Can anyone recommend good full livery around Stockport/ Marple/Poynton?

Thanks for your replies. He has been seen by the Vet, who suggested a probiotic and dry bran, and see if he improved, which he did. She said if there was no improvement or he got worse, they would do bloods. However, every now and then he's had a day when he's squirting again. If he doesn't...

Hi My 24 year old gelding is going through a phase where he squirts liquid after pooing , or sometimes just squirts liquid. His poos are fairly solid though. I have tried some dry bran in his feed and also Protexin gut balancer. Some days he's ok and some days he squirts more. He's being turned...

Goyt mill and Bowlers for feed and tack. Nathan May is a good farrier. Vets, Simon Constable, Agnew Equine. Everyone has their personal preferences! I have looked at lots of yards including the one I am on currently, and it's a hard slog finding the right place! There are a few around Woodford...

Eccleston EC, http://www.equestrian-northwest.co.uk/ Karen is an excellent trainer, she put me through my BHS stages years ago, and found me my horse who I have had for 14 years!

thanks! but he's recuperating from a tendon injury and on restricted grazing, so not in work. This is the latest in an injury and ailment ridden last 2 years!Oh the joys...

Hi Thanks for that, I was worried that a large chunk like the one in the picture would come off and wanted to protect it while waiting for the farrier. I didnt want him to rip it off and make it worse, seeing the picture and knowing that horse was still sound is reassuring!

My horse had an abscess a few months ago and now his hoof is breaking up on the outside near the white line area where the abscess was. He is unshod at the moment and I want to turn him out in a hoof boot that would protect that foot and prevent it from breaking further and also keep it clean...

Hi, hope you dont mind me asking, but whereabouts is your yard and what facilities does it have? Is it DIY or does it offer services? Thanks!

I am wondering if it may be time to retire my boy after he recovers from his latest injury. Can anyone recommend anywhere, preferably on the Stockport side of Cheshire? Thanks!

Hi I hope you don't mind me asking, but does Paul Jackson do hot shoeing as well as barefoot trimming, and does he work on Saturdays at all?

thanks, someone else on my new yard also has Paul and has given me his number .

Can anyone recommend a good farrier who will come to the Marple area? Preferably someone who could come out at weekends

Thanks all, I have now been offered some used ones at a good price!

Has anyone got any rubber matting for a stable they want to sell, or can recommend somewhere to get them from at a reasonable price, preferably under £30 for 1 6x4 foot. Will need about 4, but 2 would do to be going on with. Thanks! Manchester/Cheshire area
