Thank you all for the advice. He cannot have hay in the field at night as its not allowed, but I know already he won’t eat it anyway. He is difficult to get hay down as he tends to pick at it rather than just eat constantly like a normal horse. He’s always done this since I bought him. I...

I have a 14yo tb x welsh gelding. He has recently been diagnosed with gastric ulcers (not sure on the grade). He was girthy and generally turning grumpy when being handled. He has had one month on cytotec tablets which did nothing, he has just had his last injection of omeprazole and is due...

Thank you all for taking the time to respond My friend sold her horse so she has money to save to buy a house, she said sharing would suit her better as she can then still ride but save too. She won’t be buying another anytime soon. I have had a word with the sharer and she has agreed to...

Thanks for the replies. I ride 3x per week atm and he has one day off. I hack once (hacking isnt very good at the yard) and flat twice, albeit not very intensely. I used to jump but since she has been I haven’t felt like I can because she does it twice already.

Right, its been a while since I posted on here! Anyway I’m hoping for some advice. I recently put my horse up for share and found a lovely girl who looks after him amazingly. The only problem I have is she does not ride him so he works correctly. He is a tb type so all this work with his...

I did in no way pressure my vet into saying turn out! I asked how long he would need to be on box rest for and was told he could go into a small paddock as he would be better off moving around quietly. This is where he has been in a 20x30m grassy paddock no puddles or wet except a little mud in...

The reason he was allowed out was because 1. Hes safer out than in. Literally a donkey in the paddock..aside from rolling and 2. He needed the swelling to go down to allow it to heal. His leg was huge when it first happened. It is now normal size. The stitches and wound were healing so so well...

Thankyou for a quick response everyone. I have cleaned it up and taken out all of the stitches as they were all broken/coming out the pictures were taken before cleaning it just to give you an idea of size etc. It is now clean and just pinky red flesh there was no pus or fluid at all. Will give...

My horse managed to slice his leg open just above his knee and a little to the outside of his leg last Monday (he had a flap of skin basically). The vet was called and he had antibiotic injection, local antibiotics injected into the wound before he put four stitches in it, he didnt seem overly...

So during the summer my horse developed small scabs on his fetlocks (both are white) the right leg being most affected it looked similar to mud fever, except it wasn't wet. So I thought it was buttercup burn, had the vet out and he took some of the scab to examine and said it wasn't a fungus or...

I used to live in Oundle there are lots of yards around main ones I can think of: There is manor yard stables in hemington http://www.ukhorseriderguide.co.uk/listing.asp?ID=4034 Katie Wilkinsons in Glapthorn The Ridings in Nassington Wittering Grange - Might be a little out of your way...

My Lister Star clippers are in need of a service and possible repair after they slowed right down then stopped working last week (although just reading I may not have pressed reset in far enough), so does anyone know of anywhere in Northamptonshire I can take them to be looked at? I'm based in...
