I was in a catch in regards to rugging. She is fully clipped but a hot horse. I couldn't leave her unrugged as she would bite/stratch herself till she bleeds, but any kinda rug makes her too hot. Vet did mention about inflamed skin as along her spine, earlier on in the year, she started to...

My mare has very dry skin atm and is itchy to the point of biting herself till she bleeds. I've upped her micronised Linseed but hasn't made much of a difference. Botanica wash and cream have helped a but but still cant get rid of the dryness and scabs. She is clipped. She is also fed...

Yeah i already use there stuff but she's not that keen on the lite and healthy and had issues sourcing the oat straw. Shes been in at night with just a big bowl of lite and healthy and it can go a whole week without touching it. Although she has just started to eat it again now. She might just...

Problem is agrobs is hard to find. She used to be on the wisencobs but she went off them, although that was a while ago now. Yeah fine with Timothy. Its what im struggling with in terms of haylage as thw horsehage work out so expensive. ?

I asked them when i found out about her allergies, and i cant remember their exact reply (i have just tried to find it) but they said they would be fine fed in the quantities that I feed them in. **found there reply it was by email**

What would be a good alternative to the hay cobs? It cant have mollasses in or grass (allergic to meadow, rye and fescue) I use them as treats and to put in a treat ball.

Im shocked at how much the price has gone up over the years from viovet. Used to be so cheap. Ive been using weldricks aswell, they have been good. Managed to not need danilon over the summer this year so next box will be expensive due to needing a vet visit and a prescription. Medication...

Shes done it before but very long time ago. She would settle but as soon as something started to canter she would be off again, have control for 2 secs then it would go and she would take off. It got worse after we had to stand still for the hounds to regroup. The Crank was already on the bridle...

I need some help! Rose has always been pretty good out on a hack in her mullen Pelham with 2 reins. We have arguments but ive always got something there. Went out on a hound exercise today and it blew her brains a bit despite having 4 calming cookies and being 14hh. So she is just in a crank...

Sounds awful and very scary! Hope both of u recover quickly from your ordeal. My mare is 14hh and around 480kg she reacts to the tiniest amount of sedation. Once when she was at the vets i had to actually help her move her legs to get her to move. Took ages for her to come round to be able to...

Mine used to be really good with clipping her feathers but over time for no reason that i can think of she got worse and worse. To the point of kicking out and breaking a pair of clippers. The only way i have managed to get them done is to use a clicker and treat. I just treat now but I still...

Little bit of an update. I have put her onto timothy haylage, as our hay is made from the fields she grazes, to give her a little bit of a break. She is out on a track with minimal grass ( mostly due to the lack of rain!) with a muzzle on to restrict how much is eaten. She also has a nose net to...

So she had always been a bit itchy but only on her tail. Moved to current yard Aug 2018. She got worse last summer and for the first time ever i had to clip her towards the end of summer. The itching persisted into the winter and she started to actually injury herself. Got vet out and gave her...

My mare got allergy tested on tuesday. Turns out she is allergic to many things and will be getting immunotherapy when we decide on which things to give her. This is what she is allergic to; She has had strong reactions to tree and weed pollen mixtures, farina mites, house dust mites, hay mite...

I have mine on honeychop oat straw and she only eats that if she is desperately hungry and know that my friends horse did too. Both greedy cobs. She went onto topchop zero and she just inhaled that so know the honeychop works.
