    Arc equine device

    I use one on my old boy, i bought it second hand from a friend and have always wondered how effective it was as I *thought* I could see a difference. Decided to try it on myself after I damaged the ligaments in my foot/ankle. I'd been on crutches, then had it strapped up and healing was proving...

    Trigeminal- mediated headshaking

    Could it be grazing related? Look at the Calm Healthy Horses website. We solved a few issues, including head shaking in two horses, that was being caused by the grazing they were on. Had one that was hyper, hyper sensitive to everything and head shaking was just part of it. It took a few...

    Current DIY livery costs in Surrey

    We've just moved yards and are now paying £240 per month (was £145) which seems around the going rate in Surrey for anything with half decent facilities. Lots of yards closing as they are being built on so there's a lack of options out there.

    Terrible names

    I had a Pinky. She was an exracer and her racing name was Pinky too. I didn't think I'd keep her so I never changed it, and by the time I'd admitted that I wasn't letting her go it was to late to change it.

    A Towing Car Thread - Sorry

    I had a 2ltr 4wd Tiguan, which towed capably. What I really liked was that when not towing it was a good day to day car - cheap to run, economical, nice to drive, reliable, comfortable. Moved to a bigger car as I needed an auto and the increased towing capacity to tow two, but I'd absolutely...

    To give Prascend or not?

    I have one who was borderline Cushings who's been on a half a prascend for 3 years now. He's TB and barefoot. Whilst he didn't have any real issues other than the odd bit of footiness and drinking a lot it certainly seemed to pick him up and gave him a new lease of life. We've not had any side...

    Girth Recommendations

    I recently bought the Collegiate anatomical girth for 2 of my horses and I've been really impressed with it. No rubbing, it fits both well even though they are totally different shapes, can be wiped down or hosed off as its synthetic and its, imo, much nicer than the Prolite as its softer. Also...

    Adjusting Equipe saddles

    Hi! It was Keith at Equitogs. I'm sure he still does it, though I believe it's a little bit more expensive now.

    Pictures Producing 5/6yr olds

    Really nice to see everyone's updates. Raisin went to his first sj last weekend. We'd been to the venue twice before for arena hire, but this was his first time hacking there alone and going to a show. He was a star. Coped with the other horses, people, dogs, warm up, everything like a pro...

    Winter mode?

    Are people clipping already?! We're still in summer routine.... and in total denial. I've put a rug on my 23yo, but the others are still out naked 24/7. Our stables are being moved, so no chance of changing routine for a few weeks until the work is done even if we wanted too.

    Pink mash

    I feed Pink Mash to all 4 of my horses, and have done since it was released (4 years or so ago). For a couple I feed it with chaff (Dengie meadow grass) and a balancer, others I've fed with additional feed - linseed, keyplus, ease & excel or sensicare. It's just depended on the horse. I find...

    Best supplement for arthritis

    We've two exracers on Vetrofen and have been really pleased with it.

    Canter explosions and other stories

    Sending him out into the world as a 'companion' risks him ending up in the wrong hands and someone else being in your shoes with him in the future. He's your responsibility. You either continue to find the issue, or PTS. I bought young tbs when I probably shouldn't have. It was a learning...

    Loosing a loan horse

    Jealousy is a horrible, ugly trait. It would be incredibly selfish of you to inflict the effects of it on other people. I suggest you end the loan and, if you really cannot cope with sharing, work towards a horse if your own. I'd also suggest you seek help, personally, and learn how to deal...
