So glad to hear a positive outcome. Great news. ���� Yes, the walking out in hand malarky is going to be fun (not!) I remember years ago a bad experience I had when leading one of my big (18hh) TB mares after a period of box rest following an arthroscopy to...

Thanks Be Positive. That's useful feedback! Hope your boy made a good recovery? We wont know until February the outcome of ours.

See I didn't like Megazorb. One reason being that I found it too light and that moves about too much. I also tried it in my guinea pig pens and actually found it quite dusty - well, if not dusty like straw exactly, it still puffs little particles of its substrate into the air as I lay it, so...

Thank you. Not heard of Equinola, will look it up on Google. I agree Aubiose is expensive. I was only considering it as my boy is going in for an operation this Thursday and will require 6-8 weeks continual box when he's home. I thought it would be more pleasant for him to have something less...

Which is most cost effective? Pros and cons please!

Thanks for the compliments. He is my boy ♥️

Ah, didn't know sooty wasn't id yet. x

A colour update at rising 5! I think it's safe to say he's ended up a sooty palomino. Are their any genetic colour tests to decide that for certain? What tests would you need and what results would you be looking for?

So here's the same horse this year just moulting into his summer coat. Not the greatest colour on this photo as it makes the chocolate brown dapples and leg markings look dark gray or black, but these are definitely brown. This is a link to his dam's info and previous foals (October...

This is his dam's page: http://www.tawnydunstud.co.uk/page3.html She's October Gold (Nell) and there are photos of her offspring to date. Sire: http://www.pedigreequery.com/tito+gofirst Tito Gofirst is a dark bay TB stallion who is used as a teaser stallion at a stud. Not sure which though...

Mine's palomino. I'll clip his mark to make it clearer in winter. Was going to opt for the bald mark until we clipped my boy in the mark location and saw he had sensitive pink skin which couldnt be marked that strongly. If the mark isnt visible enough, they'll come back out and re-mark him...

Had my 2 year old freezemarked yesterday afternoon. He's a pale cream colour and I had the white mark placed under his saddle area. His skin is pink, so I didnt want the bald mark there but equally didn't want it on his shoulder. I plan to show him at county level and did dither a while about...

Hi, Is anyone planning on entering the Futurity at Bicton this year? I have a 2 year old gelding I would like to enter but due to disability I wont be able to present him in the ring. Does anyone have a team of in-the-ring-helpers that will be there on the day and would be able to help me...
