I have 2 mares, one retired and one in work, both live out. The retired one: - Previously had ulcers so was thinking of feeding her ulsakind over winter as had her on it in the past and it seemed to help. However I cant remember how much I used to give her and cant find anything online with...

As the title says really: Does anyone have an email address for Silhouette Saddles?

Thanks for the suggestions guys! As of Monday I am going to ring the vet and see what he says re getting her checked out, also am going to look down the behavioral route as well!! I'm not 100% sure it is pain related though as she is worse (much much worse) when not ridden! She is...

She came to me on Alfa A which was sending her loopy and she now has 1 scoop Hifi Mol free, Equine Americas Magnitude Powder (calmer) and 500g Top Spec cool balancer once a day. Unfortunately she has to have feed other wise she drops weight and she needs to have the calmer!! However once the...

I havent had her checked yet (have had back, teeth, saddle, feet and general vet check done - all came back absoultely fine apart from her just being generally very weak all round due to lack of muscle!!) So have thus far mainly ruled out pain and she is the sort of horse that when shes in pain...

This is exactly what I do every time and it makes no difference!! She is very quick and if she decides she is rearing, turning her in a tight circle doesnt make any difference!!

We were literally walking along the road - nothing out of the ordinary (luckily when she started rearing she was doing it in the field next to the road!!)

Ok so I have had my mare for nearly 6 months now. I knew when I bought her that she was nappy, stroppy, very green for her age (8 and half) and generally a bit of a diva! None of this really bothered me as I bought her as a bit of a project to really work on and make her my own. Basically...

Generally leaning on the bit and sometimes pulling down! Don't really want to change her noseband/add a flash as she is sensitive to pressure on her face and I think that will make her worse! Didn't think of a kimblewick, that's quite a good idea thanks!! Will look into it!!

I am planning on taking her towards the end of this season now so I need to get a bit sorted now. Also even if I didn't take her until September, I will probably still need to change her bit so need to start looking now so that I cant find something she is comfortable with and used to!

Ok so I was planning on taking my mare hunting, but was planning to start with cubbing in September this year (which would give me time to get to know her better as haven't had her long) but I am tempted to take her towards then end of this season. Here's the dilemma: she is currently in a...

I'm never not worrying about my mares weight. She is a tbXwb (built like a tb) and everday my opinion seems to change as to whether she looks alright or not!

I have tried similar and all it does is make her panic or she gets dangerous (kicking out/rearing). If all of my other options fail I will resort back to this, but I want to try other options first because she is 'sensitive'. I am not a fluffy person who is anti giving a horse a b******ing and I...

I never lead her in from the field without a lunge line (in case she rears as this is when she is most likely to!) and have resorted lunging her in a couple of times, but it doesn't always work because there are other horses in the field who get in the way!

Well tonight I went to get her in, I only had to call and she came flying to the gate - horayy!! Except when I tried to take her into the school for a lesson, she promptly planted outside the school, resulting in fits of laughter all round :') Eventually managed to get her into the school, but I...
