Hi all, I've just come across this article on thehorse.com http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=16624 which talks about some new research that has been done into Cushing's disease. I personally found it very interesting, one of my firends horses has Cushing's and I think this may be...

There's been a spate of break in's around Notts, the people in the field next to my friends got broken into, fortunatly my friend has a yearling who plays like a puppy and a shire, the pair together are like guard dogs so we think they might have tried but ended up getting chased!

The place where I ride the liveries often join in on riding lessons and sometimes even the most experienced riders pick up a few tips and tricks along the way from the instructor. Think it also gives newbies a bit of confidence having slightly experinced riders on the lesson as they give them...

Why does everyone that wants a sharer live so far away from me?!

How can you even contimplate doing something like that?! Sickos all of them! These people should not be let out. As you've all said god knows what he'll do in a few years time!

In autumn months the ACTH is higher in normal horses anyway so PPID is normally diagnosed as 100> pg/ml so you have to becareful when you have the tests. Ge the insulin and cortisol done aswell. Can't give an accurate diagnosis from an ACTH result on it's own. If still normal he may have a...

My friends horse does that he's just under 2 yrs, he'll wait till your off guard and just nip. He's not as bad as he was but no matter how much you discipline him he still does it! As for kicking he'd kick forwards or backwards no he's learnt that people stand to the side of him so he kicks...

O no, sorry to hear that *ooba hug*. Boys are rubbish, you don't need them anyway! What you need is a big box of chocolates, a few bottles of wine and a crappy chick flick! O and a big blanket! I juggled 2 jobs and uni so I know how you feel on that front, you feel so much better when you pack...

Unfortuntaly you live too far away from me sounds like a good oppurtunity!

Have you had any blood work done by the vets? At this time of year if the grass gets damaged e.g. by overeating/bad weather the carbohydrate level can rocket and if he's particularly sensitive to these carbs it might cause the laminitis due to higher fermentation rate in the gut by the bacteria...

[ QUOTE ] Kwick Fit....more like Sh*t Fit lol [/ QUOTE ] Or thick fit, they're either thick as sh*t or they treat you like you are, just because I'm female doesn't mean I don't know what a spark plug is!

A ford KA called Matilda, she's fantastic, very cost effective. Tiny boot but with the back seats down you can fit more stuff in and if you put the front passenger seat right forward you can squeeze a couple of sacks of food down there.

My friends horse was on it so I helped her do quite a bit of research into causes of Cushing's and laminitis and different treatment regimes. Unfortunatly Cushing's isn't the same in every horse, it basically causes a dramatic imbalance in hormones and the dopamine and ACTH become out of wack...

You know it's bad when your 'water proof' boots are no longer water proof and feel like a muddy sponge!

All I can imagine is a mission impossible shetland. Maybe its a global conspiracy theory and they're trying to escape to take over the world!
