Thank you i will go have a look.

Thank you for your response. Do you know where i can get contact details for the osteopathic vet? Everything is worth a try to be honest. Hopefully we get him nice and comfortable.

My youngster had a relatively nasty shoulder injury about 6 weeks ago. To the point where he completely severed some muscles. Deltoid being the most obviously severed. 3 lots of sedatives, local anaesthetic, 2 drains, 2 hours and 8 suture packs later he was all stitched up. He was on 4 weeks...

Thats good to know. I was worried it would. Ill give it a try hes shedding a fair bit.

I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on grooming blocks? I was recently advised to use one to help my yearling shed out his winter coat as hes shedding but then brings the question of does it damage the summer coat that is coming through.

He was a bit hot on his near side hock and a barbed wire scrape on his chest :( silly boy. Him and his brother are in for the night. Vets coming out first thing tomorrow to check him over. Better safe than sorry when my boys are involved.

Farmer ordered gelding as mare was "gagging for it" apparently so I complied and got it done. The farmer is responsible for all fencing and they stated where turnout was to be. Although he also stated that he didn't want a mare on the yard. I phoned the farmer and explained what happened and got...

I didn't beat him. The mare gave him a kicking.

So we got one of our 2 year old boys gelded almost 3 weeks ago. He was out with the geldings as always and was doing his usual parade in the field showing off to the mare who is constantly teasing the geldings and kicking, bucking and rearing at the fence. Then all hell broke loose and he was...

So the vets out tomorrow? Let me know what they say :)

I don't understand the feeding other peoples animals at all! I have moved away from the liveries to a private farm with more grazing and only 2 stables. The second stable is to be used by my friend and her pony at the end of the month. So it will be quieter and less hassle. Thankfully a family...

We keep finding slugs in our feed containers. I put salt round the entire tack room and haven't seen a slug since.

So we had a good wee spell of no biting up until 4 days ago. I am now sporting a large full bicep bruise. I know why I got this bite though. I was taking him out to the field and was having a bit of trouble getting the first gate open. (It's a 2 gate system so that there's no escapes near the...

Yes but she didn't like the dog. To be honest I don't think she likes any dogs apart from her own ones.

How exactly are we a strange family? Did not come on here to be judged and insulted. Please take this into account when replying. The fact here is that I was asking for advice which for the most part I got. I have said to my brother that he should ask to visit the dog but leave him where he is...
