Omg that's what it is like for this guy. He looks mad when it pains him and does his karate chop 🙊😂 That's what my guy sounds like! If he is in pain, he goes quiet and is off immediately! I literally have the vet on standby, all I say is he is off and they now come out straight away 😂 I have...

Oh I am so sorry! That is such a young age too 😢

I won't be putting shoes back on him, the pros of him being barefoot outweigh having shoes on. He lands very well, and his feet look very balanced. It was one of the reasons we took xrays last week, I wanted to know what his feet are doing. They are probably the best they have been in a very...

Hi everyone, Just wondering what salt do you feed your horse? My lad is a big sweaty one, literally even when super fit, he sweats quite a bit. He has always been the same Last year I was giving him normal table salt, is this okay to give? He isn't interested in any licks Thank you :-)
