I think I'm right in thinking you own the land but never the footpath that's owned by the council. If there was no footpath there it would be fine as that's your land but I'm afraid the footpath is not a bridle way so you have nothing to go on here: you could apply to the council to have it...

Thanks all, I perspnally won't buy from the cob company as of the negative feedback I've heard, I'm sure you're right and she has some amazing horses but it's very much put me off. I'd like to buy from a dealer I think as I've been stung in the past privately, an old horse isn't for me. I've...

Can anyone recommend anywhere/any dealer to purchase a "safe/bombproof" horse/pony. Ideally a dealer that would do a 28 day trail or longer as have been stung in the past. I am a nervous rider due to some nasty accidents and I now want a nice plod to get me back in the saddle.

Just enquiring what you would pay for a DIY livery with very decent sized stables, 24/7 turn out in summer and day turn out in winter, straw to be included, electric and water on site, with self filling water troughs, one gelding field and one mares, storage and tea and coffee facilities? No...

Hi Pauline! I've heard aloe Vera a lot, have you found it's made a difference ? Do you just add it to his feed? Did you notice much difference to any temperament? He's a fizzy Tb as it is without adding anything that might make him worse!!

Just an update: his attitude was much better last night! Stood to be groomed and was nice and friendly!

Initially the first vet I saw thought it was teeth, but after being given and after a month or so of no difference I got a second opinion, for him to be diagnosed with the TMJ issue, which makes more sense as he was incredibly hard work on one rein etc. I hadn't thought if testing for cushings...

He's no longer in ridden work no, he began bucking when ridden, not eating his haylage, grumpy etc which is very unlike him. The vet then diagnosed the issue with his TMJ. He did say the only way to fully diagnose was with a CT but the cost of that is just more than I can afford so we opted for...

Hi darkwater, he has been on bute, but I have taken him off the bute now. He is eating happily without it, which for him is a great achievement. I thought that would be the case about being a preventive not a possible cure. I think I will give him a few more days to settle back into eating...

Hi All, I think my gelding might have ulcers... He has an issue with his TMJ and is 24 years old. My vet and I came to the decision that a CT scan to find the cause of the problem would not be appropriate at his age, and the cost would not be covered by insurance, and instead to feed him...

Hi, What supplement did you go for in the end? I am looking for something! I'm in a similar position re the scoping! Thanks

Auslander did you have any issues with ridden work? X

Could any one who has experienced issues with TMJ joints PM me? good or bad! I am currently in a situation and other peoples experiences/ advice would really help.

Could it be the TMJ joint? It wouldn't show up in a teeth exam and often goes un noticed, my gelding was misdiagnosed with a teeth issue, turns out its that joint and I had a similar problem when ridden.... in fact very similar on the when ridden on the left rein, he could not bend and was...

Just wondering whos off to the Adult Training camp this year?
