So sorry your outcome was a sad one

Thank you so much, may I ask how old your horse was ?

Looking for advice & info on Stifle Athroscopy ie : - Success rate - Recovery & Rehab ie how long ? - Where would you recommend to send a horse (Berkshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire counties)

The horse in question has recently been diagnosed with Cushings & has had recurring thrush. So we’ve had a real battle with her feet. Just wondering if the contracted heel is as a result ?

Looking for advice & experiences of shoeing for contracted heels please. It’s been suggested a form of bar shoe will help in the short term ?
