Brilliant Calcyle, just what I was after, can get it for £50 ish second hand so not too horrendous. Thanks

Oberon have you got the Equinology manual? Does it have the origin, insertion, action and nerve supplies? If so its a bargain!

Thanks for the suggestions. I've got the colouring atlas from a previous course, though I should have photocopied the pages first! Konig definitely out of my budget at the moment, Dyce on Amazon is £65.44 reduced from £85. Happy to spend that if I'm certain that it has everything that I need!

Im looking for a book that has pictures of all the deep and superficial muscles, their origin and insertion, action and nerve supply. Does it exist?! I have books with bits of it but not everything in one place!

As oldvic says, she has an ITEC diploma in Equine Sports Massage for which she would have needed a qualification in human massage. She used to be listed on the ESMA website as a practitioner but can't see her on there anymore and never saw her at any CPD meetings so maybe her registration has...

Seems to be a theme with quirky Opposition horses, mine likes to wave too! If you've already got a quirky mare I'd look elsewhere myself. Good Luck!

I bred a FO filly out of my junior event mare. Beautiful tick, movement tick, talented tick, quirky Gold Star! Her dam was a tb x overgrown pony, good bone, slightly straight hocks, 15.1.

aoibhin - like the idea of the string on gate signal, might have to try that with mine who can't seem to get the hang of texts!

My elderly mare has had 2 bouts of liver disease in the last 10 years one caused by ragwort, the other was viral. Am just interested in what you feed yours? I feed mine Baileys Lo Cal Balancer, Hi Fi Light and unmolassed sugarbeet with haylage. If necessary I add some barley for extra...

Nappies act as a poultice in the same way as animalintex does, just cheaper! Still need to tape it on though or put a hoof boot on.

Sorry don't know of anywhere but try advertising on Horsedates. It's free and local! Good luck

Well done!

Haven't had a horse there but have visited it to see client's horses. Seems nice enough, indoor stables, indoor school, decent turnout and of course amazing hacking. PM me if you want to know anymore.

Topthorn Equestrian Centre near Stowmarket has good facilities
