I don't have any experience but would be interested if you do find anything out. I have seen a nice looking horse advertised, but my not had any luck finding out a bit more about their reputation. (Other than they didn't call me back when I enquired which I do find a little off putting)

My boy went to Rockley in 2011. He has been home a year His main issues on MRI were had DDFT, navicular, pedal osteitis (plus a few other more minor things - I forget the list it was so long!) He went lame in January, tried the remedial shoeing route including some pretty horrific wedges...

Sorry to hear this, only just noticed your update on RR and here Massive vibes for Frankie and will be thinking of you both tomorrow x

I started to write a really long reply addressing all the points I wanted to make having read this post, however, most of it has already been said so instead I will say with this: I have been out this afternoon in the sunshine on a lovely hack on my horse, and these last few weeks I have been...

Bikerchickone - Small world, Dillon lives in Meopham -well half a mile away! I paid a holding fee for his box as like you I didn't want to risk loosing it. I was also lucky that my insurance paid out as well - but as you say it isn't about the money, the fact that he is still here, ridden and...

ThePony - Yes Dillon with the wedges! - but I don't tell him he's famous as he is spoilt enough as it is!!!! If only I knew then what I know now! Still, fortunately I got him to Rockley pretty quick and we are doing alright now.

Sorry to hear about your horses diagnosis - my boy was similar - Pedal Osteitis, DDFT, Navicular, collateral ligaments you name it he had it on MRI end of May 2011. By 17th June he was at Rockley. Go and meet Nic, I too was impressed at her speedy response/liaison with my vet, but I wasn't...

I just got mine through - £750!!!!!! - thats more than my car and house isurance together! Was £480 last year. I have had a claim this year to be fair, and they have paid out with out hassle. So I can't fault them on that, but I can't pay more than £250 extra either, especially as following...

My horse was also rehabbed at Rockley, sorry I don't know how to quote but I feel Criso has covered most of it!

My horse was given tildren following a diagnosis of navicular. He was given tildren while waiting for MRI - I was advised the treatment would be the same regardless of what the MRI said, so I may as well have it done while he was at the vets. I felt quite rushed to make a decision and followed...

Oberon - Thats my boy! If only I knew then what I know now! Yes he goes out - cautiously over stoney ground but fine on roads and softer ground. We will take it gentley and one step at a time but he is in a far better situation than he was faced with a few months ago. Rockley is a...

I can only echo what others have said about Rockley. Dillon was diagnosed with DDFT, navicular bone changes, pedal osteitis, collateral ligaments - thats just from memory without the report in front of me. The vets gave a very poor prognosis and suggested PTS. (June this year). I had already...

My boy Dillon is at Rockley at the moment too! I am off to visit him tomorrow for the first time since I took him there 3 weeks ago - I can't wait, if I see your boy I will be sure to say hello to him!

My horse has also recently been diagnosed with navicular and DDFT. De nerving was never an option discussed by my vet, so it may not have been appropriate in his case, but its not something I would have considered anyway. I didn't have great options and my horse is not one to box rest...

My horse was recently diagnised with navicular and DDFT. He had Tildren but then MRI showed DDFT so never actually brought him back into work. I did a lot of research and I have gone down the barefoot route, my boy went to Rockley farm on thursday. For me it was an easy choice because...
