Similar problem for me but is a reaction to something and get horrible little blisters on just one hand which then dry up if they don't get infected and the skin splits- is very painful. Looks gruesome as well. After trying all sorts over 6 months from chemists and doctors prescription I...

Thanks again Totally reassured and going to try him on Wednesday.

Thanks for the replies. Having a few wobbles as have only ever had mares personally, not even been to see him yet. Space isn't an issue- so consensus of opinion is that it should be fine- just be sensible with the introductions/settling in process as I would do anyway. Just about to make the...

Some advice, please. I have 3 mares who have lived together for a long time. There were 4 but recently lost the bossiest of the bunch. Looking for a new horse and only looked at mares- until today. It's been years since any of them were turned out next to neighbouring geldings never mind...

This happened to my Section D mare. Bought her as an eight year old as quite a dull yet unusual buckskin as her mane and tail were the same colour as her body. She is still changing four years later and now has the most beautiful sooty dapples in summer, and she glistens in the sun. Her mane...

Yes & yes eventually Only have mares and they have toilet areas so if they don't change frequently it burns it off. Does fill in but seems to take a full growing season. Not really thought about whether it is specific to their seasons or whether its just gallons in the same spot, but we...

Joeanne, i'm joining you as I read your original post and be positive also replied to mine regarding feeding various hedgrow plants. I was worried about sugar levels. Rhee is 2 weeks tomorrow since she started laminitis with a vengence in all four feet. Shes never been stabled in her 13...

Thanks for the reply. Realised that I mean FRUCTANS Rhee isn't choosing to eat hay, so am looking for confirmation that it is OK to give wheelbarrow sized portions of a mix of all this greenstuff in addition to speedibeet. I have tried Dengie Healthy Hooves no molasses and she wont touch...

Need help & advice which I'm sure will be useful for many. Laminitis sufferers must come off grass or be restricted- this is a readily accepted fact of life due to the frutan levels. However, having scoured the internet over the last few days, there are many herbs which are considered...

Tazzle..it was you! ....I have spent so long just trying to touch her with leadrope etc, I've even tried a large loop of a lasoo stood up in front of a bucket to put her head/nose through in the vain hope of getting it over her head. You posted & invited the OP to PM you. Without looking...

I have the same nightmare, but I am embarassed to say it's now at 12 months uncaught. Been all thru snow & ice unrugged, wouldn't go in field shelter, when i thought I might find a frozen horse. I have tried every non-aggressive tactic I can come up with. This week I have given her a...

To be honest I loved doing it, saved me cost of a vet visits and vet supplied dressings!!! We used miles and miles of several different banadges and padding. Bit hairy to start with until I was confident cos she had to keep hoof on floor and knuckled her fetlock if she lifted and put it down...

my experience was a severed extensor tendon. Robert Jones bandaging for 3 months. I think the whole point is the many layers form the splint and it is then moulded to the shape of the leg, hock etc My vet did the first few rebandaging then I carried on once I knew what I was doing re the...

Thanks Susanna but we visited them in France so it was a conversation- face to face. Would have managed if it was written Really should have paid more attention at school! They were genuinely pleased we went- I was a bit worried it might have been a horror story I just feel that as she...

Thanks for that possibility, her French owners had her for several years on their 'ferme' & there are pics on their website. Couldn't work out why she moved on from them-language limitations!! Will give it a try but ideally want to know about her from Nov'08 to July/Aug'09 Thanks again...
