    Treating ulcers without scoping

    How did you word this to your insurance? I'm with NFU and want to treat without scoping, if PetPlan paid out I would assume NFU would too as they're usually pretty good!

    Forget the toilet roll and hand sanitiser, I just panic bought a horse!

    Just half - Falco was the only foal his mum had - they all really keep the Arrayan Numa looks!

    Forget the toilet roll and hand sanitiser, I just panic bought a horse!

    Just a little update- After (successful!) OCD surgery, awful boxrest, 2 years turned away and then a diagnosis of hock arthritis (now injected with arthrimid) - Falco has finally been backed! I sent him away to Sophie Seymour (highly recommend if anyone is looking, she has been fab!). Sophie...

    How good do you think you are at riding?

    I think I ride my horse really well and we have a great connection - I can't ride anyone else's horse though, absolutely useless at that :confused:

    Ooh she is beautiful! They all have such a distinctive look, can spot an arayan a mile away! I found Falco such a perfect grass livery that I moved my older horse there too. Over 50 acres on a valley in a mixed herd of 18 - couldn't have asked for more and he is so happy there and he is...

    Keeping horses in Sweden?

    ? we actually broke up, he found the long distance difficult and got himself a few other ladies to occupy him while he was there... However! I'm still planning some travels for myself and the horses. Staying in the UK first as a trial run but I might still get to Sweden with one of my horses...

    Does anyone know if he was turned out on his own or in a herd (ie not with just one other)? I don't think I know many young horses that would stay put in a field if they weren't in a herd environment

    Although I don't know this person, she really does seem to have hit the nail on the head. I've used Nancy as an instructor for many years up until my horse went lame 2 years ago - she has always been the one that sees the good in horses that others can't get a tune out of. I won't say my...

    Has anyone gone from total boxrest straight to turnout, without in hand walking?

    I like to give updates on my posts just for anyone who might have the same questions- Falco did well being turned out, i think it has to do with his herd being a quiet lot. However after such a long time boxrest for a baby I decided to turn him away to mature at a lovely yard with a mixed herd...

    Has anyone gone from total boxrest straight to turnout, without in hand walking?

    Hope your horse recovers well! It sounds like you have a good sick paddock set up where you are. I only used relaquin for the first day of turnout, since then he hasnt needed anything - though I am still weaning him off the valerian that he was on while on nlbox rest - so we will see what hes...

    That sounds like it would work great, I will have to work on finding a volunteer for the other side though lol!

    Has anyone gone from total boxrest straight to turnout, without in hand walking?

    Well, we went for it! The vet reassured me that we had done extra box rest because of the lack of being able to inhand walk, and that he was more than ready to go "out out". We decided to sedate with relaquin (you can see in the video just how much good that was!) and to turnout with my other...

    Has anyone gone from total boxrest straight to turnout, without in hand walking?

    Ideally yes, but we can only turn out 24/7 when our farmer allows it. That can be anywhere from end if April until mid June (and he doesn't give any warning either!) I've got a feeling after a long day out he will be exhausted, he has always been a bit of a gate hanger waiting to go back in to...
