I am having similar issues except that if it makes you feel better I seem to be loosing a shoe weekly! The farrier says its because he is heavy and rattles the nails but I said shires keep their shoes on!!! Before everyone shouts bare foot at me I've tried for 9 months with backs off and he...
I haven't bought a horse I bought a hippo!!!
I dont mind 90% of the time I just ride out with an exercise sheet to cover his bum and back!! But we are going to start the winter dressage series and so he needs to be clean for those events!
I have just read all the posts with interest and I'm off to e bay to buy some tail bags as my grey has runny poo issues with the haylage at the moment just to add to the fact he can sniff out dirt at 1000 paces any poo, dust, mud.
The one thing that I notice nobody has mentioned are the...
It depends on your wish list and area, there will be a stable free in a DIY yard in Holcombe (Teignmouth area) but there isnt a school but its good value and friendly.

Thank you all so much, had tried a couple off the shelf probiotics and he's been on the Naf one now but will defo look at the other options as its not seemed to do anything and yes he's grey which just makes the whole situation worse!! But I was more worried for him than me. Thank you all do so...
He's on fibre fast (fast fibre which ever way around it is!) and a scoop of Alfa A. It's difficult as a youngster he was starved so he's greedy! He was on fast fibre with his old owner which is why I kept him on it. He's only getting a small scoop at night.
My horse still seems to have a pretty much permenantly runny bum. The yard I am at provides haylage as part of the livery, there is not room for me to store hay.
I have put him on haylage balancer its helped a bit but he's still runny. He is out in the field during the day and in at night. I...
