Was just wondering if anyone on here is an equine veterinary Nurse. I would really like to know how you go about gaining the work experience and the qualifications. Any info would be much appriciated. x

My mare has really been sweating alot when worked recently, she is half clipped but where shes not, she is sweating alot, she hasnt started molting yet, and we will be competeing alot more soon and i dont really want her overheating. Have a left it too late to full clip her? and what damage will...

My mare seems to be in a really really bad mood this week, people are saying she might be coming into her first season which is meant to be the worst? I had a lesson today and she just did not want to jump...took her hacking yesterday and she is normally very good in traffic but was acting as if...

o so many good ones i cant choose

I have a coloured irish thoroughbred mare (Ellie-Mae) and cant decide on a good show name. Either "An Irish Illusion" or "Lady Mae"...or can anyone come up with anything else? Thanks x

How/where did you get the stencil of your horses name? really wanna be a copy cat lol

First of all i just wanted to know if anyone has gone hacking in the snow? Took my mare for a walk around the feild but the ice and snow just balled up in all of her feet. Is there anything i get put in her feet to stop this a bit?

I was just wondering if any one else's mares are even more stroppy than usual this time of year? Mine is normally a handful although at the moment she seems to be alot more aggressive and dangerous. Had her back teeth and tack checked, i know she is not in pain just being very grumpy. Dont know...

mine is ellie mae...hate it but unlucky to change it

Have exactly the same type of stroppy mare lol....and exactly the same trailer problem, have had a few chunks out of other horses faces in the trailer :S..but tried oestress and didnt really see a difference. Put it down to just her and the way she is...a mare lol but would love to hear if you...

She is absolutely gorgeous and im so sorry but really respect your decision x

My mare did this, wasnt brilliant at loading at home either but was much worse away from home. She wasnt scared just stubborn and nosy. Used to look around her stand at the bottom of the ramp and plant her feet. We had to take our trailer to car parks and places like that that were near by (just...
