Full cheek French link and yes last year x

My horse is struggling to work in an outline in walk, despite working nicely in trot and canter! He has had his back done recently and teeth fairly recently. In walk he will either toss his head up (a lot) or hold his head high to evade the contact. Any ideas? My instructor doesn't know what's...

I use Burt's Bees! Have the pomegranate oil stick :) sorted my lips out in one day haha

Fab Thankyou everyone - think I'll try cotton wool in oil or Vaseline! Has anybody heard of or tried cigarette filters? Saw that on a website but not sure!

Is it worth buying actual stud hole plugs or has anyone found a better alternative? Or not plugging at all - will be a day or two anyway until I can put them in? Thanks! :)

Yes well he lives out pretty much 24/7 and always has a rolly x

Fab thanks for advice, will definitely try the linseed. Merry Christmas! :)

I think the micronised linseed sounds good then. Will take out maize flakes and try that and maybe swap Alfa to Alfa oil! Thanks :)

His field mate has this so am tempted to try it too!

My horse's weight (16.3hh warmblood) has started to drop off again this winter. I only bought him a year ago, and he was very skinny then, but by end of summer was at a good weight. Anyway, I'm not sure what to add to give him the extra calories needed - oil, or changing regular Alfa to Alfa a...

The Italian who won a few years ago, Lucca something, on a mare was a lovely rider - horse in snaffle too, no spurs or martingale - shame he's not competing

That's exactly what my horse was on over winter as when I got him he was very skinny! It slowly built him up, but the spring grass coming through really made the difference; he wasn't so keen on haylage much preferred the grass! He's now on one feed of conditioning cubes, chaff and balancer a day.

He better be! Plans to do an event or two this summer look unlikely! Maybe in autumn :)

He had x-ray's today - they're not awful but his has some callos bone and a lot of soft tissue. Any idea what could have brought this on suddenly? Bruising from concussion I guess as been riding him on roads a lot over the weekend. Anyway, six weeks of box rest (well - a pen in his field) and...

Thanks :) Lol I'm only 16! Such complicated animals... Praying for x-rays to show just a few weeks box rest needed but doubting that knowing my luck with him so far :(
