    blood test - weight/condition loss

    Hi Jill, just worked out the link you sent, very interesting. Many of those natural products are in the Thunderbrooks products. I give them liquorice treats from time to time, so glad that's good, but didn't know about garlic! I did know about papaya as we ate alot when I lived in Africa, but...

    blood test - weight/condition loss

    Wow that's all so helpful, thanks. Where do you get coconut oil from? The vet said vegetable oil so I went and bought litres of the stuff! I forgot to tell you that she was also given an anabolic steroid injection on his last visit, which he said would last three months and turn her around...

    blood test - weight/condition loss

    Thanks JillA, It started with her being in hospital for a hock flush. When I picked her up there was a nasty smell about her, I was told it was probably just anaesthetic working its way out. Hock healed fine, no lameness or problems, but still the smell continued, so was given another course of...

    blood test - weight/condition loss

    Just wondered if anyone has suggested ulcers? I'm have terrible trouble nursing a horse with ulcers, she just can't absorb anything and is fading away, just heartbreaking. Any advice or experiences with ulcers, gratefully received.

    Horsewalker Help Please?

    For everyone's information, my reply finally came in from Kylix UK Walkers; we asked for a quote for a reasonably priced 4 horse walker for a small private yard. They said; We don't do budget walkers, suggest you try the Internet. They clearly don't want the business do they!!

    Horsewalker Help Please?

    Thanks very much, what a minefield!! The last tenant took walker with them so trying to replace it. FYI I understand from Claydon they had stability issues and now build the arm stand on a hexagonal base as it's more stable than the square one. I've been given a good offer from a new company...

    Horsewalker Help Please?

    Hi just read your post about Kylix, thanks for the warning! I'm just getting quotes and one is from a company called RSS in Yorkshire, could that be the one you were thinking of? If so I don't want to touch it!!

    Could it be hind gut acidosis?

    Try Dengie Healthy Tummy I had great results with it on a difficult and sensitive 12yr horse. He has now put on weight, droppings normal, has lots of energy, good coat and most importantly is now totally level headed. He competes on 4 scoops DHT (2 am and 2pm) with half cup of stud balancer and...

    Rearing Youngster

    Hi just had a quick read through your post and the others. Don't give up on her yet. My sons horse reared right over, lost his back end and fell over with me last year, not long after I bought him. Im fine with naughty and bouncy horses, but this gave me quite a shock, we were only walking and I...
