    Low budget dressage saddles

Ok, maybe not when my alarm goes off at 5:30am but I love seeing those two wee faces speaking to me in the morning, changing them out of their stable rugs and checking that they are happy for the day.

    How is she moving???

    What a shame sounds like you have been through a lot! The reason I asked is myself and my 16 year old boy had our best year last year and I worked hard through the winter to keep him in work. The start of the year looked as though we're going to have a good season ahead when he came in lame...

    How is she moving???

    I am going through lameness investigation currently with my horse for lameness at the back (hock area) and front (who knows what area!!) and she looks stiff from behind and with little movement in her hock in the videos.

    Bitting a youngster - what with?

    Getting referred by vets for lameness. Where to go?

    Thanks everyone. I had the vet out yesterday and we have a lameness in his front right and back right and according the the vet an 'interesting case'. He is going to phone Andrew at Clyde and get his opinion and then a referral if Andrew thinks that it's the best option to do so.

    Getting referred by vets for lameness. Where to go?

    Oh that's a bit of a scary thought! Is it Andrew himself that deals with all cases that come in or do they get an assessment then he looks at them if needed? Just curious!
