A few of the things you have said - like not rasping and only one nail on one side of a shoe do ring alarm bells. I’d maybe try asking him why to both of these things. I appreciate many ferries do not like being questioned but I’m lucky that mine likes me to ask questions although this is a...

Mine are in tonight. It’s really windy, and throwing it down here.

Echo this - we were investigating scabs and sores on legs on a Friesian - there were no liver symptoms and he ended up being diagnosed with an issue. Luckily we had the blood test done else we wouldn’t have known! Another thing I’d possibly explore is ovary pain. I know it has been mild but...

I would get some bloods done and check the liver. Some auto immune diseases are linked to liver disease.

Hmm I am sure on specific tests as I have only ever used the standard one but maybe have a chat with your Vet about it. The standard one will be a good starting point though.

I’d personally get a cushings test. My old mare (with cushings) was a bit like this.

I had given up and stayed bringing mine in at night last year at the beginning of December but so far they are still out this year. They do all have field shelters which helps massively and the fields aren’t too bad but it’s...

Are you sure it’s not earthing somewhere as that will rescue the charge? If it’s looped back is it wrapped around the plastic post for instance?

Another vote for Silvabed - they are a bit more expensive but they are bigger 18kg bags.

I’m pretty sure the allergy is caused by proteins in the horse’s blood. Maybe they have different blood types/amount of protein? 🤔
