He has overreach boots on all 4 feet!

Thanks. How does he cope on a school surface as that’s where we work?

I'm interested in hearing people's experiences with horses going barefoot that have thin soles, arthritis etc. My horse is a 10 year old warmblood gelding that I have owned for 3 years. He does mainly flatwork but was previously a showjumper. He has always been fully shod and for the last...

Thank you all for your support. I genuinely am trying to find out what is best for my boy. He was diagnosed with EMS a couple of years ago and due to good management his levels have just come back within normal range. There has been a lot of heartache, stress and cost along the way. That’s why I...

There is a slot at the back of the Haycube for you to slide in the regulator. So you fill the cube and slide the regulator on top. As the hay drops down so does the regulator. It is a lot of money but it’s a very sturdy piece of plastic. My horse is ridiculously playful - like a toddler - and...

I’ve had a hay cube with a regulator for a while now and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever bought. I feed wet and dry hay in it.

I’m a caring owner and not covering it up. I’m working with the vet and the farrier. There may be some arthritis. He has a really natural diet already with minimal sugar and starch. He is in a full Thunderbrook diet and has soaked hay. I have already had a discussion with a barefoot specialist...

His feet were out of balance on the X-rays so he was loading the insides of his feet. That said, it was 5 weeks since his last shoeing and was due. The X-rays also showed he has thin soles and is slightly broken back. The farrier has shod him differently. Vet took some blood to test his...

Hi. My EMS horse has been in leather pads and gels on his front feet for the last 18 months. This was because he could get footy and my farrier at the time said he has thin soles and bruises easily. He’d also had a couple of abscesses. He has had no front lameness in that 18 month period...

My horse is sooooo much better behind 8 weeks or so after having Arthramid in his hocks. He’s like a different horse behind but he now seems to be struggling a bit in front now. I do wonder if the extra power and impulsion he has may have stressed him in front. Has anyone experienced anything...

It was my vet that initially introduced me to Succeed. Every vet ive spoken to say something like ‘it works, we don’t really know why, but it does’. It seems like every change in temperature or even moving one paddock along flares it up!

Has anyone found that the faecal water issue comes and goes once treatment has started. My boy has been on the Succeed program for about 6 weeks now and is improving in so many ways. He’s happier in himself, normal poos etc. However, the faecal water stops for several days but then comes back...

Has anyone found that their horse gets really really hungry, almost hangry, when they start to feel better after having hindgut issues?

He’s only 10. Diarrhoea is not particularly problematic. It’s more about the faecal water. I limit his grazing to 4 hours in the morning.

Me again. My horse had been on Succeed and Gut Sponge for about 3 weeks and the faecal water, loose poos, hay dunking and signs of discomfort had almost totally disappeared. He was also moving much easier. However, just over a week ago, he had a wormer (Equest but not Pramox) and vaccination...
