    Jill Dawson near Louth has him quite frequently. Rosewood equestrian at Pollington also has clinics. Good luck, appointments are like hens teeth but he is amazing! Wont have anyone else touch mine :-)

    Smoking on yards

    Obviously obesity doesn't affect other people except the sufferer which is why that particular comment was aimed at the judgemental comments (drug addicts, derogatory about someone's personal choice) not the impact on others. I simply think it is unfair to judge someone based on a habit...

    Smoking on yards

    I am a non smoker and don't normally post but some of these comments are just not right!! Firstly, I wholeheartedly agree that you should not smoke on yards and that there is a designated place for that however throwing a bucket of water over someone is assault!! Why would anyone find that...

    What bit is suitable?

    Completely agree with all said but might also be worth trying a bit balm? I use one all the time and my strong warmblood really enjoys! If you message me I can send you a link but don't want to be accused of advertising!!

    Tripping ... Full vet work up, X-rays Cost advise please?

    If it helps I have just had a full set of X-rays on front feet to investigate lameness. All in with original visit to nerve block and sedation for the x rays themselves it was just over £700. This was not including any treatment!

    Whats your favourite horse quote?

    One that made me chuckle, "Horses - dangerous at both ends and crafty in the middle" Came from one of the new Sherlock Holmes movies and typical to form it was my favourite part!

    Keeping a horse entertained on box rest...

    Hi, Had my mare on box rest for almost six months. She was really easy think the horrid winter weather heled with that! I found an equiball filled with grass nuggets and a likit tongue twister that screwed on the wall really helped. Good luck!

    Does anybody not insure their horses and what do you do instead

    Agree completely. I have no insurance for any of my three and am happy with this as I know my horses will always get treatment needed with cost not being a factor, having said that I also wouldnt send for surgery for health and well being reasons not financial. Having just had the worst...

    Just when I thought it couldnt get any worse...

    The good thing about the BCG vaccine was that it never made them angry and open like I found with the Liverpool cream ( not sure if this is case every time with LC but my experience) so was much more comfortable for him. Could be worth trying the cold sore cream first to see if any effect and...

    Just when I thought it couldnt get any worse...

    Your vet may have already suggested this but my TB had huge sarcoidosis in his armpit that were treated with Liverpool cream and came back more aggressive on two occasions. The cold sore cream theory follows the thought that the sarcoids come from a form of the herpes virus. My vet suggested...

    Any teachers out there?!

    Hi, I'm a head of science in a large academy and love it! As others have said though it is stressful and I don't spend enough time with the horses or my job would suffer. That said it allows me to afford to keep three (one retired and one nearly retired). You would need an English degree...

    How Did You Find Out That You Owned Your Horse?

    With one of current horses the trainer said "glad you like him I'll drop him off next week" This was after a five minute introduction when he had just come out of racing. No pennies exchanged though so at least it wasn't a shock and painful :D With the latest addition it was when the...
