    bitting advice

    Hello all, I have just brought a 4 year old and i'm struggling with finding a nice bit for her. I've had her five weeks and the owner before hand had her in a loose ring snaffle. She is super sensitive in the mouth but also ignores anything you ask. I have mainly been doing ground work and...

    Horse Asthma / COPD

    Do you use regular human antihistamines? I know a lot of vet practices do ... might be worth trying her on them ? I'll ask my vet about that, thank you!

    Horse Asthma / COPD

    She was scoped last August and nothing really to see, the vet has said she doesn't think there is any benefit to scoping her at this moment as we know it will just show us she has asthma but no mention of an inhaler or nebuliser yet .... This is my worry, and why I'm wondering if it is just...

    Horse Asthma / COPD

    Oh bless her .... it's so hard !! The vet hasn't even suggested an inhaler yet, just suggested not riding her 😢 Thank you so much! I'll definitely have to try that supplement 😁 She does have a fly mask but not one that covers her nose. She's out atm so been trying to research what to put her...

    Horse Asthma / COPD

    She's only 12, had one flare up last August which we thought was dusty hay and she's then been fine til this hot weather started. Is there anything you do for yours to help against the pollen etc? Or do we just have to keep a close eye ? The vets told me she can't live of the ventipulmin and for...

    Horse Asthma / COPD

    Hi Guys, My horse had recently been diagnosed with copd. She's really struggling In this heat but vets have highly advised to keep her out as she always seemed to flare up when in the stable.

    Mileage on horse boxes.

    I've had a look at the past mot history and it has failed quite a few. This is the latest one- I feel the advisories are probably quite serious and will need sorting at some point but I could be wrong ? I'm unsure on Lorrie's etc. I'm also going to speak to someone I know who's a lorry mechanic...

    Mileage on horse boxes.

    Hi everyone! The stud I used to work for are selling their 3.5 tonne horse box and the owner mentioned it to me before they put it up for sale online as they know I've always wanted one. It's been well looked after and a 2011 plate, but has 220k miles on it. What would your thoughts be on...

    Hopping before a jump ?

    Thank you!! We have tried stopping with the jumping but it makes her a whole tonne worse when it comes back to jumping , the bigger hops come in, really trying to bolt off and not listening at all if we have a break from it :/

    Hopping before a jump ?

    We do ride her forward into a rhythm but she gets far too forward and flat trying to take off when lined up to the jump, which is when I check her and the bunny hops come in. I have lessons every week and we do this- whenever I ride in the school we have raised poles out and a jump (only jump...

    Hopping before a jump ?

    I brought my mare a year and a half ago to hopefully event , she was quite green and very forward high headed into a jump. As time has come on she has learnt to "bunny hop" when coming up to the jump. The more I try to hold her the bigger they get, if I let her go she's gets so flat and fast she...
