My gelding has an idiopathic bog spavin, he's had thorough veterinary examinations and x rays and has no issues with lameness. I've been looking at different brands of magnetic hock boots, I thought equine magnetix looked quite good as had 3 straps to help hold in place but there are limited...

His interaction with other horses sounds a lot like one of mine. He loves to wind the others up and whenever with another horse he undoubtedly comes in with all manner of cuts and bruises. If he's on the yard you can almost feel the utter dislike the other horses have for him and, although he...

Thanks for the replies! Anti weave grill has finally arrived after a right palaver with myhermes! Fingers crossed she doesnt go from horizontally scrapping along the door to vertically up the bars!! Will give the dog toy idea a try as well :)

Erph! Yes isn't it horrid! It's like the equine equivalent to nails down a black board.

Evening all, was looking to see if anyone has any opinions on my friend's mares behaviour. We've both googled it and not found anyone ever mention their horse doing it, perhaps we need to up our googling skills. She has a habit of running her teeth along the metal on the top of her stable...

I'm hopefully going on holiday early next year and I was looking at possibly paying someone to come in and do the horses. It would be a daily visit, mainly to do the mucking out, sweeping up, prepping haynets of the 3 that will be stabled and haying and checking the 2 living out (My dad would do...

Have you tried feeding him when you take him out to graze in hand? I was slightly confused is it the bute causing him not to eat or the being in? Or a bit of both? I had the same issue with my guy last winter, didn't happily eat bute or danilon, tried all the tricks, even giving it orally but...

I just finished my uni degree this year. I managed to do it with 5 horses, a job, 60 mile round trip to uni and a high maintenance bf that lived in the opposite direction to uni so required yet another 60 odd mile round trip for 4xweekly visits Lol. I'm a total introvert and the idea of...

What's a rah? I've made an educated guess but would like to confirm its what I think ☺️

I did clock what can only be described as cinderellas glass heeled flip flops being worn.

What about a selfie stick tied to the fence and your mobile? That's my plan when my arenas finished. I'm a forever single equestrian and never have anyone to film or take photos 😔

I always seem to miss the memo on the burghley 'uniform' for the year

Was it this one per chance? If so I don't see the problem, looks like a sweet ride :cool: Why the shame?! [/URL][/IMG]

Looking for any ideas on how to keep my mares legs covered. Quick background for the reason is she had photosensitivity as a youngster and I think the skin on the inside of her hocks is still sensitive as one has had a scabby patch all summer and the lateral bursa have been slightly filled. Vet...

Can I just add how sorry I am that you lost your youngster and now retiring one at 9. Very disappointing for you I bet and big sympathies from me. I'm sure he'll be fine, at 9 he's 27 in human years.. I wish I could have retired at 27, lucky devil! ☺️
