I have a 7yro TB gelding, which I purchased as a 5yro from a dealer with no muscle or fat on him. He has been back in work for approximately 1 year after he suffered a leg injury and I have noticed his body has become alot deeper as he matured however he seems to still look so slim to me. He has...

Just spoken to our Vets in Sandwich and there is one confirmed case in Tilmanstone (near Dover) and the yard has been put into quarantine, nothing has been reported for Sandwich as yet. I’ve been advised that as long as we keep on top of our own hygiene and don’t touch, or allow the horses to...

samlf do you know where in Sandwich as I keep my horses there and if it has reached our area I won't hack out. Ta

Thank you for clearing this up for me, your help guys is really appreciated! Ah your poor boy it is so upsetting when your horse looses so much weight, I remember seeing my old pony start to loose weight and as she was laminitic it was so hard to help her keep it on no matter how much food...

Ouch! No wonder vets are rolling in it! Sorry for asking so many questions but I have never dealt with a horse with possible ulcers before - do they just need a months supply and then get re-scoped? Is it generally only a months supply they need?

Ah Darcy has had a foot abscess before too, he is my little sick note!! Just waiting for my vet to come back with a quote to scope him, am I right in thinking it costs around £800 for GG? Wish I had got him insured when I bought him now but hey ho these things will happen! A friend of...

I'm looking into getting him scoped for ulcers just to rule it out as that has been on my mind and until I joined H&H I didn't realise how common they are! Puss, Darcy is the same, if it's really windy and cold he gets too excited and doesn't know what to do with himself! Did have a great...

Sorry to rant but I need to know I am not fighting a loosing battle! Late summer 2011 I bought a 16.3 5 year old TB (bred for racing but never raced as slow as a turtle) from a dealer, to be a companion to our mare after loosing my childhood pony. I bought him as a gentle giant who...

Thank you guys, I definately think the wintec one is worth a go as they are so reasonably priced, I will stear clear of the Cair girth for now as it has such a mixed review. I will also get him a sheepskin cover however he might end up looking like a sheep in disguise as his grackle has some...

Hey, My ex racer TB was horrible, I first bought him as a calm 5 year old who within a week turned vile. He has put me in A&E by randomly grabbing me with his teeth, he's bitten by partners face and also bit my mums chest. We had a behaviour specialist come out to him who assessed him and...

Hi Guys, New to posting on here, I have an extremely girthy TB ex race horse who had a rubbish start. Unfortunately my poor boy got stuck under a partition of a stable at the dealers I purchased him from and obtained a large haematoma to his rear leg which was drained by the vet...
