Hi Does anyone have any recommendations for DIY or grass livery within 5 miles of Brandon/Thetford? Thanks Emma

Hi I was just wondering what your vet charges for writing a prescription for Danilon so you can buy it elsewhere. My vet is charging around £116 for a box of 60 sachets. I noticed they only charge £60 on online so I rang to ask for a prescription only and they said it would be between £40 and...

Hi Have you tried Miscanthus pellets? - I have been using them for about a year now and find them at least as absorbent as wood pellets, if not more so. Also they much less smelly than shavings. It rots down quickly on the muck heap and makes good compost. They are slightly more expensive than...

Thanks for the ideas I will try them. I was going to do a high trace or blanket clip. I did a trace last year but a blanket clip looks abit easier and I dont think my mare will get to cold with her neck off.

Hi Due to wonky eyes (medical term) I have trouble judging if lines are even and straight so prefer to take my time drawing clip lines rather than clipping freehand. I tried using chalk last year but it was hard to draw a line that was visible and didn't just flake off. Does anyone have any...

Hi I hope this is OK to post. Does anyone know of any breeders of TB x eg. cross Welsh D/ID/Connemara. I am looking for a nice youngster (3 +) ready to back or bring on with potential to do BS and BE about 1m 10 eventually. I am struggling to find this - they seem quite rare. Prefer if within...

Thanks for such quick replies. You have kind of confirmed what I thought. The rider wasn't dire and didn't interfere too much. I guess its back to the search - I hate looking for horses its so difficult. Last time I just gave up after 3 failed vettings and stuck with my horse who didn't enjoy...

Hi I am currently look for a horse with the capability to bring on to BE and BS at about 1m 10. I tried a 6 year old TB who hasn't done much so is unschooled and green. Would you expect a horse that hasnt jumped for about 18 months and is a blank canvas to be able to clear a crosspole and a...

Hi I know all horses are different in how they well they recover but I thought I'd share the positive outcome from when my mare damaged her hind suspensory in the same area. She was about 9 yrs old when she damaged it. She also had shockwave therapy along side being kept in a small...

Thanks for the info :-)

Hi I have been given a couple of names of registered Equine physiotherapists covering the Suffolk area one was Jo Spears and the other was Ella Gay. I was just wondering if anyone had any experiences of using them. . It would be for both me and my horse as I think we are making each other...

Hi I have found a hard disc about the size of a two pence in the front of my 30 year old horses hock. It isn't attached to anything and feels bone like. It doesn't seem to be causing him any pain and he doesn't seem particularly lame, though its hard to tell as he has general stiffness due to...

Hi I was hoping I could get some advice on where to get a new bridle for my horse. I am not sure where to start looking. I would like it to be English leather and made. It needs to be fairly narrow straps as my horse has a pony type head. I don't want a patent one and prefer havana. If...

Hi Does anyone have any recommendations for an equine dentist that covers the Nottinghamshire/Leicestershire area nr Loughborough? Thanks Emma
