    Arthramid injections for stifles

    May I ask how much roughly it was? Still an option for mine as steroids no longer working :( A friend of mine had arthramid in her older horses knees and he is now back jumping etc.

    Arthramid injections for stifles

    Again no first hand experience but my vet wants to use it in my little ones shoulder arthritis, he's had and heard of lots of success. I think in a year or two there'll be lots more cases, but as reports claim it can last 'years' I guess it should hopefully be a while until there are lots of...

    Bad reaction to flu / tet booster?

    Thanks all, glad it's not totally unheard of! He's just not himself, better than yesterday, but still not quire right. I gave him some bute as vet advised to. He's also just been away for the weekend at riding club camp so perhaps he was feeling a bit tired and low and the vacc has just tipped...

    Bad reaction to flu / tet booster?

    Has anyone had a horse react badly? I know it does happen, but I've not experienced it before so currently very worried! Vet came yesterday and jabbed at about 3pm, at half 5 I went to catch in again and he was stood in the corner of the field looking thoroughly miserable. Bought in, tied up...

    Anyone have these

    I don't have any myself, but from what I've heard on social media / friends PE don't generally have the best reputation for their boots. I was only reading a post on a Facebook group this afternoon where someone had been having issues with slipping / twisting and on one boot the inside plastic...

    The Royal Veterinary College, it's a relatively new test I think.

    Suggestions on a post it (hard to bit)

    Haven't read all the replies so apologies if I'm just repeating..! My friends horse is a pain to bit, he also has aural plaque. She has a bridle with clip cheek pieces, unclips the left hand side (standing on left side) and gives a treat whilst putting the ears through headpiece/browband, and...

    What next?

    Have a look at the equilibrium massage pads. I think they're great for warming their backs up before getting on. My boy can be a little bit sharp in the winter when I first get on but if I put the pad on first he's going.

    Disguising antibiotic in feed

    Syringing. My little one had been on and off different antibiotics / bute, he will not eat it no matter what I put it in so syringing is the best way to know what he's had.

    Riding / competing in glasses??

    I used to ride in glasses but just wear contacts now anyway. I do occasionally wear them now but they just irritate me, especially when it's rainy or really hot! I once had a rotational fall and the only real damage caused by my glasses was actually where the rammed into my face and cut me...

    Mucking out or poo picking...?

    I looove poo picking in the summer! I have 3 out 24/7 as soon as it's warm enough and I poo pick twice a day so it's easy. There's nothing quite the same as warm, happy ponies mooching around and snoozing near you when it's beautiful sunshine and 20 degrees at 7pm :)

    Average weight for standard shetty?

    My little was just weighed at the vets and was 180kg. I'm unfortunately not entirely sure on his height but I would guess around 9hh max (very chubby!) and not as stocky as most. I'd go for 250kgs.
