Hello, so my horse has always had separation anxiety and has never liked hacking out by himself. When I first got him 4 years ago he would just whinny and jog all the way but as he settled in on my farm at home and got used to my hacking routes he got much better. I have recently moved him to a...

Managed to post one! Haha he doesn't have as much knee action as a welsh would but he has a flashy trot!

I own a 15.2 good doer that is in light work and has been living off grass and hay for the last few years, however his hoof wall has started to come away recently and my blacksmith recommended getting him a supplement and just putting it with a handful of chaff. However I was then told to just...
