No she is not a dealer, it was a very honest sale, previous owner in Ireland had the horse 3 years and says she knows nothing of this injury !!!!!!!!!!

Hi, a friend of ours sold a horse 5 months ago, it passed a 5 stage vetting, new owner has now come out of the woodwork saying its lame and has been for 3 months, and MRI scan is showing old injury that had been medicated (not sure how they can tell this), my friend only had the horse for 4...

As title really - my boy has got Magic Cushion in his feet due to lameness, anyway, he has it all over his belly and on his elbows where he has laid down, it is rock hard and will not brush off :( Does anyone know how to get the stuff off, ive tried everything ???????

Has anyone heard of the above ? I may be semi retiring my horse and want to find a well run yard with good grass and pleasant hacking ? Thank you

ester - how did you shoe your horse then after he went lame - did you carry on shoeing in the normal way ? I have been reading about wedges and pads and it says that this can do more harm than good ?

I did ask the vet if it was down to bad shoeing and she said she cant really say yes or no

He is shod every 7-8 weeks, the vet didnt say it was the farriers fault, but he is the only person to do my horses feet, so who else could be to blame ?

Following on from my previous thread, my horse was lame after being shod, this has never happened before and i have owned him 2 years. 6 weeks on and he is still lame........ Got vet out to do x rays, nothing hideous wrong with him, no navicular or anything like that, but bruising near to...

Thanks for your help everyone, ive called the vet, she is coming to do x-rays next week, i wont re-shoe until the vet tells me to. Thank you

My horse was crippled lame after he was shod on both front feet, the farrier came back the same day and refitted the shoes, we gave him bute and rested for 3 days, he then went sound in walk, but is still lame in trot on one front foot. This was all 5 weeks ago.......... horse still lame...

As above, anyone heard of him - any good ???:)

Thanks for your help everyone, im going to take a drive down Lullingstone tomorrow and have a look around, i just want a nice friendly yard for my boy with good hacking, at the moment i can only hack out on roads with very little places i can go for a canter. So im really fed up. :(

yes been to Capricorn, it looked lovely, but i couldnt actually see where you could get into the park, the lady said you had to hack right up the back of her fields and then down the other side, it looked like miles before you actually got into the park and all up a big hill.

Hi, I am looking for a livery yard in Eynsford, Kent. I want to be able to hack in Lullingstone Park, so yard must be very near there, can anyone help ????? :)

Hi, thanks for your reply, he has got much much better because at first he was crippled lame and now he is absolutely fine in walk, but when you put him on a circle in trot he looks very sore, but not crippled lame, just sort of shuffling along and not right :confused:
