Ok I'm after advice on feeding. I have an ex racer whose been treated for ulcers in the past. He is currently on saracen superfibre pencils, dengie healthy tummy and purabeet with turmeric, micronised linseed & pepper. He also has lots of grass as good grazing. He currently is still living out...

Ive recently taken a horse out on loan whose proving to be fantastic, hes 17 years old but when he was 12 he had a shoulder operation quite high up in shoulder. After surgery he was brought back into very carefully and ended up competing very successfully at dressage up to elementary level. 2...

My horse had kissing spine surgery 5 weeks ago. He had 3 processes removed in saddle area. I have sold my old saddle as I don't think that was great for him. I do not have a huge budget but wondered what saddle people would recommend for when I start riding again. Thanks

Thank you all very much. I have sent a join request to the Facebook site my names Jessica hull

Thank you all for your comments. This rehab plan is great I will definitely use this. I think this is just a lot harder than I imagined it would be. It's very hard as every day I look at it and I'm unsure how it's meant to look as no experience with this and I just feel quite useless!! I'm...

Help! Does anyone have any experience with kissing spine surgery? My horse had this surgery 2 weeks ago and he's been home a week. I feel completely in equipped to deal with this and I'm constantly having problems and ringing my vet for advice. I don't believe his scar is healing well. Today a...

Thank you for your comments. He has always been on very good feed. He has a broad spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement in his feed. I am currently washing his pastern area every day with Hibiscrub and then applying Flamazine. The area is all very clean and ive cut the hair away. He has been...

I probably should have said, my vet told me to keep working him so ive been exercising him and also using horse walker so hes stretching his legs twice a day. His legs are not filled at all its literally just the heel on his worst affected leg. I assume its the infection but I just hoped it...

My horse was diagnosed last week with mud fever which had made him lame. He has been on a 5 day course of antibiotics which i just finished this morning. The leg which he was lame on where most of the scabs were in the pastern he also has swollen heel bulbs. He is not lame in walk at all now but...

Thank you for this. Is molichaff calmer a complete food? Or do I need to add something else with this?

I have an ex racer whose 10 years old. I've had him a year and a half and have loads of fun with him throughout the year. He's extremely laid back and great to hack and in school. He has however become very sharp, spooky and difficult since the weather changed. He uses any tiny thing as an...

Thank you for your comments. I have an instructor helping me tonight and hes a very positive instructor who can always jump on if I get really stuck so fingers crossed. I may have to take a step back. I think I have been really lucky with all the flatwork as he has picked all of this up super...

He used to do both flat and hurdling and was a good racer. I only bought him before Christmas and he has only been in full work for 3 months. He is a lovely boy and a very chilled character hes just very unsure jumping. One day I feel like were moving forward and hes starting to trust me and...

Thanks for your response. I think i just find it frustrating as he will sometimes go forward and then you might change the colour of the pole and he will just slam the brakes on and then throw the towel in. When he decides hes not going forward he will just back up continuously.I am just not...

Just wondered if anybody has any tips on training horses to jump. He is not very bold and not very forward thinking. His flatwork is going brilliant but he is really backing off the pole work. Sometimes he will even go over poles fine and then decide hes had enough and just go backwards the next...
