Perfect, will try that and hope it's a bit more resilient. Thank you

Have tried sprenger, neue schule, sweet iron, stainless and copper and she hasn't liked any of them

Thanks, but is there such a thing as a nathe with a lozenge? Tried a regular loose ring nathe and she seems to prefer the mobility of the lozenge better, she was leaning a bit on the nathe. It also seemed quite big in her mouth?

Hi All Long time no post!! Wonder if you might be able to help me with a query. I have a very sensitive mare who is rather fussy in her contact. I have tried loads of bits and she is by far the happiest in a simple loose ring happy mouth with lozenge. However she does chew on these and I am...

I have sent you a pm

Thanks cp, that's all really interesting. Can I ask the name of the injection you are considering? I may speak to my vet about it and see if she thinks it's appropriate x

I hadn't considered ulcers as been on a digestive supplement as a preventive measure and would have thought that ulcers would show as bilateral pain? She's not girthy at all either

She doesn't like it but she will let you x

Good suggestion but although her teats are swollen there is no heat or hardness and vet didn't seem to think it was that when he did the blood test. I am really stumped but will get them re looked at when she goes in

Hi all, I have got my mare booked in with the vet for various scans to try and get to the bottom of what's going on but in the meantime I was hoping someone might be able to offer inspiration or insight. She started being backwards a few months ago so got her a new saddle and a very good back...

It's dependent on many things I think. I have recently returned to full livery after many years on diy and am at a fantastic yard. By the time I have factored in hay bedding and feed plus fuel twice a day there isn't a lot in it. For the difference I have absolute peace of mind if I am held up...

Amen to this - I had a very unspectacular unplanned dismount in the school a couple of months back, thought I had winded myself but turns out I broke three ribs in the process. Definitely don't bounce as well as I did when younger, as a twenty something year old I had some crunching falls on...

Mark Todd's Charisma was tiny!!!! And he didn't do too badly! Likewise Stroller. There are loads of smaller horses jumping big tracks - I feel sick just watching what some of the better 128s get up to!!!! I would much rather get a talented 15.2 than try to hold a 17.2 together into a fence!
