I can also confirm this my Arab who has the most sensitive skin basically allergic to alot of creams sprays, he got really bad vasculitis in the summer needed antibiotics and steroid, I just bought a set and some legs still had some scabs and no hair, honestly within a week all scabs gone and...

I don't think I would walk on the road is there anywhere else you can walk?

One of my Arab's has a back like a very wide cob tried loads of different options and I would say the best one was a Lavinia Mitchell Dressage saddle, second best was a black country working hunter saddle. The Lavinia Mitchell saddles are fitted slightly wider and a shim numnah can be used if...

Honestly I would get a better vet, bad advice telling you to ride a horse that has still not been diagnosed properly.

Great story he is a gorgeous pony 😍

I feed the progressive earth veteran balancer to Arabi I have to split the dose or he won't eat it, tried Equimins he wouldn't touch it. A few times he has had a sarcoid come up it's been when I have stopped feeding it, he has a dormant one in his nostril that started bleeding in December so I...

I had these put it on Arabi left him in the stable went indoors for a bit, came back to a chewed destroyed boot that he manged to get off.

Wasn't it just I even got the ryobi out on the block paving, today you would need a boat out there 😪

Hi yes they are fine I only really ride Arabi now Louis is stiff from his arthritis and he doesn't do needles in the joints very well, he has cushings and I felt he just wasn't comfortable being ridden, he currently resembles a un rugged yak you would never know there is an Arab under there, I...

It's literally not stopped here we need to find a way to conserve all the rain for the crops in spring it's all back to front.

It's just not stopped raining here and the whole week doesn't look great either, it just rains at the wrong time of year dry spring wet winter = no hay 😕

When done on site the vet has had them up and got results straight after, on a few occasions they have wanted a second opinion so another vet may ring later with there view on things.

I would agree with front hooves and or saddle fit, Arabi would present as choppy and tight infront if his saddle wasn't right, maybe try lunging her to see how she goes without a saddle and rider.

Just to add both my Arab's are barefoot have been for years, Arabi has quite a prominent sole which we struggled with for about the first 9 months he had to wear boots for riding, he only really feels very stony hard ground in summer I often use a hardener on just the sole and his fine.

Agree with all of the above, the hoof will go through an ugly stage while it is getting used to having no shoe, the transformation can be drastic but for the better but I found the best results are once the whole hoof has grown out. It is a proper rehab to get the hooves how they should be it...
