I have had 3 horses with sarcoids. One I bought nievely not realising that it had a sarcoid on its face. Thisvin itself was not a problem but it did suddenly develop several la4ge aggressive sarcoids on its stomach. This horse was bought to sell on so I didn't seek treatment but sold on at a...

My dutch warmblood was diagnosed with hock spavin a year ago at just 7 years old. She was never lame but had an odd gait in walk and a reluctance to want to move forward in canter which is very unlike her. X rays showed nothing but bone scan showed uptake in the hocks so both hocks were...

Literally just had the same debate myself. Have 2 mares. 1 of them has had no end of issues but premium never went up. However this year my 2nd mare had a claim and they put her premium by 80%. it menas I am paying £150 a month with following exclusions: mare 1: both front legs excluded...

Riaflex provide some of the highest spec joint supplements on the market. Well worth looking at. www.riaflex.co.uk

My mare had exactly the same sarcoid in the same area as you are describing. She was 5 years old. She was not insured but having had another mare with sarcoids I didn't want to mess around with it. I opted for BCG. She had 5 lots of injections (5 different days), and was treated at home because...

My mare was written off as a 4 year old, 5 years ago with lateral colateral ligament damage in both front legs. I was told she would never return to ridden work because she was so young it didn't bode well. Against my instinct I box rested her for 6 months, she had shock wave and IRAP therapy...

I am looking at relocating to North Somerset area and I am currently extremely lucky to be surrounded by top class competition venues. Please could anyone tell me what venues there are in north somerset area to compete at. I am aware of the hand equestrian centre but this is about it. Any help...

I wouldn't use either. IMO both are very low value for money if you look at the actual ingredients in both these products. There are many other far higher quality joint supplements on the market that gram for gram of active ingredients work out far cheaper than Superflex and Cortaflex, and more...

I started with the shires bucket muzzle but my mare quickly learnt that she could easily get this off over her years. I ended up buying the greenguard head collar. I then cut all the straps off the bucket muzzle and attached the bucket muzzle with straps (like flash straps), the the d rings on...

Have a look on the Riaflex website. There's loads of info on there that will hopefully help you. www.riaflex.co.uk

No I would not try other remedies first. Given its location is right next to the eye you need to get this treated by liverpool ASAP. It is more than likely they will recommend the BCG injections. My mare had this treatment for her eye and it completely got rid of the sarcoid. I have had 3...

Have a look at the Riaflex website. Their Joint Plus product is the strongest on the market. Loads of info on their website and the lady who owns is extremely helpful if you need to ask any questions. www.riaflex.co.uk

Worth trying MSM for itchy dogs. Has amazing anti inflammatory properties and is totally natural. Is very cost effective to feed so well worth trying it. I know a lot of dogs with seasonal allergies who do really well on it without the use of things like piriton. Also if it is pollen based...

Joint Aid is one of the far less superior products on the market. You pay for what you get and with this product it is rather a lot (96%) of fillers. It contains a tiny amount of the three main active ingredients at 1% Chondroitin, 1% Glucosamine, and 2% MSM. On top of that they use the very...

oops sorry. I didn't get to the last page. Clearly you sent her to Rockley. So glad she is doing so well
