RE debsflo "im seriously thinking of turning my horse away til february as no time or opportunity to ride.roll on spring" I have seriously considered the same, but would like to get some hunting in come Jan/Feb, so need him fit for that.

Reading these has brought a much needed smile to my face! I said to my friend on Monday that I am at the stage that I normally reach in February, when I seriously start asking myself what I am doing it for after bringing in a muddy horse with mud dreadlocks, a rug on that must be coated in at...

Sorry haven't got back sooner. Seems to be a virus. Vet listened to his lungs and said that they sounded inflamed. took blood which has shown that he has a larger count than normal of whiteblood cells. Has prescrbed him some Noradine granules and a blood tonic. Said not tro be worked this...

Box of Frogs. I know, it's the panting and gasping for air that really worries me. The trouble is he now seems a bit flat and depressed because he isn't being worked! I have always said that I would never be able to retire him! You just can't seem to win. I wish Friday would hurry up so...

Box of Frogs - It is one of the things that I am wondering. Although as I have pointed about above - no cough and he is only 14! applecart14 - Never even thought of that and he does sweat at the drop of a hat! I don't give him electrolytes, but I do always make sure he has a salt lick.

[ QUOTE ] Do you think he could be suffering from some sort of dust allergy from hay or bedding if he has started panting since he has been coming in? [/ QUOTE ] To be honest that is the first thing that we thought of and I have been steaming his haylage, I have been giving him a supplement...

[ QUOTE ] Im interested to know why you have been working him when you knew he wasnt right? [/ QUOTE ] Because as I said I needed to check on what was going on! As he seems so perky and bright in himself and there is nothing outwardly wrong, the only way to get a picture of what is wrong is...

Hi, Have had a niggling concern through the summer as Oddy didn't seem to have the energy he normally has, but put it down to the fact that he was living out (doesn't normally) and grass kept horses can lack a bit of spark sometimes. I also think that he doesn't really like living out as he is...

My boy eats them alive or wilted! And seems to actively look for them. He also like the top off thistles.

Forgot to say do continue to keep us posted Rosiiepimms.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Unbelievable! I think you should quietly alert the local press when it goes to court so that the name of her cr*ppy school is plastered all over the media. [/ QUOTE ] Could not agree more. [/ QUOTE ] Nor could I, and the youngsters involved need a bloody good hiding -...

Yeah, don't stay pink for long though do they!!!!

Oddy stands there(once you have caught him!) looking at the bottle, snorting madly with his eyes rolling. Once I spray him he's fine unless I go near his face. Lord only knows why, because in the 5 years I have had him I have never once attempted to spray his face! I always spray it on my...

Why after all these years does Odds still react like I have a flame thrower in my hand instead of Fly repellent!! Anybody watching from a distance this morning would have been forgiven for thinking that I was trying to murder him from the drama that he was creating! Such a baby!
