Yes sure because I was shocked and disappointed that it had gone up when I thought I was being very careful so I made sure it was round the narrowest part where the girth goes :(

Ok thanks. I really thought (probably naively) the muzzle would be enough! I haven't tried lunging yet, not sure if he does but I will try and we are about to section off the paddock to weed killer it but will try the track option once that's done and we don't need the fencing anymore.

I've taken on a rescued Sect C at 13hh and with a big (floppy) crest and pot belly. He's early twenties, more than likely Cushings and had lami way back in the past but non to be seen now according to the farrier. The rescue centre kept him in most of the winter on limited rations and only...

Sorry JillA, didn't fully read all previous posts! :o

Hi cpt, no I haven't done the mineral balancing but apart from the land and the hay, the only iron that may be in her diet is in the Ready Fibre Mash. I only give her about a serving spoonful of that. The MB has no iron added. Also I tried not feeding her at all for about two months when she...

BUMP IMPORTANT!! please read last post

OP take care with the 50 mcg tablets. I thought 50 mcg was half a mg but it's not!! It turned out a happy mistake thought for me as I weaned my horse off P due to that and he is off the drug atm! I checked the conversion on this site...

Sorry, I didn't update the results. She has a deep infection in her inside toe nail bed which has actually caused some boney changes, maybe because she has been avoiding weighting it all this time. She has had two weeks of strong antibiotics and if that doesn't get on top of it, they may have...

Only one person recommended Equimins Meta Balance, which I use as I switched from Pro Hoof because of the price difference. Is there a reason why MB isn't recommended any more? Just asking, wondering if I missed something?

I have a mini mare that I posted about in April this year. She has turny out front feet and her previous loaner had let them grow long. She was footy and lame on her left fore so thought I could sort that out when her feet were trimmed properly. So I gradually took her toes back bit by bit...

I would still look further for pain, she sounds like she's running away from something to me - but only a suggestion.

I know back/teeth etc checked by kissing spines have been missed many times before. I only thought of that as you say she will drop into an outline but immediately tries to run off. I heard the bit about hacking out, but perhaps there are more distractions out and about maybe?

Another omission was that it is a very small yard and before the new liveries arrived we were only five plus the teen so it is difficult to not be involved with each other. Spring Feather, not sure if you read all of my first post - granted is was verrryy long though! Thank you to everyone...

Update; I've chatted with the mum and she's not happy about the free rein :rolleyes: her daughter has been given and is very supportive IF the YO needs the money etc. She will come up to the yard tomorrow to try to talk to everyone, ally, horse owner and YO. I've chatted with the YO and she...

I'm not worried about her falling out with me, I'm more worried about what impression she is getting and where she will stop if she gets away with this as well.
