This has been my thoughts on my mare. Every professional who sees her thinks she has a odd way of moving her hind is regularly stiff and just has a very odd way of going. I feel it is this pain that has caused her to be so heavy on her fronts and i think it's this that causes the abcesses then...

Hi Thanks for your reply, im curious as to your comment on abcesses with pssm, since finding out about her sire i have wondered if it could cause abcesses but have asked on the pssm fb pages and been told a definate no, although i suspect diffrently i strongly belive they could help cause it. I...

I wrote my post in a hurry before the school run and thought I should also add her sire has pssm type 1 so I have put the hair sample across to test for that although abcesses are not a syptom of that but unknown lameness would be. Am I wrong for assuming her x ray would have brought up pedal...

I have had my mare since 3 and backed her myself. After I had owned her a month it became clear she suffered terribly with abcesses. I had farrier after farrier and eventually managed to keep her relatively abcess free but we do still have about 5 a year. She is shod every 5 weeks as thus seems...

I was wondering if we could do a sort of survey, on hoof condition and how the environment they live in could effect hoof quality. Thought it could be useful for us all. A few questions for you to answer. 1) Is you horse kept in a heavily farmed area? 2) Is your horse kept near a golf...

I feed mine balancer, and she loves it. I love the fact its quick and easy and only one bag to pick up from the food store. She has kept her weight on well and has lived out all year. Her coat is lovely too, and her feet are getting better. Mine last me about 2 months, she cas about a coffee mug...

We had a connie on our yard for a while, and she was very sweet.

Yeah i might do that, its driving me nuts now so i need to do something. This is why i sympathise with the OP. Its hard to get on with other people's children and its difficult to know how to set boundaries with a child who's parents you dont even know, especially if the child just carries on...

My neighbour rings the police on a very regular basis, as he gets the same treatment, and it drives him just as crazy. The police dont care, and he is being driven demented. I dont even understand why the child speaks to him as he is a right old grump to her, but she does not care. He has had...

I started politly, by just saying i was busy, but she just ignores you, then i stopped answering the door, or acting like she was not their, but she just continues anyway. If i say no she just looks at me with this blank face. I treated myself to a load of horsey lotions and potions one day and...

I have the same problem, only it is at my house. I have 2 of my own children, and thats great, but i am not great with other peoples children, frankly i dont like kids apart from my own. These children nextdoor, have broken my fence by climbing on it to talk to me at EVERY opportunity, i...

Thats what my heads telling me, but my gut instinct says that's wrong. Her tack theft last time was that substantial it made national newspapers, including horse and hound magazine. Thats alot of unhappy people missing tack!!

Haha she might now as i have just relaid the whole story on here haha

I feel wrong as i have no hard evidence its stolen, its just with her track record and the fact she doesnt have a pony it seems likely, what f i get her in trouble for something she has not done??

I suspect someone i know may be trying to sell me stolen tack and rugs. We were friends many many moons ago, and she found out i had bought a new horse and said she had everything would need for my horse because she had just sold her daughter pony and that if it fitted i could buy it. Then a...
