General anesthetic... really ? I am hoping it can all be done under sedation. :-(

Oh I hope it can be done with local anesthetic and not a general. General anesthetics scare me.

Vet said melanoma not sarcoid.

After a mild colic last week (first colic ever), my vet did a rectal examination on my boy and noticed small pea sized melanomas on his anus. He said that it is recommended that melanomas are lasered off as soon as possible to prevent further issues. My boy is grey. I would like to hear from...

My lovely boy had a mild spasmodic colic last week and during the veterinary examination a rectal exam was done. The vet noticed a few small pea sized melanomas on my horses anus (horse is grey). During his rectal exam the skin was stretched and several more could be seen, vet advised that they...

Bump !

Strip grazing is a good way of controlling weight, muzzling has its risks. I muzzled my good doer (ISH) this time two years ago and he developed ulcers. He was only muzzled during the day and was strip grazed at night. BIG mistake for a horse with a sensitive stomach. Make sure plenty of fresh...

I have been looking into it as it is basically rubber squares with carpet on ! Way, way, way cheaper than rubber strips, heavier than rubber crumbs and doesn't blacken legs. If it it laid too deep, it will ride deep but the idea is for it to cover the sand by 2-3"... I am looking for something...

I have a silica sand surface which is getting blown away in the wind. I have seen these carpet squares as a surface and wondered if anyone knows much about how they ride, do they blow away etc ??

Why didn't the person who called the RSPCA cut the rope...??? Why make a phone call and wait hours until someone arrives...just cut the damn rope. The owner now needs to be hung, sentenced to 8 wks...that is just disgusting.
