Thank you! Will have a look at those 🤩

Hi, I am hoping that somebody out there will help me be able to find a new hat that fits my weird head. I didn’t realise that my head was odd shaped but apparently it is 😂 I currently have a Champion Ventair Skull which fits perfectly and is very comfy. I would like a lightweight dial fit...

Thank you! Wow, it must be powerful stuff; was that only given once a day?

Hi, we are about to embark on a long period of box rest/rehab and the vet has mentioned Potassium Bromide as a possible calmer. I’ve never heard of it before except as a treatment for epilepsy in dogs. Does anyone have any experience of using it? I’m only really familiar with sedalin and herbal...

UPDATE: He is sound on the road!!!! :) Been too scared to try until today but having decided we're going for bare I bit the bullet and took him out in hand. Does this mean I don't need boots for now? I literally went 2 minutes out and 2 minutes back and he was fine until we got back on...

Thank you so much everyone, I really appreciate all your comments and experiences. I have decided to take him barefoot and see how we go......... Will order some products for thrush today but I have scrubbed his feet out with hibiscrub this morning and put some iodine on as it's what I...

I feel like I am about to cross over to the dark side :D Thank you!

:D yes you are! What product would you recommend? And how bad are his feet? (the more pictures of good feet I look at the worse I feel :( ) Thank you so much for your help

Omg ester how did you do that?!?!? :D

Very helpful to me, thank you :) I just feel a bit naughty if I go against the vet but the fact that he's sound in the field only four days after the shoes came off speaks for itself...........

Not sure if this will work as Photobucket not working properly.... https://imageshack.com/i/pmhOCM89j https://imageshack.com/i/pmtqo8eXj https://imageshack.com/i/pooUqVjzj

He's been lame for a month, just came in from the field lame 5 days after being shod. I don't think the second vet concluded not laminitis from the blocks. He was sound on the blocked foot, lame on the other. Am trying to upload some photos but keep getting an error message :mad:

Vet said the shoes were the wrong shape? He took photographs to show the hospital farrier before taking them off and told me to keep them to show the farrier too. He was sound when blocked. I'm totally up for being patient, especially as he is so much more comfortable already. If this really...

Apologies if this has been done to death but would really appreciate some advice/opinions/experiences. Will try to keep the background brief....... My horse has been lame in front. First vet couldn't find anything wrong, farrier says he has laminitis so cue immediate deep bed, soaked hay etc...
