When I bought my mare in from the field last Friday evening she was hopping lame, literally on three legs. Hardly able to bear weight on her near hind. No cuts, swelling or heat to the leg, very slight heat on one sure of her hoof. My farrier came and took the shoe off on Saturday morning and...

It is a very very long story, my daughters ten year old pony was in Regumate when I bought her so I kept her on it, she’d been in it 18 months. Last September she started becoming nappy and grumpy. I asked my vet to scan her ovaries, he said she was ovulating so the Regumate wasn’t working...

She came on Regumate which we carried on with, she was very bargy and rude on the ground when we first had her but with...
