£10 a bale OMG no wonder you are looking for an alternative! Straw and shavings are a nightmare to muck out - I tried it on one of mine! As he can only have straw based bedding he is now on bliss (Other makes available! just not in Scotland central belt!) which is finely chopped rape straw...

Hi everyone Does anyone now what the difference is between the above for bedding please? Horsey has to be on a straw bed but I have just discovered the wonder of chopped straw bedding and love it - thing is the current stuff I am using is really expensive and made with Rape straw so I have...

Looking for a bit of advice please . . . Just bought a stunning (in my opinion ;-P!) wb x tb - he has the most amazing temperament and very loving I just can't believe my luck tbh. Anyway he has never really been fed anything bar grass and haylage - so what should I be feeding him?? Going...

Sorry can I ask do you need to have a vet recommendation for bowen does anyone know?

Hi all I've been trying to find the nutritional info for top spec but they don;t seem to have it online - so thought I'd see what you all thought of both the above. Currently feeding the top spec but see the baileys is about £10 cheaper!! any ideas?? many thanks x

I just used a kettle - not completely boiled worked a treat getting my boys foot out

Thanks Lou_Lou - think I'll just stick to keeping him in to be safe - he doesn't seem to mind - he must have got used to it for the nearly 5 months box rest at the beginning of the year!!! x

I know you don't turn out when its frosty but is it just in the mornings or sunny or just at all?? not been turning out at all when the frost out to be safe but just wondered as the lami sites aren't that clear? Also what about in the snow?? we had a wee bit today but it made me think will he...

ditto timage - The haylage is excellent and Matthew is really helpfull!

Have you checked he doesn;t have gastric ulcers? My boy had persistant diarrhae for over 6 months vet took blood and samples andcould find nothing then he took a serious colic bout and ended up in the hospital he had a gastroscopey (no idea how its spelt!!) and they found he had severe grade 3...

Hiya My boy also had/has the same problem but defo not the danilon, as he was on 1 a day before the enforced box rest due to concussive lami. Vet checked him out took bloods and sample and all normal he put it down to change in diet and routine. I puthim on pink powder and he nearly 100%...

Hiya- my boy was diagnosed with concussive lami start of jan and after 3months box rest with pads on made no improvement if anything he got worse. So my Vet spoke to farrier and they put on heart bar shoes and back filled the sole only from the heel to the point of the frog with gel - the idea...

is there a pulse? Nowdays due to the weather Lami can occur all year round, plus mine is still recovering from concussive lami from xmas!! so would defo keep an eye on your neddy - and if not sure call the vet x

Hiya I think it just depends how much is coming out at first - For foot abcess Vet normally recommends 12 - 24 hours 12 if loads coming out. I know you should only wet poultice for 5 days on the foot but thats to stop it going soft - hope that helps good luck
