Hi, I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet, was wanting a bit of advice from anyone who has a pony with hay fever/dust allergy. I have had my pony 13 years now and have always managed it very well, he had eye drops a few summers ago as got very swollen eyes. He lives out and has a fly...

What was the accident she had? Well you know the horse better than anyone and if she is sound the probs fine. Just that would be my first though seeing bruising like that, but could have been caused by the accident and movement of hoof then? But do remember laminitis is not just caused by loads...

It looks like deep bruising, however as has been said before it does look to me the shape of the pedal bone and I would defiantly check for laminitis ASAP (even though you have said she is not lame) The bruising does not look exactly like any I have seen before on a a laminiti, (more a toe and...

I have a colored pony too and when he molts he goes he goes grey almost roany like yours, but this is only as he loses the winter coat (he has no grey in the winter other than the white patches) and when his full summer coat comes though he has none of the roan look about him. I dont know if...

My boss can vault onto any horse so long as he can reach its mane, is amazing even 17hh! Other than using the mane to hold onto I have no idea how he does it!

Maybe you should ask your farrier why they are doing what they are doing instead of trying to tell them how to do there job? After all they have had over 4 years training.....

Thank you! He is lovely, I was very lucky :-) But your 2 both look lovely!

I use a noise net to, have never tried any supplements. Mine has a dust allegery and is over the winter months, but as soon as there is pollen about in the spring and until the harvest is over and all that dust died down he has to have a net on, you would not believe the difference it has until...

So yer he is gray not chestnutey so not exactly the same but other than that quite similar.

I hope this works my first time at posting pics! As a yearling when we went to see him: Think he is 2 or 3 in this one: And last summer sometime so just 6 in this one:

I will have to go on to my computer and work out how to get them up on here, never done it before but most be easy?! Mine is by Dancing With Wolves as was a bit of an accident, we had a yearling mare who died suddenly and out of the blue, nothing we could have done but said I would never get...

Woooo, your first one looks really like mine! But he has a few more spots on over the bum and is a Leopard. When I got him as a yearlinng they said he might get darker or lighter, but he has stayed exactly the same! And is now almost 7, I also have a photo of him at 3 months and he just looks...

Hi, I know about Imprints. Andrew Poynton runs courses for farriers to go on so quite a lot of farriers do know how to use them, and they are quite simple really to fit. However if you do want them you need to have a good place for shoeing. It must be dry, clean and level and electricity...

The Farrier Registration Act can in in 1975, so a very long time ago. And this is copied from there web site: What is the Council's policy in relation to modern shoeing materials? The Farriers (Registration) Act 1975 was set up to regulate the activity of farriery in the interests of...

A farrier will have more experience than a barefoot trimmer. Farriers have to do a 4 1/2 year apprenticeship before qualifying unlike a barefoot trimmer who needs no qualifications at all (however most have gone on a little course about it) I think that tells you who will have the most...
