Strangles blood tests are a waste of time they give so many false positive positives. If you really want to do something you need to pouch wash…although double the price. Having said that if it’s for moving to a new yard, I think if there are suitable isolation facilities then two weeks may be...

Equitrans are usually very good.

As with all breeds you will get different temperaments and types. I sell a huge number of connemaras in the uk and as 3 yr olds you can see some are going to have different attitudes to others. They are addictive though! Without doubt the most popular breed in U.K.

The quality was seriously down that’s why. Definitely not what it was earlier in the year. Anything that was nice still fetched enough money for a winter sale. The problem is too many people breeding inferior ponies as not enough knowledge or thought put into production.

I would try feeding Black salt and maybe Stinky stuff (had good success with both) it may be beneficial to ask the vet to give him a steroid injection to try and break the scratch - ithch cycle so you get on top of it when it’s at its worst.

You’re looking at 5 figures…anything up to 15k. This will depend slightly on age and how ell they ride on the flat etc.

My horse has torn his cruciate ligament. Unfortunately vet diagnosed incorrectly at work and he was initially kept in a small pen. He then received Athramid treatment and after 3 weeks off began two weeks work (mainly walking but also some trotting), this made the injury worse. Vet then decided...

Hello, just looking for some experiences of having Athramid injected into horses stifles. We had it done six weeks ago but no improvement. I’m just wondering if anyone’s horse has come sound after a longer period of time than this? If not, did you try again? What sort of cost did your vet...

I have both stables and a shelter from Longcross stables and I’ve been very happy with them both.

Where is he coming from? I import over 50 horses a year from Ireland and 99.9% of them travel incredibly well, including youngsters who have never really travelled. Choosing your transporter is the most important job! They are doing the job regularly but some are definitely better than others!

Performance would be the more sporty type whilst traditional is chunkier and suitable for showing in flat show Connemara classes.

I’ve had a couple of stables and shelters from Longcross Stables. Very happy with them.

You need at least a month plus I would then give 3 or 4 days as a weaning off dose rather than just suddenly stopping. Ask your vet for advice.

I’d look for a nice 3 yr old Connemara or Connemara cross. I would have some in that budget to suit….

I would say 30-40k is realistic.
