They can be prone to dental issues because of lack of space in small mouths. How old is he? There should be 6 incisors top & bottom, hard to tell from pic but I would hazard a guess they've not come through 100% straight because of room and that one has been pushed back behind the others. Vet or...

My mare went to Newmarket for intradermal allergy testing with a veterinary dermatologist. She had 64 injections of the most common allergens on a shoulder, which showed allergies to dust mites, forage mites, mould spores and a couple of weed pollens. Dermatologist's advice was to live out 24/7...

If he's cold, rug him, if he's not, dont.... My retired TB is getting a bit woolly already and has a bib & belly clip because of sweating in the ridiculously warm temperatures a couple of weeks ago, he's unrugged as yet because he's plenty warm enough at the base of his ears/armpits, has lots of...

MyBoyChe - PM Monkers on here, she is a wealth of information on the planned turbines along the Three Shires bridleway.

I have just started my 14yo TB on pergolide/prascend after a culmination of symptoms all pointing at cushings. He's always had a very long & thick winter coat but failed to lose it properly this year and is still hanging onto thick coat in places now. A few weeks ago his supraorbital fossae...

I bought a couple of haynets from them not long ago and had great service, no problems at all.

They're not all miniatures at all, far from it :confused: Chamness, Capitall, Broomells & Weatheroak are 4 larger spotted pony studs just off the top of my head. Have you looked at the BSpPS sale page? There are several on there that are 12-15hh +. Also try spotties.com

A couple of links for those interested.... Thumbelina, the dwarf holding the Guinness record of world's smallest horse, on display and what she is subjected to as a record holder (not comfortable viewing, IMO anyway): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD4j9__qgUs Koda, a dwarf in...

The thing is, because dwarfism is a recessive gene, you could breed two apparantly healthy miniature horses together and end up with a dwarf. There are also different types of dwarves, and different degrees, and many 'minimal dwarves' could, and do, go on to live 'normal' lives. Any...

But Martlin didn't name any yard.... just said your website could be found with some imaginative googling I believe? YOU'RE the one who has jumped to conclusions about which yard is being discussed...

This is my first spring with my TB unclipped (knew him as a racer but he was clipped out then) and he grew a good 3ins (at least) of coat, woolliest TB I've ever seen, and he is looking positively moth eaten atm! He shed armfuls of coat really quickly and I was quite dismayed to find he was bald...

My big lad arrived at the end of last summer and was wormed on arrival with Panacur guard as his worming history was very hit and miss but he started rubbing himself raw not long after arriving, vet found pinworm eggs after taking tape samples from around his anus. Treated - on vet's advice -...

John & Amanda Hope in Grendon have two large DIY & assisted livery yards in the village, but also rent out alot of the grazing in and around the village, it may be worth contacting them to see if they have any available fields away from the yards, PM me if you need their number.

My big lad had a triple dose of ivermectin followed by a course of 5 day guard 7 days later, and an ivermectin solution painted around his anus for 28 days. Seemed to do the trick, no longer itching. It was confirmed by examining strips of sellotape under the microscope which the vet had stuck...
