Hi, I wonder if anyone can give me any advise on which numnah to use please. My horse currently has a wintec changeable gullet sadle with the black gullet. He has lost only a small amount of weight recently which is just causing the back of his saddle to slightly move around. The front is...

nope that wasnt it.. but thanks :-(

my old mare has yet again got rain scald. she is clipped and kept really clean. she has her rug off when warm and dry to prevent overheating. And she obviously has to have it on when its wet or cold. My vet says its just because she is old and her defences are not working as they should. (35...

no he had 7 months off with treatments and got the all clear 6 months ago. The back lady is coming back for a check up in two weeks but ive felt where he was in pain last time and he doesnt dip or flinch there anymore.

Ive had him since he was born and he is 16 now. He has always been forward going but over the last 5-8 years he has just got worse! He has a bad back and I think he got some bad habbits from the pain but he has the all clear now and I started from scratch as much as I could. Just hasnt really...

I dont but ive lost my confidence a bit with him as he is so naughty! :-( He is even like it with my very confident friend so it cant be that im letting of bad vibes. I dont feel that nervous but It feels like he will kill me one day! :-/

My horse rushes, tries to rear and bucks in canter. And he charges round on the lunge. Generally very green! He has had everything checked and I think he just has bad manners now. Im wondering if sending him away for a couple of weeks to be re-schooled would help? or is he too old?? Maybe...

Just wondering if all the fog we have had lately has been spooking there horses! Also as all the leaves change colour my horse thinks they are now going to eat him alive if he goes too close! As the seasons change my horses deffinately change too! Winter to Spring = a spring in there...

Thanks for everyones comments it really helps. I have just left him to it before only once and his stable was a wreck the next morning! But he was still there weaving! I suspect he started again when he saw me and wasnt doing it all night! :-/ He is out every day all day and after bonfire...

Yes he has his mum with him in the field. And next to him in the next stable.

Well Mini has been on his relax me for nearly 3 weeks. I think it has taken away some of his spookyness... and he seems much more relaxed in the field. Still on-going inspection! But results so far seem to be on the plus side! (Not wanting to speak too soon!)

I have seen him do it in the field once but it was years ago. The stable is the main problem. I worry about leaving him out as the field gets in a bit of a state through the winter. Do you think he is just been naughty or is it that he is board/stressed? Also if I take him out of the...

My horse weaves and he is getting worse. In the stable if he does not want to be in there he will get all silly and start marching round and weaving. even with a haynet. He takes a mouthfull then goes to the door and weaves. I put a weaving gate up but when its closed he hates it and gets...

I just started using this supplement yesterday for my very highly strung horse... In hope it may calm his nerves a little!... Just wondering if anyone else had tried this with there horse and how it worked with them... :-)

Does anyone know a good saddle fitter near sheffield please?
