    Do digestive supplements 'work' ?

    The Ron Fields ulcer stuff is good too. Has anyone used Ponease/ Equinectar? People seem absolutely obsessed with it, recommending it over any vet involvement...

    Advice on 4 year olds behaviour

    Same, full body scan and x rays, insurance only excluded the back (KS found) despite the body scan lighting up like a Christmas tree ( all just age related changes according to the vet)

    Lacking motivation to ride my older horse

    Horse reluctant to go forward and rearing
