Mine had this, I didn't ride until it has cleared up, personally I didn't use anything on it as didn't want to irritate it, I always use a fluffy girth sleeve and before I ride I always stretch her front legs to stretch out the skin from under the girth (if that makes sense) ?!? and always...

Horse lives out 24/7 checked AM by YO I got down evenings after work at 6, ride, phaff, poo pick back home by 8:)

Hi, jumping on too hope no one minds! My new yard only allows biodegradable bedding and I was thinking of using Verdo woodpelletts as a base (I have a wet mare) , just a question if I may, does anyone bulk out the bed by adding shavings onto the pellets? I was thinking off adding a bag of aubiose?

Mine suffers terribly with MF, if its really bad get vet out and get her on antibiotics as nothing else will clear it, I also get a pink lotion made from the vets to help heal and soften the scabs, if you can keep her in as much as possible it will help, leave the scabs well alone and if they...

Looking for DIY livery, with 24/7 turn out with stable, good hacking and preferably with a school. No big livery yards. Any ideas?

Mines clipped and came in from the field one day a few weeks ago covered in lumps, not itchy and seemed totally fine in herself, I gave her some Benadryl, 7 tablets day for 3 days and started her on Global Herbs restore and it cleared up, suspected Hives - she's had similar before in the...

Morning all, can anyone help with any small (no big livery yards) DIY yards in the above surrounding areas? Must be 24/7/365 turnout with a stable, good hacking with a school. Many thanks!

Just thought I'd post a quick update, antibiotic's finished Sat morning, she's had just bute over the weekend, seems fine now no lameness and temp back to normal. Leg is still slightly swollen but vet said this can take around a month to completely go down and to keep her in plenty of exercise...

Oh gosh that sounds terrible, Glad she is okay. My mare seems so much better now, leg's gone down loads and no longer lame when trotting (on the lunge to get it moving) antibiotics finish Saturday, vet said Monday will be tell tail day as will be 24 hours after antib's have stopped, but advised...

Thanks everyone, she seems much better today, not lame and the leg has gone down loads, just a but puffy around the pastern, I'm keeping her out as id rather she moved about than staying in the stable - I'm lucky that the field is very well drained and not muddy so keeps her legs clear of mud...

Long time lerker - first time poster :) So had the emergency vet out last night as got down the yard and horses leg swollen up and hopping lame! History is that she has mudfever on that leg, been treating it, finally under control and then this happens :rolleyes: Vet advised oral bute...
