They poster may have removed their own comments rather than TB being responsible. I think TB has been a bit unwise. I can't be bothered to go and read it again, but I seem to remember her post began with the claim that horses had been 'seized' which i originally took to mean that a welfare...

I also wormed separately for tapeworm. I've used Panacur 5 day for encysted redworm this time. I've heard of so many horses falling ill with encysted redworm burdens over the last few months, I'm seriously concerned about wormer resistance.

I think if someone requests public donations then they must expect scrutiny and criticism. And likewise, if its shared on here then we are entitled to discuss it. The only Go Fund Me's I have donated to were for people experiencing genuine hardship or in genuine need.

Fabulous! Well done to you both!

Never mind...I've ordered some! 😃

Unfortunately I think you are always going to struggle with him in that set up. You know its not great, so im not going to beat you up about it. Is he in work GC? I think without friends to play with, you really need to be doing something mentally and physically stimulating with him every...

Could he be bored rather than hungry? Have you tried giving him some toys to play with/chew on? Is he on his own? If he's not interacting with other horses then that could lead to boredom too. Also, does he have any grazing? If he isnt grazing grass then he's probably just trying to eat hay...
