    Cheltenham Thread

    I was screaming the Adam Nichol horse home what a lovely set up he has up there! Glad the squirrel got home safe. I’ve got a little squeak on Haiti for the gold cup but I don’t think the ground is soft enough for him. Me and OH were saying it’s nice to see lots of random horses having there day...

    Leaf Blowers!

    Leaf blowers are game changers if you get back pain on sweeping, it has literally changed my life! If you can get your horse used to it they are good for drying wet legs too, my little mare lets me use it to dry her legs off.

    Addison' disease.

    No problem, this was about twenty years ago now so hopefully there is a better (and more affordable!) way of treating it now. Hope she will be ok xx

    Addison' disease.

    My mums old dog had Addison’s disease, this was many years ago and back then they struggled to pay for the medication so I assume it’s still very expensive. If I remember right they used to go to a human pharmacy to get it with a vet prescription as it was much cheaper. He was diagnosed at 5...

    Having ‘the easy youngster’

    My old boy was a super sweet 3/4/5 year old much like yours nothing faced him. 6/7/8 he was to put it bluntly an a*hole, in those years I seriously questioned my life choices as at times he was just horrible but once we got passed 8 he was honestly the most loveliest boy. You could stick your...

    Oedema under stomach and sheath

    My old boy who I had lots of issues with low protein/high liver enzymes presented with oedema around his tummy/sheath when his levels where out of synch. It’s the only real symptom he had to tell me his levels were wrong. He was diagnosed with IBD and had to have courses of steroids each time...

    Ticks- Help!

    My old boy used to suffer terribly with tic bites, he was kept on yard that was very close to woodland so we had a lot of deer that used to come in the field. The only stuff that ever worked for us was the spot on treatment for cows. I can’t remember the name of it unfortunately. You can buy it...
