Worth getting in touch with her. He’s a sweet chap

Have a look on the South Downs bloodhounds facebook page and type ‘Amanda Pole’ into the search bar. Amanda has a lovely TB looking for a new home who has a tendon injury so need some rehab. He’s a lovely horse

Vetwrap does the trick

What about these - https://gsequestrian.co.uk/products/arma-fly-turnout-socks?variant=13315990290455&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkqSlBhDaARIsAFJANkiOqFe3CXWo49sPBNmPaGAF4d8kGyI7inP2vN8zb2PQ7d0_ad1aQmgaApK2EALw_wcB And maybe sew a bit of foam in the inside over where the splint would be? There aren’t many...

I’ve just had a look and they are certainly strong money. Plenty of good dealers over here with nice horses for the same price where you can at least try before you buy

if the horse is shown to be a carrier after guttural pouch test, the dealer may well offer to just pay themselves for the horse to be sorted. The blood test shows antibodies so could have just come into contact with it in the past. Probably nothing to worry about but ask the dealer what would...

Personally I’d give it two weeks and revet. A couple of mine had very soft soles come end of winter and as the ground then dried out very quickly, they could easily have been a bit footsore or stood on a stone and given themselves a bruise. I totally understand everyone’s concerns above but if...

I agree. He looks crap. No topline, big hay belly and ribs showing, poverty lines on his bum and not a bit of muscle on him. Looks like he’s been out of work all winter and just dragged in and clipped!

I’ve just spent £75 On a thin line and it’s rubbed so badly just in one day. She has almost a burn on her chin poor horse. Bit of a kick in the teeth after spending that much

I think it can be pretty easy when people post pics of their horse and then post on Facebook groups etc. or use the same profile pic here on Facebook but if they don’t mind people knowing who they are it’s no bother I suppose! I try to keep things non recognisable on here as it’s actually quite...

I’m glad someone said this! It’s bitterly cold here over night and feels more like January than April! Horses almost in summer coats with winter temperatures. I won’t mention what rugs mine are wearing I don’t think!

Don’t Google. It rarely does any good. It really does sound as if he’s just unsettled if it’s only when he comes in of an evening. Try and get some work into him somehow and back to basics with feed. Scrap the likits too!

Can your vet normally do vaccinations into muscle? My old pony was incredibly needle shy so if we ever needed to do any work that required sedation, my vet would sedate into the muscle. I think it’s a different one to the one they use IV but don’t quite me on that. She was very quick to do it so...

The more I read the more I do wonder if he may well just be unsettled but I do think it’s a good idea to get the vet just to have a look as you say yourself you are a little inexperienced so better to be safe than sorry. The £200, was the vet contacted out of hours and that would have been the...

PM’d you
