Yes...all of the above 😊. No issues apparently. Farrier says most of the Highlands he shoes have similarly rubbish feet. His allergies have made things really difficult in terms of nutrition, but we seem to have got this as good as we can and his gut health has really improved. His hooves really...

This is very topical for me! My boy's shoes were removed a week ago as they were falling apart and couldn't hold shoes. He was absolutely crippled the next day, so has been kept in since with Danilon daily (initially 1 sachet twice per day, now down to half a sachet twice a day). He's in Cavallo...

Thankfully they didn't manage to receive the funds - possibly entered a wrong card digit when purchasing. The credit card company has confirmed that the payment hasn't gone through.

Aahhh...yes, it was hoof boots we were buying! Fortunately, somehow or another, the bank has confirmed that the payment failed (maybe entered a wrong card digit) so not out of pocket, but it's infuriating. No doubt others haven't been as fortunate.

Scarily so. i really feel for Manor Equestrian as this could stain their reputation unfairly.

Just a heads up. I made a purchase online last week to a seemingly very professional website (Equinetstore) who claim to be the online arm of Manor Equestrian. Just had it confirmed by Manor Equestrian that this is a scam, and has already been reported to Action Fraud. Please be aware if...

Thanks! Hoping it's something relatively simple like an abscess, but will have a chat with the vet today.

I'm baffled and a bit worried. Noticed when picking out Einar's feet on Monday that his NF hoof was slightly warm compared to the other 3 hooves which were cold. On examination there was also slight heat in the sole of the hoof and in the pastern itself. The pastern is very slightly swollen...

Hi H&R Hivemind! Looking for a bit of advice/knowledge/experience. I won't bore you with the long and tedious details but, in a nutshell, my 9yo Highland gelding has had various soundness issues over the last 3 years which had baffled my vets and the local Vet School. We eventually stumbled...

This is lovely! I wish more people took your approach.

Hit the nail on the head! Vet has spoken with the clinicians at the Dick Vet Equine Hospital in Edinburgh and it seems pretty certain it's the pollen from rapeseed causing his issues. Unfortunately there's been a major run on Ventipulmin over the weekend (ours is not an isolated case it would...

Yes, it is now you mention it...interesting.

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if the wonderful and collective hivemind of the Forum can maybe throw up some ideas or advice? Quick background: 8 yo Highland gelding getting over a recent bout of mild laminitis. Has always been barefoot but due to vet concerns he has his first set of heartbars...

Thunderbrook Hay Cobs are very low sugar and starch and can be fed soaked, or unsoaked as treats.

Pretty sold on the Vogue to be honest. Just had another lovely ride in the borrowed Fhoenix, and had a soft, relaxed and balanced horse, stretching down happily. Very excited about the saddle fitter bringing the Vogue on Sunday. Just need to sell my eye-wateringly expensive AH Saddle now!
