Thanks DoubleThyme like you say not positive but at least I know what I am dealing with. I kind of think just turn him away and see what happens if he comes back into work he does if not then i'll retire him as long as he is happy and has a decent quality of life that's all that matters...

Thanks guys :) anymore experiences?!! The more the better!!! My boy is going for another scan to work out the exact damage he's done and go from there it's so annoying because to look at him he just looks normal no swelling in his leg, no heat just looks like a normal horse. Just slightly...

Aww thanks guys I feel a bit happier my vet has told me to cold hose to get the heat out and to walk in hand 10 mins a day. He is also very keen on surgery because where the hole is the ligament has slightly thickened. I am not keen on surgery if he was hopping lame I wouldn't hesitate but he is...

Hi Guys, I don't tend to post very often but I really need some advice. My horse came in from the field lame almost 2 weeks ago now the vet seen him a couple of days after he was lame and confirmed he thought he had strained his annular ligament and would need a ultrasound scan. The...

Anyone?

Hi guys, does anyone know where I can get heavy duty rubber matting preferably 17-18mm thick at a reasonable price near Bristol?

I also think the vet is wrong from what you've said about his past. And to be honest TB's don't tend to age v well I'm sure he would look 20 if he was 20. I wouldn't worry about it you know his history and it all ties up :) some vets don't have a clue I've had a few clueless vets out before. If...

Well I went away the other week for 4 nights and was charged £22 but I had already made up hay nets & feeds in plastic bags plus we have staff on site anyway so no fuel charges. :) basically for muck out, water, feed, swap nets over, hose legs plus dry & put barrier cream on. T/o and bring in...

You'll know when you've found the one. I liked the look of my boy then when I rode him we clicked knew straight away he was the one :) be patient he/she will turn up don't settle for second best the longer it takes the more appreciative you will be. It took 3 months to find my boy which I...

Why don't you just ride the horse she's got that way it would be cheaper than sales livery for her and you would be able to ride? Otherwise i'd look for something else otherwise you won't get anywhere x

I do I've had him 3 years this year I'm 27 and he's my first horse. I bought him myself after looking at loads of unsuitable horses and just clicked with my boy. I remember thinking he's not mine until he's passed the vetting then once he passed that I was like he's not mine until I get him home...

Yes you can tow providing the person with you has grand father rights (old licence) or the person has passed the B+E test and has had these categories for a year (I think) not 100% on how long you must of held the licence before you can sit with someone. Also make sure you have L plates on the...

Well as others have said he's obviously feeling a lot better :) I wonder whether he's needing a bit of mental stimulation to keep him entertained. If you've got a school perhaps just lead him over some poles, etc just do little bits and pieces with him and be firm which I'm sure your already...

That's fab news really pleased for you and your girly :) x

I'm sorry to hear a about your awful ride we have them down one of our bridle paths but they are v good. They always stop and cut their engines and let us past always v polite and we are polite back. It works both ways and for me personally if I had been the person on the bike I would have...
