Our vets are recommending V1-V2 21-60 days V2-V3 150-180 days If you have it done at 120 days then for some governing bodies you will be too early and therefore not meet their vaccination requirements. By waiting until 150 you will satisfy all governing bodies. If you are ‘just’ competing...

I think if they were on your land then certainly speak to them but if they were on neighbouring land with permission then they have done nothing ‘wrong’. Whilst I agree it would be nice to have a note/call they don’t need to and it may have been a last minute meet change. Like another poster has...

Oh no have you had to have Charlie put down? So sorry if you have and I’ve missed a post somewhere.

I asked my vet for a Steglatro prescription. Same drug but in human form and cheaper.

As the above. I use several vet practices and would assume a seller probably would to. I don’t see the GP for every problem, they refer you on or if you have private medical insurance or the money you can go else where to. I use my local vets for routine work and emergency’s. Orthopaedic stuff I...

Yes

I’ve used these on a hunter. Only lost one (touch wood) in three seasons and it was a bottomless day. I do turn out and hunt in over reach boots.

It is to do with the type of joint.

From what I have heard hocks are a joint where I definitely would not use it. Arthramid would be my top choice for them.

It’s been around at least two years on the ‘open market’ but has been used on selected horses a while longer. Only really used on top end competition horses due to the cost but I know a couple of people who have used it as a last ditch attempt, where cost was no issue on good event horses with...

I would be asking for a second opinion as it sounds like your vet is just spending money for the sake of it as he is insured. Bone scans are really only ever used first when you have a loss of performance with no clinical signs such as lameness for the vet to go on. I would start with an...

Louise Collinson Equine Rehabilitation is based at what was Longholes. Really good reputation and works closely with all the Newmarket vet practices and trainers. About 3 miles from Newmarket Equine Hospital.

Albion non stretch, I have had mine 5 years and they still look fantastic.
