experience with colic that did not cause the heart rate to increase. Our boy is currently in the ICU at newmarket, after developing colic early friday afternoon. He was very uncomfortable, stretching (like trying to urinate), banging himself against...

Hi everyone, I know the cost varies etc, but I was hoping I could get the average or what it costed you? And for those who had X-rays, how many did you have and where on the horse? Or where is the best/most important areas to have x-rayed? Thanks :)

I was just wondering what all of yous opinions are on them? I haven’t got any myself, and don’t plan on using them, I was just curious to hear from others that have. I see they’re often used by professionals and a lot of people. I always thought they weren’t allowed in competitions? (I know...

Hello, I was looking at this (2014) 4yo gelding and he’s a very lovely warmblood, but he is bum high, or he has such a prominent bump on his croup that it makes him appear bum high? I would upload pictures, but i’m not sure how. He seems a good weight and well muscled (for a 4yo). He has a...

Hey, As title really. I’m curious to know what your opinion is on what you look for in watching a horse loose jumping? Especially a young one 3/4 who hasn’t been backed, so you don’t know what they’re like undersaddle. (I know a lot of people don’t agree with loose jumping and that’s fine) :)...

As title really... There’s this really nice rising 4yo unbacked, imported straight from the breeder, had only lived out until a couple weeks ago. I’m very interested in him, he would be a competition horse. Anyway, I would get a 5 stage vetting on any horse I get, and I know x-rays are very...
