My dog is on Rimadyle tablets (75mg daily) & these are very costly from the vet at £70 for 2 months & the result isn't so great either these days. A friend suggested trying Cortaflex but I have no experience/knowledge of this product so am unsure if I should give them at try. Any info on...

Yes our grass is better & the hay is the same weight as he had before. I'm not sure if the quality is the same/worse but I know the straw is better as he'd never eaten his bed before, but had a good munch on that his first night & although still has the odd bit, he prefers the hay. Weight...

I know most will be thinking FEED… SUMMER… But my lad has only been with me since Sunday & I don’t want to make any drastic changes in the first couple of weeks (slowly slowly I thought best). I haven’t had a horse for many years so need a lot of help! I have him stabled at home so no yard...

Thank you everyone :) He's called Eastar & pics to follow asap :D **squeals of delight & loads a goosebumps** My Boy *that feels sooo good to type*

I'd say practical & top advice & not horrid at all :) ty x

I've waited many many years but today I finally become a horse owner & I'm so excited I could burst! I haven't had a horse for 10+ yrs (that was only a share) so I'm rusty I accept, but today I'm back as a complete novice in fact worse than? My brain is blank, I don't know anything it seems...

Just wanted to ask some advice please on conformation. I’m looking at a horse & the owner has said he’s “Toe-out on all feet - but especially his near fore”. The farrier describes it as an 'offset knee. He's not knock-kneed or cow-hocked, and the owner is not sure exactly where on his leg the...

bumping back up as I've still had no luck with all searches & I've spoken to the local farmer (as suggested on a thread here I was reading) & he's going to speak to a 2nd cousin who he'll see in a few weeks (all very relaxed) & in the meantime I'm fretting.

I need a supplier for Hay/haylage & straw who's local/delivers to my area ideally. If you can help please let me know. My boy is due to arrive next Sunday & he's inside at night at present & I don't want to change his diet/routine straight away.

Does need time to grow though before ridding *sorry, but true imo*

Sounds like just what I'm looking for, a nice young-one to be my boys companion. Something the kids can walk around, let him grow & learn about human contact while maturing growth wise too. Just sad your're so far :( I have a heavenly place awaiting the right pony.

:confused: I need to sort insurance today or asap ready for my boy arriving, who's on loan with a view to buy in 12mths. I wanted to go with PetPlan but they want a vet cert which I don't have. Who would you recommend? Do you have vet fee's included? I planned to but the owner has almost...

According to friend they can tell all kinds (diet, back issues, general health etc) which is why I was temped down that route. But with no recommends for the guy, i'm not sure.. Thank you everyone

I'm not sure :) My friend down south uses one & she swears it, say's they much better?? My lad is coming to me next week & he's barefoot, just not sure what I'm going to do yet. I have found a ep that covers here.

are you still barefoot so use farrier for a trim, or did you go to shoes?
