Your mare sounds exactly like my previous horse, i spent 18 months trying various things and researching all the symptoms had him scoped for ulcers but clear! had his droppings tested as they were also foul smelling at times and like cow pats, nothing showed up, hind gut ulcers do not show up...

Add speedi beet or fibre beet and some oil to his hi fi and also a balancer for his vit/minerals and you should see an improvement in his condition after a few weeks.

yes fields flooded at the moment and knee deep mud so we turn out either individually or in pairs in the school whilst doing yard jobs, it keeps them sane being able to have a roll and a quick groom with each other, I left a yard that didn't allow turnout in the school whilst mucking out when...

Grass! if you haven't got decent grazing then grass nuts, readi grass etc , adlib hay/haylage, pre/probiotics to ensure the gut working properly and a good balancer (equilibra is fab). hope this helps.

my boy eats the mollichaff alfa a oil but won't eat the dengie one? the mollicaff one seems softer and not as stalky as the dengie but i do mix it with speedibeet so it is nice and moist and he wolfs it down. he is putting on condition nicely with it and has a good shine to his coat, it hasn't...

Farrington w/h :-)

wow she is allergic to alot of things! I have a very gut sensitive horse and have done alot of research into feeds, usually it is recommend a high oil and fibre diet and low starch/sugar diet but if her liver is compromised a high oil diet is not recommended? therefore i would probably try a...

pre and pro biotics gut balancer and charcoal powder also try and source some good quality hay, haylage dosn't agree with my horses gut far too acidic for him even when it is nearly like hay! haylage balancer did nothing for him but the biotics and charcoal has worked.

my horse has a very sensitive gut, i was convinced he had stomach ulcers as he displayed alot of the signs and had loose droppings and major issues when being girthed and also major nappying issues under saddle. I have done a lot of research over the last 2 yrs of owning him, had a full vet...

my horse is a poor doer and a stressy type, after trying various conditioning feeds over the last 18 months he is looking great now on mollichaff fibre condition(low sugar/starch)speedi-beet and topspec cool cubes with adlib hay, and a scoop of charcoal supplement. haylage is too acidic for...

some lovely sealskinz waterproof riding gloves and a £50 next gift voucher, 3 pairs of thermal hot socks and a tin of quality street from my 18yr old son who has just started working and he got me all these with his lst wage packet! meant a lot to me. also new luxury bedding set, cutlery set...

herd of cows or pigs, my horse is terrified of both! oh and tractors and people with umberella's.

1)people not pushing their muck back in the trailer so you have a mountain to shift before you can empty your own skip bucket! 2) Also people leaving the brew room a tip with biscuit wrappers, pot noodles, dirty cups etc...for goodness sake the bin is less than a foot away! 3) people not...

soya oil or veg oil, a pre pro biotic for his gut to help him utilize the fibre in his diet and add some spedi beet for weight gain, that's what worked for my poor doer but also a must is good quality hay! mine can't have haylage either it just gives him the runs and he stops eating it as too...
